Patient's question:
Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has been affected. Now, I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. I would like to ask if the soy lecithin my son bought for obesity and fatty liver can be consumed?Doctor's answer:
Phosphatidylcholine has the effects of lowering blood lipids and softening blood vessels. It has a preventive health benefit for those with obesity, as well as for preventing high blood pressure and high blood lipids. However, if you need to treat high blood pressure or high blood lipids, it is still necessary to visit the cardiovascular department of a hospital for medication treatment. Because of its blood lipid-lowering effects, it is beneficial for fatty liver. It is recommended that you pay more attention to your diet on a daily basis, with a light diet as the foundation, avoiding greasy foods, especially the intake of animal fats.
