Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. My husband always dislikes drinking beer. After drinking it for over ten years, he was really diagnosed with severe alcoholic liver disease. Now he cannot drink beer anymore. I want to get him to switch to drinking tea. Doctor, what kind of tea is good for alcoholic liver disease?Doctor's answer:
Alcohol needs the liver to detoxify in order to be metabolized and excreted from the body. Long-term consumption of beer can lead to liver function damage, and prolonged drinking can result in alcoholic liver disease. If not intervened and alleviated in a timely manner, it can progress to liver cirrhosis. Patients with alcoholic liver disease are advised to drink green tea, black tea, chrysanthemum tea, and similar beverages. Additionally, a light diet should be maintained, avoiding smoking, and increasing the intake of vegetables and fruits. It is also recommended to consume high-protein, low-fat foods.
