Patient's question:
I have an obese body type with a lot of fat around my abdomen. Recently, I've been feeling discomfort in my stomach. I went to the hospital for a urine test and found out I have fatty liver disease. I was very upset to hear this. Now I'm afraid to eat any kind of meat and only eat vegetables with every meal. I don't know what to eat. What should I pay attention to in a fatty liver diet?Doctor's answer:
Fatty liver is a common diffuse liver disease. If diagnosed in time, it can be reversed; otherwise, some patients may develop non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, and in severe cases, cirrhosis. First, identify the cause and take targeted measures. Eat more vegetables, fruits, and fiber-rich foods, as well as high-protein lean meats, river fish, and soy products. Avoid snacks and do not have extra meals before bedtime. In addition to treating fatty liver, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood at all times to enhance their physical fitness and slow down the recovery process.
