During the Spring Festival, it is inevitable to have a gourmet feast, and meat is the highlight of the Spring Festival table. Can people with hepatitis eat meat? And how should we eat meat?
Under what circumstances should hepatitis patients not eat meat?
When acute hepatitis and chronic hepatitis are often accompanied by obvious digestive symptoms, doctors will recommend a light diet, because at this stage, the patient's digestive function is reduced, and eating a greasy diet will not only be beneficial, but will also aggravate nausea and vomiting symptoms. So it is right not to eat greasy and eat less meat at this stage.
However, for patients with chronic hepatitis, during the period of stable liver function or although there is mild abnormality of liver function but no obvious digestive symptoms, they can eat a normal diet and eat meat. If you don't eat meat for a long time, it may lead to protein deficiency and malnutrition, which is not conducive to liver disease.
What kind of meat should people with chronic hepatitis eat?
People with chronic hepatitis can eat meat, but not all meat is suitable. Patients with chronic liver disease should limit their intake of "fat", or fat. The reason is that hepatitis patients have poor ability to metabolize lipids, and excessive fat intake is easy to increase the burden on the liver, which can also easily lead to the formation of fatty liver.
Patients with liver disease are more suitable for eating meat with lower fat content, which can be divided into three categories according to its color:
Bright red or dark red color: such as pork, beef, lamb, etc., also commonly known as red meat.
Tender and white meat: such as chicken, duck, goose, rabbit and fish, etc., commonly known as white meat.
Almost colorless: mainly aquatic shellfish: clam meat, oysters, crab meat, etc., called colorless meat.
White and colorless meats are more suitable for providing low-fat, high-quality protein because they are lower in fat.
How can I improve my greasy meat?
Eat more fruits. After eating greasy food, you can eat some fruits appropriately, which can not only help digestion and relieve oiliness, but also play a good role in moistening the intestines and laxative.

Apples: Apples are rich in pectin, cellulose, vitamin C, etc., and have a very good lipid-lowering effect. Helps eliminate excess sodium salts.
Eat hawthorn pills. Hawthorn can help us digest quickly, can promote intestinal peristalsis, and can also increase pepsin activity, the lipase contained in it can promote fat decomposition, play a role in eliminating food accumulation, help digestion, in the digestion of meat is particularly significant, it also has the effect of lowering blood lipids and blood pressure, to prevent cardiovascular disease and strengthen the heart is particularly beneficial.
Drink sour plum juice. The most important effect of sour plum soup is to relieve oiliness. The main raw materials in sour plum soup, black plum and hawthorn, can effectively relieve excess oiliness in the human body, and tangerine peel can also effectively inhibit the conversion of remaining sugars into fat.
