Patient's question:
I don't like eating fatty meat, and my weight has been increasing. It seems like I have a slight feeling of pain in the liver area, and I have no appetite. The doctor said it's fatty liver and recommended that I eat less greasy food and exercise more. I'd like to ask if people with fatty liver can drink Pu-erh tea?Doctor's answer:
Of course. Fatty liver refers to the excessive accumulation of fat in the liver. Once diagnosed with fatty liver, what should be done? First, identify the cause and take targeted measures. For example, long-term heavy drinkers should abstain from alcohol. Those 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. Patients with malnutrition-related fatty liver should appropriately enhance their nutrition, especially protein and vitamin intake. In summary, removing the underlying 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 drinks). Eat more vegetables, fruits, and fiber-rich foods.
