Ms. Zhang is a white-collar worker in a company, who loves beauty and is desperately trying to lose weight in pursuit of the ideal lines, and has made a strict weight loss plan for herself – no staple food every day, and three meals basically replaced by fruits. After a longer period of implementation of the weight loss plan, Ms. Zhang went to the hospital for nausea, bloating, aversion to grease and other symptoms, and more worryingly, Ms. Zhang also had weakness and endocrine disorders. Through examination, it was found that Ms. Zhang’s liver function was abnormal, and through ultrasound examination, it was mild to moderate fatty liver. How could this happen? Isn’t fatty liver a disease only for fat people and people who drink a lot of alcohol? In earlier years, the mob mom who moved China to cut her liver to save her son, was not through the mob this way to lose weight, and eventually lost the fatty liver? Ms. Zhang was puzzled. What does a fatty liver look like? The liver is covered with grease? The fatty liver is caused by the accumulation of fat in the liver cells for various reasons, that is, the fat is not wrapped around the outside of the liver. The fat we are referring to here is mainly the neutral fat “triglyceride”. In normal people, the fat content in the liver accounts for 2%-4% of the wet weight of the liver. When the fat content in the liver exceeds 5% of the wet weight of the liver, or when more than 1/3 of the liver cells have steatosis, it is called fatty liver; fat content over 10%-25% is moderate fatty liver; over 20%-50% is severe fatty liver. What we often call fatty liver is a common clinical phenomenon, not an independent disease. If you have fatty liver but do not pay attention to it, it may cause ischemic necrosis of liver cells in the long run, which may lead to liver fibrosis and cirrhosis and other malignant liver diseases. It may also lead to digestive system diseases, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and many other diseases. How can fatty liver be caused by weight loss? There are many causes of fatty liver, in our country is still mainly over-nutrition type, but like malnutrition and other reasons caused by fatty liver is also not a few. Nowadays, many young women overly pursue slimness and do not eat staple foods but use fruits or so-called nutritional tablets instead of three meals a day, resulting in serious malnutrition and a serious lack of protein and calories. When the human body is in a state of long-term hunger, the body cannot obtain the necessary glucose and other energy substances and various oxidative enzymes needed for fat burning, in order to make up for the lack of glucose in the body, the human body will use the fat and protein stored in other parts of the body, which will be converted into glucose. These fats and proteins will be converted into calories through the liver as a “transfer station”, so a large amount of fatty acids enter the liver, and the body lacks the necessary enzymes and vitamins for lipid metabolism, resulting in fat retention in the liver, causing a fatty liver. Unbalanced diet can cause fatty liver. Nutritional imbalance, such as often large fish and meat, many people in the cause of obesity or gastrointestinal discomfort when the physical examination only found that unknowingly have fatty liver. Some women who love beauty lose weight and use the “hunger strike diet” to lose weight, people lose weight and their liver gets fat. Other people, such as drivers, white-collar workers, migrant workers, etc., are hungry and full every day, rubbing a meal every now and then, or sitting all day without moving, looking quite healthy a person, but once the investigation is also fatty liver. Mild to moderate fatty liver is reversible. Clinically, the course of fatty liver is divided into several stages: simple fatty liver, steatohepatitis, liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and eventually liver cancer. Mild to moderate fatty liver can be fully recovered through balanced nutrition and moderate exercise, while severe cases must seek medical attention to prevent further development of the fatty liver course: 1. Ensure the intake of carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and dietary fibers: you can choose more cereals such as coarse grains, skim milk, egg whites, fish, shrimp lean meat and other high-protein and low-fat foods. 2, moderate exercise: for fatty liver patients, the most suitable and effective exercise, is moderate intensity aerobic exercise. Such as brisk walking, jogging, tai chi, cycling, etc. 3, control the speed of weight loss: light obesity should be controlled to lose 1-2 pounds per month, moderate obesity control in 1-2 pounds per week, not too fast. Do not continue to reduce weight after reaching the ideal weight, should maintain the weight can be.
