Patient's question:
A few days ago, our company held a health check-up, and the result was fatty liver. The possibility is that there were too many banquets. How should fatty liver be treated? Can dietary therapy be used for daily management?Doctor's answer:
The principles of a fatty liver diet include:1. Adjusting the dietary structure. The dietary principle focuses on controlling total energy intake, providing high protein, consuming low fat, and limiting the intake of cholesterol and carbohydrates. Minimize refined rice and flour while incorporating more whole grains.
2. Breaking bad eating habits. Eat meals at fixed times and in controlled portions. Limit snacking and avoid sugary drinks like cola and Sprite.
3. Quit smoking and drinking alcohol. Alcohol damages liver function, disrupts fat metabolism, and can lead to fatty liver disease. Abstain from alcohol completely.
4. Opt for cooking methods like steaming, boiling, and stewing, avoiding frying and other methods.
5. Drink plenty of water or light tea.
6. Consume less salt, keeping daily salt intake below 5 grams.
