What should I do if I have fatty liver?

Patient's question:

My husband is a business manager who often attends banquets outside. It's possible that he hasn't paid attention to his diet, and now his stomach is quite large, like that of a pregnant woman who is five or six months along. Last month, he felt pain in the upper abdomen and went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctors diagnosed him with fatty liver disease, and he is now taking medication to treat it, but the results haven't been very effective. What should be done about fatty liver disease?

Doctor's answer:

Ah, first, identify the cause and take targeted measures. For example, long-term heavy drinkers should abstain from alcohol. Individuals with nutritional excess and obesity should strictly control their diet to restore physical health. Diabetic patients with fatty liver should actively and effectively manage their blood sugar. Malnutrition-related fatty liver patients should appropriately enhance their nutrition, especially protein and vitamin intake. In summary, removing the cause is essential for curing fatty liver.
Second, restructure the diet, advocating a high-protein, high-vitamin, low-sugar, and low-fat diet. Avoid or limit animal fats and sweets (including sugary beverages). Additionally, during the treatment of fatty liver, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. Patients must pay close attention to their diet, consuming more light foods to avoid unnecessary harm.
