Patient's question:
I am from Qingdao, Shandong. I didn't hear about the dinner party clients starting those days to do a health check-up. The detailed examination revealed that I have fatty liver. This job is impossible for me. I want to know if there are any good methods to treat fatty liver. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Fatty liver patients should develop good eating habits, persist in eating breakfast, eat less high-calorie fast food, avoid rich and heavy dinner meals, try not to eat "late-night snacks," reduce fried food consumption, eat until 70-80% full for lunch and dinner, drink less beer, and avoid alcohol for those with alcohol-induced fatty liver. Dietary control involves regulating bowel movements and controlling calorie intake. The key to proper diet is "rebalancing the diet and nourishing the liver with food." It's important to note that skipping breakfast can also lead to fatty liver. While ensuring adequate intake of various nutrients, it's advisable to moderately increase the consumption of high-quality proteins such as fish, eggs, milk, and lean meat. This is because enhancing the intake of high-quality proteins can boost the body's production of lipoproteins. Lipoproteins help transport fat deposits from the liver, thereby alleviating fatty liver.
