Patient's question:
I have been drinking beer and smoking for several years. Recently, a friend has been urging me not to keep drinking beer and smoking all the time. They say that at my age, I should be more careful, as it's the time when I am likely to get fatty liver. I want to ask how to prevent fatty liver through work?Doctor's answer:
Constraining diet means controlling high-energy, high-sugar, and high-fat diets. First, it is essential to control calories, aiming to reduce body weight to a standard level by ensuring energy expenditure is lower than energy intake. Increase the intake of side dishes, reduce the consumption of staple foods, quit smoking and limit alcohol, especially focusing on reducing high-fat foods. Avoid or minimize sweet foods, fried foods, as well as broths like meat, chicken, and fish soup. Do not consume high-cholesterol foods such as animal organs and egg yolks to promote the hydrolysis and consumption of excess fat in the body, thereby reducing weight.In addition, during the treatment of fatty liver, besides immediate medical treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. It is essential for patients to maintain a positive mood and eat appropriately to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of fatty liver.
