There are many different types of hepatitis and the most common type in China is viral hepatitis. Patients should usually limit foods high in calories, sugar and fats. Try to avoid spicy, stimulating, and foods with too many artificial spices or pickled or smoked foods. Foods such as fatty meat, beef brisket, egg yolk, garlic scapes, fennel, almonds and cashew nuts are recommended to be limited. Also stop smoking and drinking to avoid aggravating liver damage. It is important to note that diet is only one part of the treatment of the disease and the severity of the disease varies from patient to patient, so it is advisable to seek medical advice if you are unwell. Your doctor will be able to advise you on the appropriate treatment plan for your particular case and give you sound dietary advice.
