Patient's question:
Usually sitting in the office, severely lacking in activity. I'm only 40 years old this year, but unfortunately, I contracted fatty liver disease. Fortunately, it's mild fatty liver disease, but it needs attention. Can mild fatty liver disease be treated?Doctor's answer:
Principles of Diet for Mild Fatty Liver DiseaseThe dietary treatment principle for patients with mild fatty liver is to control total energy intake, supply high protein, consume low fat, and regulate the intake of cholesterol and carbohydrates. Patients with mild fatty liver should eat more vegetables and fruits, as they contain vitamins and minerals that can accelerate liver cell repair. The dietary fiber in these foods can also promote cholesterol excretion and accelerate cholesterol metabolism, thereby reducing blood lipid levels. Yogurt, garlic, onions, mushrooms, black fungus, hawthorn, mung beans, and other foods have cholesterol-lowering effects.
Regarding beverages, it is advisable to avoid high-sugar drinks like cola and Sprite, and instead, consume more green tea or low-sugar kiwi and hawthorn beverages.
