1.Fatty liver is just a liver disease? As the largest internal organ of the human body, the liver has many functions such as material metabolism, bile synthesis and excretion, detoxification, immunity, blood clotting, etc. It has strong compensatory and regenerative abilities. When such a powerful organ has problems, damage to other organs has already begun. For example, when long-term alcoholism leads to alcoholic fatty liver, the brain, cardiovascular system, digestive system and reproductive organs have already been damaged by alcohol and its metabolites for a long time; while non-alcoholic fatty liver is only one of the manifestations of metabolic disorders, diseases related to insulin resistance, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes, may already exist, or are occurring and developing. Like an iceberg on the ocean, fatty liver is just the tip that is exposed on the surface. Therefore, when you find out that you have fatty liver, you have to have blood pressure, lipid and blood sugar tests in addition to liver function tests. 2. No treatment for asymptomatic fatty liver? The liver is an amazing organ. There is no innervation inside such a large, substantial organ, only sensory nerves in the envelope. Only when fat accumulates in the liver cells to a certain extent, the liver volume expands and the liver envelope is stretched, will discomfort such as swelling and hidden pain in the liver area occur. Due to differences in individual sensitivity, the time and degree of symptoms will be different for each person, and even if some people do not experience any discomfort, their fatty liver may have reached a moderate to severe level. Moreover, perhaps people with fatty liver had symptoms of weakness and poor appetite early on, but just didn’t take them seriously. Therefore, the treatment of fatty liver should be early, not related to the presence or absence of symptoms, early mild fatty liver through lifestyle changes, diet structure adjustment and appropriate exercise can be completely restored to normal. 3.Will only obese people get fatty liver? It is true that obese people are more likely to get fatty liver, and more than 70% of fatty liver patients are overweight or obese. However, there is no lack of thin people in the ranks of fatty liver. Such as alcoholic fatty liver, because alcohol interferes with the normal metabolism of nutrients, resulting in malnutrition, wasting, and long-term malnutrition, protein deficiency, lipoprotein synthesis disorders, fat can not be further aggravated by fatty liver, which is a vicious circle; there are diet, vegetarian, do not eat on time often hungry people or too fast weight loss, due to low fat intake, body fat decomposition exceeds the metabolic capacity of the liver The fatty liver will also get fatty liver. Fatty liver is not directly related to fat or thin, but is the result of metabolic disorders in the body. 4.Do I need to take drugs for fatty liver treatment? Liver-protective drugs are only used when there are obvious abnormalities in liver function, while it is controversial whether lipid-lowering drugs can treat fatty liver. It should be noted that the metabolism of most drugs is in the liver, and abuse of drugs may aggravate liver damage. Therefore, the safest and most basic treatment for fatty liver is still to change the lifestyle, adjust the diet structure, sit less and move more. The story of the “mob mom” also confirms this point. Of course, this “walking” approach is still a bit intense, if you can under the guidance of a professional reasonable diet and moderate exercise, you can be more healthy to eliminate fatty liver. 5, fatty liver patients need a vegetarian diet? As mentioned before, a vegetarian diet will lead to too little fat intake and too much body fat decomposition, which will not only fail to treat fatty liver, but also aggravate it, and insufficient protein intake for vegetarians will also lead to reduced lipoprotein synthesis and impaired fat transfer, which will also aggravate fatty liver. Therefore, want to eliminate fatty liver through vegetarian diet is not feasible, only the appropriate energy, with a reasonable diet to treat fatty liver. 6, fatty liver patients eat more fruit beneficial? Fruits are rich in vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber, all of which can promote lipid metabolism. However, the sugar content in fruits is high, when eating too much fruit, you also take in too much sugar, which on the one hand disrupts sugar metabolism and has a negative impact on blood sugar, on the other hand, too much sugar can be converted into fat in the body, which can aggravate fatty liver. Therefore, whether fatty liver patients can eat fruit, what kind of fruit they eat, how much fruit they eat and how they eat should be determined on a case-by-case basis. If you can intervene early, it is possible to reverse the fatty liver, but the real fear is to ignore it, ignore it, once it develops to the extent of cirrhosis, liver cancer, health can no longer “start again”!
