Patient's question:
I am a high school teacher. During the school's health check organized the day before yesterday, I was carefully examined and found to have fatty liver. I went to the hospital, saw a doctor, got some medicine, and then went back. He said I also need to pay attention to diet to better treat it. Hello, what are the things to pay attention to in terms of diet for fatty liver?Doctor's answer:
Fatty liver, in addition to drug treatment, should also pay attention to the following points in terms of diet: 1. Pay attention to protein intake. Because many amino acids in protein have anti-fatty liver effects. High protein can purchase choline, methionine, and other anti-fatty liver factors, which help transform fat into lipoproteins, facilitating their smooth transport out of the liver. Generally, protein intake should be 90-120 grams per day, and should not be less than 1 gram per kilogram of standard body weight. 2. Control energy intake. Because high energy intake can lead to the continuous increase of fat production, accelerating the inflammation of fatty liver. For normal weight individuals and those with light workloads, the recommended energy intake is 30 kcal/kg; for those who are overweight, the recommended energy intake is 20-25 kcal/kg.
