Patient's question:
I have severe fatty liver, often feel dizzy and lightheaded, and my skin has also turned yellow. My palms and the whites of my eyes are very yellow. My family members tried acupuncture and cupping, but nothing helped. When I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, they confirmed that I have severe fatty liver. How can fatty liver be managed through dietary therapy?Doctor's answer:
Carrots can be used for the dietary treatment of fatty liver. Carrots are slightly warm in nature and have a sweet and pungent taste. They contain provitamin A (beta-carotene) and also volatile oils. This product is rich in nutrition, promotes digestion, and can be eaten raw or cooked. It is effective in reducing vitamin A levels in hepatitis B patients and indirectly preventing the recurrence of liver cancer. For patients, if the condition of fatty liver is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered, otherwise it may lead to a recurrence of fatty liver. Additionally, patients need to maintain a proper diet and keep a positive mood.
