Diet for patients with liver disease

  The liver is the digestive organ of the human body and has various functions such as synthesis and detoxification. After suffering from liver disease, the digestive and absorption functions of patients are affected, resulting in poor nutritional status. In order to improve the body’s resistance, it is necessary to increase nutrition, so what should be noted in the diet of patients with liver disease?  For chronic hepatitis patients without obvious nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, anorexia, poor appetite, diet and normal people basically no difference. If the patient himself has a reduced appetite, bloating, etc., then a light diet, such as rice, noodles, vegetables, high-fat greasy foods, and high-protein foods are not easy to digest and should be avoided until symptoms improve and then resumed. In this regard, Chinese medicine and Western medicine have different views. Chinese medicine believes that many foods are hot and should not be eaten for liver disease, but western medicine proves from practice and theory that many claims have no scientific basis.  For patients with advanced cirrhosis, in order to avoid bleeding from ruptured esophageal varices in the fundus of the stomach caused by portal hypertension.  Diet needs to pay attention to the following points: 1, soft food, rice should be fluffy, avoid fish bones, fish spines, boiled eggs, vegetables, fruits should be cut into fine pieces; 2, avoid boiling food to cause blood vessel rupture, avoid hot pot and other irritating food; 3, avoid overeating, quit drinking, otherwise it can also cause bleeding; 4, clean diet, otherwise infectious diarrhea caused by ascites, bleeding, liver coma; 5, avoid eating a large amount at one time High protein diet, otherwise cause liver coma, because a large amount of high protein diet will produce a lot of ammonia, liver detoxification function decreases, increased blood ammonia leads to brain toxicity.  For patients with fatty liver, limit the intake of meat and fat, eat more dietary fiber, and pay attention to whether diabetes leads to fat metabolism disorders.  In short, on the one hand, the diet needs to ensure nutrition and daily energy requirements, and on the other hand, to take care of whether the liver’s digestive absorption and detoxification functions can play properly, otherwise, eating more can not be converted into nutrition and resistance, but will lead to complications.
