Patient's question:
I recently had a thorough check-up at the hospital and was diagnosed with fatty liver. At first, I didn't pay much attention because although I was diagnosed with this condition, I still felt fine—eating well and sleeping soundly—so I continued eating as usual without adjusting my diet. But over the past couple of days, I suddenly feel easily fatigued, occasionally dizzy, and my complexion isn’t looking good either. I’m a bit worried.Doctor's answer:
For patients with fatty liver, the first step is to control their diet. They should avoid foods that promote fat accumulation in the body and typically limit the intake of high-fat, high-cholesterol foods such as animal organs, chicken skin, fish eggs, crab roe, and brain. It is recommended to consume 0.5 to 0.8 grams per kilogram of standard body weight daily. When cooking, opt for vegetable oils instead of animal fats.2. For fatty liver patients, consuming an adequate amount of water daily is beneficial for normal kidney function, weight loss, and promoting the metabolism of fat within the liver. In addition to timely treatment for fatty liver, patients should maintain a positive attitude to face the disease. Only in this way can they reduce their immunity and strengthen their will to combat the illness. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their dietary care, ensuring balanced nutrition and proper digestion of nutrients. They believe that this will definitely drive away fatty liver.
