Patient's question:
Since I was a child, I have particularly disliked beef and mutton. So basically, I have to have either beef or mutton with every meal. Moreover, I eat a lot of it. Recently, during a health check-up at the hospital, I found that my liver has some problems, possibly fatty liver. Does eating too much meat cause fatty liver?Doctor's answer:
Not, but some young people suffer from excessive nutrition and obesity. They skip breakfast and overeat at night. They dislike sleeping in, and these are all risk factors. Patients with fatty liver should pay attention to dietary control. Appropriately controlling daily caloric intake is the primary principle for treating fatty liver. Under a fixed total caloric intake, high protein, sufficient carbohydrates, and fats should be distributed appropriately. By controlling food intake, the underlying cause of fatty liver can be fundamentally alleviated, reducing the burden on the liver's metabolic processes. It is recommended to seek treatment at a large hospital. For patients, if the condition of fatty liver is severe, timely symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of fatty liver. Additionally, patients need to pay attention to their diet and psychological care.
