In recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards, there are more and more "chubby dun" in society, and the prevalence of "fatty liver" in children is also getting higher and higher. It is understood that "fatty liver" in children generally refers to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in children, which is defined as chronic steatosis of the liver in children and adolescents under the age of 18, accumulating at least 5% of liver cells, and in addition to the clinicopathological syndrome of chronic fatty deposition in the liver caused by alcohol consumption and other clear phenogens.
So how to prevent and regulate children's "fatty liver"?In fact, fatty liver in children can be treated through good eating habits, strengthening physical exercise, etc.
Practice good eating habits
To help children develop and establish healthy eating habits, first pay attention to the ratio and supplementation of dietary components. Avoid high-fat, high-sugar diets, limit the intake of saturated fatty acids, trans fatty acids, fructose-rich fruit juices and beverages, and increase the amount of viscous fiber and phytosterols (fats) in food.
Special care should be taken not to eat the following taboo foods: fatty meat, goose meat, duck eggs, egg yolks, animal offal, some seafood, etc. These foods contain a lot of cholesterol and fat, and if you eat too much, it will aggravate the symptoms and be detrimental to the patient's body**. Fatty meat contains a lot of animal fat, containing 90 per 100 grams of pork fat8 grams of fat. Goose meat belongs to hair, and fatty liver patients are generally damp and hot, and the fat content of goose meat is as high as 112%, the disease will be aggravated after eating goose meat. Duck eggs are high-fat, high-cholesterol foods, containing 14 fat per 100 grams7 grams, the cholesterol content is 634 mg, especially the cholesterol content of the egg yolk is 1522 mg, so fatty liver patients should not eat too many duck eggs. Patients with fatty liver disease should not eat too much of animal organs, such as liver, kidneys and brain. Although seafood is rich in protein, it is also relatively high in cholesterol, so shrimp and crab, squid, anchovies and other foods should not be eaten too much.
Cultivate children's long-term regular exercise habits
Obesity is an independent risk factor for fatty liver disease in children, and dietary factors are the main causes of fatty liver disease. The qi, blood, and fluid required for the physiological activities of the body's five internal organs, six internal organs, and limbs are all metamorphosed by normal and reasonable diet and five flavors. Excessive eating of fat and sweet taste, hindering the spleen and stomach transport, losing the spleen and health, the subtlety of the water valley can not be transformed into health qi and blood, but instead dampness and phlegm, but into phlegm turbidity cream; Phlegm is turbid, spilling into the skin is obesity, and accumulation in the liver is fatty liver, which is the disease.
Therefore, children should develop good exercise habits, reduce the activity time of static exercise, and increase aerobic exercise that consumes energy and is easy to adhere to, such as skipping rope, swimming, playing ball, jogging, brisk walking, going up and down stairs, cycling, mountaineering, etc.; It can also be combined with strength exercise and flexibility training, insisting on 30-60min of moderate-intensity exercise every day, at least five times a week; Do more outdoor activities to eliminate excess body fat, effectively reduce the burden on the liver, so that the liver can rest well.
Fan Tao suggested that parents should urge their children to eat healthily, exercise appropriately, pay attention to their children's liver health, stay away from obesity, and stay away from children's "fatty liver".
