Many people say that it's nothing to have fatty liver for so many years, so does this mean that fatty liver is not harmful? That's a big mistake.
Fatty liver is not only a benign disease, but also a reversible disease. The pathological changes of fatty liver can be divided into: 1 Simple fatty liver: there is only steatosis of hepatocytes. 2. Steatohepatitis: refers to the inflammatory reaction of hepatocytes on the basis of steatosis of hepatocytes. 3. Fatty liver fibrosis: refers to fibrosis changes around hepatocytes. 4. Fatty liver cirrhosis: if liver fibrosis continues to develop, the lesion is fatty liver cirrhosis, which is the result of the gradual development of fatty liver disease to the late stage. After liver cirrhosis, it can lead to a series of diseases, such as ascites, varicose veins, massive gastrointestinal bleeding, and even life-threatening.
Generally, fatty liver is less likely to develop into liver cirrhosis in a short time. The degree of development depends on the cause of its onset and whether it has been effectively intervened. If the accumulation of fat in the liver continues to increase, the possibility of liver cirrhosis will also increase. Therefore, we must not take fatty liver lightly. However, patients need not worry too much. The prognosis of the vast majority of chronic fatty liver is good. If early diagnosis and treatment can prevent the further development of fatty liver, or even reverse it.
Dairy products: milk is rich in protein and inorganic salts, with high nutritional value and easy digestion and absorption;
Poultry and meat: lean meat and viscera provide rich high-quality protein. Animal liver is rich in iron, folic acid and vitamin B12. It is a good blood and liver nourishing food.
Aquatic products: all kinds of freshwater fish, shrimp and marine fish have similar nutritional value and less fat content than poultry meat. These advantages are better than poultry meat.
Bean products: bean products contain three rich proteins, can diversify the types of food, and the price is relatively cheap.
Fresh vegetables and fruits: it is an important source of vitamin C, with a high content of inorganic salts and cellulose. It is also an indispensable food for hepatitis patients. There should be enough vegetables every day.
Pure sugar food: in the past, it was advocated that hepatitis patients should eat more pure sugar, thinking that pure sugar has a protective effect on the liver. In fact, too much sugar will ferment and produce gas in the intestine, often affecting appetite. In addition, it can also increase blood lipids, accelerate the storage of fat in the liver and produce fatty liver. Therefore, it is better for patients with fatty liver to eat an appropriate amount.
1. Find out the cause and take targeted measures. If you drink a lot for a long time, you should stop drinking. People with excess nutrition and obesity should strictly control their diet to restore their physical fitness to normal. Diabetic patients with fatty liver should control blood sugar actively and effectively. Patients with dystrophic fatty liver should appropriately increase nutrition, especially protein and vitamin intake. In short, removing the etiology is conducive to the cure of fatty liver.
2. Adjust the diet structure and advocate a diet with high protein, high vitamins, low sugar and low fat. Do not eat or eat less animal fat and sweets (including sugary drinks). Eat more vegetables, fruits and foods rich in cellulose, as well as lean meat, river fish and bean products with high protein. Don't eat snacks and no meals before going to bed.
3. Appropriately increase exercise and promote fat consumption in the body. Running every day, at least 6 kilometers per hour, can achieve the effect of weight loss. Sit ups or exercise with fitness equipment are very beneficial.
4. Drug assisted treatment. Fatty liver is not terrible. If it is found early and treated actively, it can generally be cured without sequelae. It is worth pointing out that the prevention of fatty liver should start with children, especially the only child. They can give whatever they want and have less activities. Once they become "little fat", they may have fatty liver.
