In recent years, the incidence of fatty liver is increasing among modern urbanites. Some young and middle-aged people, who have not yet developed hypertension or diabetes, have got fatty liver first, but in fact, fatty liver is like a prelude to other metabolic syndromes, and people who have got fatty liver will indeed have a higher chance of getting hypertension, diabetes and high blood pressure in the future than others. And they also have the risk of fatty liver aggravating into hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and even liver cancer. So I think that to deal with fatty liver, prevention is far more meaningful than treatment. First, the danger: the development of steatohepatitis can be life-threatening In fact, in recent years, many people in the unit physical examination will be detected fatty liver. In this regard, some people do not think, some people are very nervous. So, what exactly are the dangers of fatty liver to human health? The pathological types of fatty liver include simple fatty liver and steatohepatitis, the latter of which can develop into cirrhosis and liver cancer. Fatty liver currently ranks 5th in mortality in developed countries, after heart disease, cerebrovascular accidents, lung disease and tumors. Of course, most of the fatty liver found in medical checkups is simple and mild, but if left unchecked, it is not impossible to develop into steatohepatitis, even cirrhosis and liver cancer. In addition to the more harmful steatohepatitis, fatty liver also has a close relationship with obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and other metabolic syndrome, “it can be said that non-alcoholic fatty liver is a manifestation of metabolic syndrome in the liver, and fatty liver people tend to have a higher chance of metabolic syndrome than the general population.” Second, the response: no special drugs, to rely on dietary control and exercise Often patients ask: “I found fatty liver during the physical examination, how to treat?” Fatty liver is not like diabetes or hypertension, where medication can have an immediate effect; on the contrary, there is no specific medicine to deal with fatty liver. However, fatty liver is actually a reversible lesion, especially since most patients are currently suffering from mild simple fatty liver, which does not require medication. However, it is worth noting that patients who develop steatohepatitis often have abnormally elevated transaminases, which require medication in addition to changing past bad habits and lifestyles, and choosing the appropriate medication for each situation. The fatty liver drugs need to be used under the guidance of a doctor, patients better not buy the so-called “miracle liver drugs” on the market, they play a very limited effect in the treatment of fatty liver. The actual fatty liver is a very important part of the diet. The key to diet control is to control the total daily calorie intake. Generally speaking, the total daily energy intake of an adult should be controlled at about 20~25 kcal per kg of standard body weight, and should not be too saturated and greasy. Foods with high cholesterol must be restricted. In addition to cholesterol, the intake of carbohydrates should be properly controlled. Some people think that if they do not eat meat, they will increase the amount of rice, but in fact, rice, pasta and other carbohydrates in the body is also converted into fat. So it is best to use coarse grains and millet and other grain cereals, do not eat or eat less refined sugar, honey, fruit juice, jam, preserves and all kinds of sweet snacks. At the same time, patients with mild fatty liver should eat less than 5 grams of salt daily. Patients with mild fatty liver should eat more vegetables and fruits; should not drink cola, Sprite and other high-sugar drinks, drink more green tea, or drink some kiwi and hawthorn drinks containing less sugar, it is best to quit drinking because alcohol can aggravate the degree of fatty liver and damage to the liver.
