Patient's question:
I've been feeling uncomfortable in my stomach lately, and I'm also very tired. My stomach feels bloated, and I often feel like vomiting. It's been less than a month, and I feel like I've lost a lot of weight, even though my appetite is still the same as before. My wife is worried that something might be wrong with my health and urges me to go for a thorough check-up with her. The result was mild fatty liver. The doctor prescribed medication and also advised me to pay more attention to my diet, as it would greatly help with the condition.What should be noted in the diet for patients with fatty liver?
Doctor's answer:
Points to note: 1. Reduce the intake of foods that promote body fat accumulation, especially fatty foods. 2. Proteins have a protective effect on liver cells, so it is advisable to limit salt intake to less than 6 grams per day. 5. Eat less spicy and irritating foods, and avoid consuming broths like meat, chicken, and fish broth to prevent weight gain. Cooking methods should primarily use steaming, boiling, stewing, braising, and poaching. 6. Alcohol should be strictly prohibited for individuals with fatty liver disease. Additionally, during the treatment period for fatty liver disease, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient must ensure adequate vitamin intake, prevent digestive issues, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
