1, control calorie intake
Fatty liver patients engaged in light activities to 30 kcal per kilogram of body weight per day, for obese or overweight patients to 20-25 kcal per kilogram of body weight per day, calorie control should be gradual, so as not to cause maladaptation, feeling hungry, or even hypoglycemic reaction.
2, appropriate increase in protein intake
Protein is conducive to the repair and regeneration of liver cells, many amino acids in protein such as methionine, cystine, tryptophan, threonine and so on, have anti-fatty liver function. The intake of protein is 1.5-1.8 grams per kilogram of body weight per day. Foods rich in high protein, such as lean meat, fish, rabbit meat.
3, reduce sugar intake
Fatty liver patients do not eat refined sugar, honey, jam, fruit juice, candied fruit and other sweets and sweet snacks. Because sugar in the body not only can be converted into fat, and will stimulate the body to synthesize fat. Controlling the intake of sugar is more meaningful than controlling the intake of fat.
4, control fat and cholesterol intake
Daily fat intake should not exceed 40 grams, cooking oil should be used vegetable oil. Vegetable oil does not contain cholesterol, and vegetable oil contains gluten and essential fatty acids beneficial to the treatment of fatty liver.
5, supplemental vitamins and minerals
Many vitamins and mineral salts are beneficial to the treatment of liver disease, such as vitamin E, vitamin C, vitamin B12, folic acid, potassium, magnesium, etc., has the effect of lowering blood lipids and preventing fatty liver. For example, foods that have the ability to lower serum and liver cholesterol levels include mushrooms, garlic, scallions, lentils, carrots and grapes.
6, the causes of fatty liver
One: long-term alcoholism alcohol is the first killer of liver damage. This is because after alcohol enters the body, mainly in the liver for decomposition and metabolism, the toxicity of alcohol on the liver cells so that the liver cells on the breakdown of fatty acids and metabolism of obstacles, caused by intrahepatic fat deposition and caused by fatty liver. The more alcohol you drink, the more serious the fatty liver will be, and can also induce liver fibrosis, and then cause cirrhosis.
Two: excessive nutrition long-term intake of excessive animal fats, vegetable oils, proteins and carbohydrates, these foods in the body can not be fully utilized, the excess nutrients will be converted to fat storage, resulting in obesity, high blood fat and fatty liver.
Three: malnutrition obese people are prone to fatty liver, but it does not mean that thin people will not get fatty liver. Clinical often found that some people are very thin but also suffers from fatty liver, this is due to long-term malnutrition, lack of protein and vitamins, can also cause nutritional deficiency fatty liver. For example, if you suffer from chronic intestinal diseases, long-term anorexia, diet, vegetarianism, malabsorption syndrome and gastrointestinal bypass surgery, resulting in hypoproteinemia, lack of choline, amino acids or lipotropic substances, which will cause the accumulation of intrahepatic fat, the formation of fatty liver.
Four: diabetes, hepatitis, hyperthyroidism, severe anemia and other chronic diseases diabetic patients due to insulin insufficiency, the body's use of glucose is reduced, in order to replenish energy, the body's fatty acids increased significantly, these fatty acids can not be fully utilized, it will make the liver fat synthesis hyperactive, which causes fatty liver. 60% of obese patients will occur in the diabetes mellitus, the rate of their occurrence of fatty liver is two times more than the rate of those who have no diabetes mellitus. Diabetics are 2 times more likely to develop fatty liver.
