Patient's question:
As a fatty liver patient, the physical and mental torment is great. Every day, I worry about this and that. During the thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor told me to pay attention to some dietary matters, but I have forgotten them now. Therefore, I would like to consult our doctor. My condition is not severe at the moment.Doctor's answer:
1. Patients with fatty liver should first control their diet. They should reduce the intake of foods that promote fat accumulation in the body 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 avoid spicy and irritating foods, such as onions, ginger, scallions, garlic, chili peppers, and coffee, to prevent increased appetite.
5. Patients with fatty liver should strictly avoid alcohol. Since more than 95% of alcohol is metabolized in the liver, excessive and long-term alcohol consumption can lead to alcoholic liver disease, worsening fatty liver.
