In recent years, the total number of patients with fatty liver has far exceeded that of viral hepatitis, and even children suffer from it.
In fact, fatty liver is not necessarily the patent of fat people, and if fatty liver is found in a physical examination, it does not have to be **.
What is fatty liver?
Fatty liver, as the name suggests, refers to a lesion that causes excessive fat accumulation in liver cells due to various reasons. However, it is a common idea to think that "fatty liver is equal to too much fat intake".
In fact, the term fatty liver is used to describe the pathological state of liver tissue, and the full name is hepatocyte steatosis. Fatty liver is not necessarily caused by excessive fat intake, but the accumulation of fat in the liver is the main cause of fatty liver. Hepatocytes are the key sites of fat metabolism, and any problem in any link may promote the accumulation of fat in hepatocytes and lead to fatty liver.
So do you have to ** if you have fatty liver?
The answer is no, we must first understand what is the cause of fatty liver before making a decision.
Why do you get fatty liver?
Poor eating Xi.
With the acceleration of the pace of life and the improvement of living conditions, many people have developed poor dietary Xi habits, such as overeating, frequent snacks, like to eat sweets or meat, often eating supper, etc., these dietary Xi habits will increase the incidence of many diseases, when the fat content exceeds the metabolic capacity of the liver, it will lead to the appearance of fatty liver.
A sedentary lifestyle.
The occurrence of fatty liver is also related to the lack of exercise, after all, the excess calories in the body can be consumed through physical activity, so the vast majority of fatty liver patients have a sedentary Xi. Therefore, if you want to prevent fatty liver, you need to change your sedentary lifestyle and exercise for at least 30 minutes a day and at least 5 times a week.
Frequent heavy alcohol consumption.
The first reaction of people who often socialize after being diagnosed with fatty liver may be to eat lighter in the future, but in fact, the biggest problem is not "eating", but "drinking".
After drinking, alcohol enters the liver for degradation, about 95% of alcohol needs to be metabolized by the liver, if the amount of alcohol ingested exceeds the liver's metabolic capacity, it will cause alcoholic fatty liver disease, commonly known as "alcoholic liver".
A large number of products decomposed by alcohol are obviously toxic to liver cells, which can lead to abnormal liver function, alcoholic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, etc., and the risk of liver cancer is also significantly higher than that of ordinary people.
Therefore, for people who drink a lot of alcohol and have fatty liver, abstaining from alcohol is the most necessary.
Abuse of drugs and hormones.
Most drugs are metabolized through the kidneys and liver, and if the drug is abused, it may cause acute or chronic liver damage, resulting in a continuous decrease in liver cells, and eventually fatty liver.
In addition, the indiscriminate use of hormones will also increase the incidence of fatty liver, such as long-term use of corticosteroids, which will lead to obesity and fatty liver.
If you have to use these drugs for a long time, you need to regularly review your liver function under the advice of your doctor, and if there is any abnormality, you should adjust the medication regimen according to the doctor's instructions in time.
Excessive dieting** and chronic malnutrition.
The liver is not only a place for synthesizing and breaking down fats, but also has a reserve function. If you over-diet**, the liver will think that the human body has entered a state of "famine" when it encounters "hunger", and it will start "wartime mobilization", which will store a large amount of fat and reduce the decomposition and transportation of fat, which will also lead to a large amount of fat accumulation in the liver and lead to fatty liver.
Do you have to have fatty liver?
If fatty liver is found in the physical examination, it is not advisable to blindly diet. First of all, the cause should be investigated, and if it is caused by other diseases, the primary disease should be diagnosed in time.
Statistics show that 90% of fatty liver patients are in the stage of simple fatty liver disease. For such ordinary fatty liver patients, early fatty liver can be reversed, and patients can start from both exercise and diet.
Do the following two things:
In terms of exercise, patients with fatty liver should exercise at least three times a week, which can effectively inhibit liver damage and vascular endothelial cell damage caused by insulin resistance.
In terms of diet, patients with fatty liver should eat small and frequent meals, adjust their diet, eat less or try not to eat sugary and sugary products, refined grains, fried foods and other foods, and control alcohol intake. Healthy Wintering Program
