Is mild fatty liver generally treated?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I have a disease that I've never heard of before. The possibility is that it's not related to me, so I shouldn't worry about it. The reason is that there's no one like that around me. It's fatty liver. I encountered it on the health check-up form at the factory. I specifically asked the doctor, and the doctor said it's mild fatty liver. You should pay attention to your diet.

Doctor's answer:

Mild fatty liver generally does not require treatment; it can usually be reversed through proper diet and regular physical exercise. The dietary treatment principle for patients with mild fatty liver is to control total energy intake, supply high protein, consume low fat, and limit the intake of cholesterol and carbohydrates. Therefore, it is best to adopt coarse grains and millet, while avoiding or minimizing refined sugars, honey, fruit juice, jam, candied fruits, fruit canned goods, and various sweet pastries. At the same time, patients with mild fatty liver should consume less than 5 grams of salt per day, as salt can enhance gastric juice secretion and increase appetite. Patients with mild fatty liver should eat more vegetables and fruits, which contain vitamins and minerals and can accelerate liver cell repair. The dietary fiber in them can also promote cholesterol synthesis and accelerate cholesterol metabolism, thereby reducing blood lipids.
