Want to 'reverse' fatty liver? If you can't get out of these 4 misunderstandings, a lot of efforts will be in vain
Fatty liver is not an independent disease, there are many triggering factors, but most fatty livers are related to diet. Fatty liver is a reversible disease, as long as early diagnosis and timely treatment can eliminate fatty liver and restore liver function to normal. However, patients should avoid going into misunderstandings in terms of diet. Only a correct diet can relieve the disease.
- Must have breakfast
As the quality of life improves, people's diets tend to be high in fat and low in fiber, which can lead to nutritional imbalances and increased liver stress. Especially those who do not eat breakfast will weaken the body's ability to metabolize protein and fat, and cause metabolic disorders. At the same time, it will also disturb the normal nutritional structure of the body, and cannot consume a large amount of calories and fat in the body, which will eventually be deposited around the liver. No matter how busy you are at work, you must have a nutritious breakfast.
- You can't just drink soup without meat
Many people's eating habit is to only drink soup and not eat soup residue, thinking that the nutritional value of soup is far more than the meat in the soup, and it is enough to drink the soup. But in fact, the broth contains more purines and fats, and only a small amount of protein. Drinking only soup without meat may lead to fat accumulation in the long-term and increase the level of uric acid in the blood. When patients with fatty liver drink soup, they should try to choose clear soup to remove the layer of oil on it.
- Vegetarian diet cannot reduce fatty liver
Many fatty liver patients insist on vegetarian diet due to disease, but in many cases the nutrients in vegetarian diet cannot meet the body's energy needs, which will lead to the lack of vitamins and proteins in the body, increase the content of glucocorticoids, and release a large amount of free fatty acids into the blood. The lipoprotein transport capacity is exceeded and eventually deposits around the liver, causing dystrophic fatty liver. Vegetarians need to go to the hospital for check-ups on a regular basis, supplement vitamins and proteins reasonably, and usually eat vegetarian dishes with meat dishes.
4, can not let fruit replace the staple food
Replacing the staple food with fruit can exacerbate fatty liver symptoms, cause rough skin and hair loss. Staple food contains a lot of carbohydrates. Reducing the intake of staple food will increase the content of non-carbohydrates such as protein and fat. Protein and fat will decompose a lot of harmful substances in the body, affecting the normal metabolism of liver and skin cells. The sugar in fruit is a monosaccharide, which will be directly absorbed by the body. Excessive intake will increase the blood sugar burden and convert it into fat and accumulate around the liver. Try to use five grains as the staple food, such as corn, potato, flour, rice or buckwheat, etc., and eat about 200 grams of fruit per day, and try to arrange it between meals.
Fatty liver patients need to pay attention to dietary conditioning. They cannot blindly reject fats and carbohydrates, so as not to cause malnutrition and aggravate the disease. Participate in physical exercise to enhance physical fitness, avoid smoking and drinking, and can't abuse drugs.
