I heard that eating snapper and blackfish has good healing effect on hepatitis patients, is it true? Although snapper meat is rich in protein, vitamins and trace elements, its high collagen content is neither easily digestible nor of high protein quality, and should not be eaten by those with indigestion, poor appetite and diarrhea. Acute, severe hepatitis, hepatitis cirrhosis active period often have the above symptoms, often eat snapper more will affect digestion. Blackfish is sweet and cold in nature and has the function of nourishing the spleen and benefiting the stomach, and also has a beneficial effect on edema, so it may be beneficial to patients with hepatitis and cirrhosis with edema and ascites. From the above, snapper and black fish for hepatitis patients are neither contraindicated, nor highly nutritious, miraculous products, the quality and quantity of protein contained in the two are general, there is no exact curative effect on hepatitis. The most important thing is that you have to be able to eat a lot of animal offal such as pig’s liver to make up for it. Animal offal contains high cholesterol, such as 1 kg of pig liver contains cholesterol up to 400 mg or more, a large amount of cholesterol intake is at least an increased burden on the liver has been damaged, serious can affect the patient’s digestion and absorption function, and even cause fat metabolism disorders. Therefore, elderly patients with hepatitis and hyperlipidemia should not eat more pig liver. Does eating “hairy foods” have an effect on hepatitis recovery? The term “hairy food” usually refers to a type of food that can stimulate an already quiescent disease to become an active disease. In patients with hepatitis, after liver function has returned to normal and hepatitis symptoms have disappeared, if they eat “hairy foods” regularly, liver function may become abnormal again and clinical symptoms of gastrointestinal or allergic reactions may occur. Therefore, we understand the concept of “hairy food”, mainly refers to some foods that have a harmful effect on the liver, such as alcohol; or due to individual quality, eating certain foods such as fish, shrimp, crab, etc., allergic reactions. The majority of the “hairy foods” are fishy, so it is best to avoid them during the process of taking Chinese medicine tonics. Is eating a lot of sugar good for hepatitis recovery? If you eat too much sugar, it will not only affect your appetite, but also ferment in your stomach and intestines, causing gastrointestinal distention. Because hepatitis patients are prone to damage to the pancreas, eating too much sugar can also increase blood sugar and even cause diabetes. Sugar can be converted into fat stored in the body, eating too much sugar, will accelerate the fat stored in the liver to form a fatty liver, so that the hepatitis is not healed. Hepatitis patients can eat more sugar as appropriate, in order not to affect the appetite, no significant weight gain shall prevail. Is it appropriate for hepatitis patients to eat animal oil or vegetable oil? What should I pay attention to? Hepatitis patients have reduced liver metabolic function due to liver damage, and animal oil is too greasy for frying. The use of vegetable oil should also pay attention to the following two points: do not consume spoiled and sour cooking oil, and do not cook at too high a temperature. Why is alcohol prohibited for hepatitis patients? It has been proven that alcohol itself is “hepatotoxic” and its direct effect on liver cells can cause alcoholic hepatitis. In patients with hepatitis, the liver parenchyma itself is damaged, liver function is reduced, and the activity of various enzymes required for alcohol metabolism is reduced, which affects the liver’s ability to detoxify alcohol. These can contribute to the prolongation of the course of hepatitis, aggravating the disease in mild cases and promoting the development of cirrhosis in severe cases.
