Patient's question:
If you have developed fatty liver, how should you treat it? I am a mild fatty liver patient, and my condition is still good now. Sometimes, when I am tired, I have difficulty breathing. I want to control the condition earlier. I don't know what to do to control the condition. Doctor, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
1. Patients with fatty liver should first control their diet. They should reduce the intake of foods that increase body fat and avoid high-fat foods.2. Patients with fatty liver should also ensure adequate vitamin intake. It is best to consume more fresh green leafy vegetables and fresh fruits with low sugar content. Foods high in sugar, such as carrots, taro, potatoes, yam, and vermicelli, should be consumed in moderation.
3. Patients with fatty liver should also limit their salt intake, keeping it below 6 grams per day.
4. Patients with fatty liver should eat less spicy and irritating foods, such as onions, ginger, scallions, garlic, chili peppers, and coffee, to prevent increased appetite. They should also drink less meat broth, chicken broth, fish broth, etc., to prevent weight gain.
5. Patients with fatty liver should abstain from alcohol. Since more than 95% of alcohol is metabolized in the liver, it can worsen fatty liver.
