Attention to fatty liver must do 7 things

  More and more people are now being diagnosed with fatty liver during medical checkups. The American “online encyclopedia” (eHow) website recently had medical experts pointing out that fatty liver is an important sign of liver disease, which can lead to many other diseases without a sound, and if left untreated, may lead to permanent liver damage such as hepatitis or cirrhosis. With a fatty liver, you must do the following 7 things: 1. Absolutely no more alcohol. Although some fatty liver has nothing to do with drinking, experts say that once diagnosed with fatty liver, patients should absolutely prohibit alcohol, the reason is simple: an injured liver can not handle alcohol, drinking will only accelerate the deterioration process of the liver.  2. Weight loss. Since fatty liver is a digestive system disease, diet control is crucial. Losing weight is the core task to eliminate it, and the fat in the liver will be reduced along with the body fat. It is also important to actively exercise moderately and do outdoor activities frequently.  3. Try to avoid all kinds of drugs. Injured liver function is weakened, then eat a lot of drugs (including certain vitamins, herbs), or inhale chemicals such as paint and chlorine in the environment, will make the damaged condition of the liver even worse. However, experts say that once the fatty liver causes abnormal liver function, or elevated transaminases, you should take lipid-lowering drugs, enzyme-lowering drugs and fish oil supplements under the guidance of a doctor, but never increase the amount of drugs without authorization.  4, eat less fatty meat and fried food. As the fatty liver’s function of eliminating toxins, purifying blood and eliminating waste is greatly reduced, so you should try to consume less fat, eat less fatty meat and fried food to give the liver some rest and adjustment time.  5, eat more organic food. Organic food contains fewer pesticides, thus reducing the burden on the liver. In addition, eating meat such as free-range poultry can also help the recovery of fatty liver. Recommendation: Eat 500 grams of fresh green leafy vegetables every day.  6. Supplementation of important amino acids. amino acids such as N-acetylcysteine can protect liver function and prevent liver inflammation, which in turn can help improve the condition of fatty liver. Chicken can release cysteine during the cooking process.  7. Consume more protein. Protein supplementation can help improve liver function, but care should be taken: red meat should only be eaten once a week; don’t exceed 2 egg yolks a day; eat soy products with less oil often; and eat more chicken. The best sources of protein are fatty fish such as salmon and shrimp.
