Patient's question:
Recently, I suddenly dislike greasy food. My favorite dish, braised pork in brown sauce, now makes me feel nauseous when I see it. I went to the hospital for a check-up and had an ultrasound. The doctor said I have mild fatty liver and advised me to pay attention to my diet. Am I not allowed to eat any meat at all?Doctor's answer:
The liver is the body's main "detoxifying organ." To protect liver cells and prevent toxins from harming them, it is essential to consume a sufficient amount of certain foods. These include bok choy, green peppers, tomatoes, carrots, amaranth, sesame, green cabbage, pears, bananas, apples, watermelon, eggs, fish, shrimp, beef, chicken, rabbit meat, and soy products. For patients with fatty liver, in addition to receiving conventional medical treatment, they can use herbal remedies as supplementary therapy in daily life. It is crucial to avoid extreme hunger or overeating and never indulge in binge eating in daily dietary habits.
