Patient's question:
I always eat dinner and drink alcohol outside due to work. Previously, when I had regular health check-ups, there were no major issues. But recently, I've been unable to eat properly, so my family took me for a check-up. The results showed that I have mild fatty liver, which scared my family badly. They insisted on getting medicine for me, but I know that "every medicine has three poisons." I believe this is caused by my diet, so could it be treated through diet as well?Doctor's answer:
You should maintain a regular three-meal diet habit. Avoid overeating, snacking, and having a heavy dinner. Do not add extra meals before bedtime and use appropriate cooking methods. Try to consume vegetable oil, with a daily intake not exceeding 20g; control your salt intake, ensuring it does not fall below 5–6g per day. Ensure sufficient daily fluid intake to increase bowel movements. Try to include coarse grains like millet in your diet. You can consume black sesame seeds, black fungus, kelp, hair moss, and cauliflower in adequate amounts to help lower cholesterol. In addition to active treatment, patients with fatty liver disease should maintain proper dietary habits in daily life to digest nutrients effectively. I hope the above information can assist you.
