Patient's question:
My grandfather has severe fatty liver, doesn't drink beer, but dislikes greasy food and loves fatty meat very much. My grandmother often tells him not to eat so much fatty meat, but he not only ignores her but sometimes even scolds her, saying she meddles in his affairs.Doctor's answer:
What should be paid attention to for severe fatty liver? The most important thing is to control diet and pay attention to daily habits.1. Patients with severe fatty liver should first control their diet. They should eat less food that increases body fat and avoid foods high in fat. Generally, the daily intake of high-fat foods should be 0.5—0.8 grams per kilogram of standard body weight.
2. Protein has the effect of protecting liver cells, which can force damaged liver cells to fully recover and regenerate. Therefore, patients with severe fatty liver should increase the intake of soy products and lean meat in their diet, but avoid excessive consumption of milk.
3. Patients with severe fatty liver should also ensure adequate vitamin intake. It is best to eat more fresh green leafy vegetables and fresh fruits with low sugar content. Foods high in sugar, such as carrots, taro, potatoes, yam, and vermicelli, should be consumed in moderation.
