  Fatty liver disease is a clinically pathological liver injury with a broad spectrum of disease that can manifest as simple fatty liver disease, steatohepatitis, and can develop into liver fibrosis and cirrhosis.  Fatty liver is the second most common liver disease after viral hepatitis. The prevention and treatment of fatty liver is not only a medical problem, but also a social problem, and fatty liver has become the focus of attention of many disciplines such as digestion, endocrine, nutrition and cardiovascular.  The latest survey data show that the incidence of fatty liver in large and medium-sized cities in China is 20%, and the incidence of fatty liver in obese people and type 2 diabetes patients is 50%. Moreover, more and more “little fat pier” has become the “reserve army” of fatty liver.  Fatty liver is not a terrible disease, it is a reversible disease, as long as you take active measures in life, most of them can be cured. If your body has the following conditions, you should be alert to whether you are suffering from fatty liver.  1, loss of appetite: loss of appetite is one of the common symptoms of fatty liver. If you lose appetite for a long time, you should consider the possibility of fatty liver after excluding gastrointestinal diseases.  2, nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension: fatty liver can be accompanied by nausea and vomiting, oil aversion, epigastric fullness and other discomforts if it is accompanied by liver function damage. The symptoms of nausea may also appear alone.  3, fatigue and weakness: moderate fatty liver or above can have the performance of tiredness and easy fatigue.  4.Spider nevus: It is a vascular nevus formed by the branching expansion of the end of small skin arteries, which resembles a spider, so it is called spider nevus, and often appears on the face, neck, back of hands, upper arms, forehead and shoulders. The diameter can range from the size of a pinhead to several centimeters or more. When the center of the nevus is pressed with a fingertip or cotton swab, the radial “small vascular network” will fade and reappear after the pressure is removed. Spider nevi are most common in patients with chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis, but can also be seen in some patients with fatty liver.  5. Vitamin deficiency: Most patients with fatty liver have unreasonable diet structure and insufficient vitamin content in food, which makes them prone to multivitamin deficiency. It can be seen clinically as peripheral neuritis, tongue inflammation, stomatitis, skin bruising, hyperkeratosis, etc. A few people may also have gastrointestinal bleeding, gum bleeding, epistaxis, etc.  6, endocrine disorders: the liver has the role of inactivating estrogen, patients with severe fatty liver may have gynecomastia, testicular atrophy, erectile dysfunction due to reduced inactivation of estrogen, and women with excessive menstruation, amenorrhea, weight loss or gain, and other manifestations.  7, jaundice: jaundice is due to impaired metabolism of bilirubin in the body, resulting in an increase in the concentration of bilirubin in the blood, which penetrates into the tissue and stains the sclera, mucous membranes and skin yellow. The type of jaundice in fatty liver is often hepatocellular, and this type of jaundice is often accompanied by fatigue, lethargy, loss of appetite and other symptoms. A small number of patients with fatty liver develop mild jaundice, which subsides when the fat in the liver is removed.  Fatty liver is an acquired disease caused by poor lifestyle and can be prevented. It is important to start from daily life and develop good lifestyle habits so as to stay away from the dangers of fatty liver. There is a sixteen-word key to liver health care: “Eat a reasonable diet, control your weight, exercise in moderation, and use drugs carefully.” By doing these, not only can you reject fatty liver, but also keep obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar and other affluent diseases out of the door.  1, reasonable diet: three meals a day with reasonable meal allocation, so that the coarse and fine match, nutritional balance. Adequate amount of protein can remove the fat in the liver, should be 80-100 grams per day; staple food should not be too fine, should be moderate to eat more coarse grains, such as oats, corn, sweet potatoes, soy products, etc.. These foods are rich in linoleic acid, calcium, selenium, lecithin, vitamin E and more fiber, which can reduce serum cholesterol, triglycerides, neutralize the excess acid produced by excessive consumption of meat and eggs in the body, maintain the body’s acid-base balance, and can discharge excess fat, sugar and toxins from the intestines, playing a role in reducing fat; ensure sufficient vegetables and fruits to ensure that the body’s vitamin and Food fiber needs; fruit contains more sugar, the consumption should be appropriate.  2, moderate diet control high energy, high sugar, high fat diet: first of all, we must control caloric energy, weight loss to standard weight as the goal, so that energy consumption is higher than energy intake.
