What should you pay attention to in your liver disease diet?

1. Liver disease diet considerations

(1) Advocating the combination of vegetarian and vegetarian, long-term supplements are mostly fruits and vegetables, which are alkaline foods; foraging meat, eggs and fish, the blood is often acidic. The pH of human blood should be kept at 7.4, and it must be combined with a nutrient to make the pH easy to maintain balance. More food intake, vascular fat deposition, hard and brittle, prone to high blood pressure, heart disease, fatty liver; vegetarian diet can remove cholesterol deposition in the blood vessel wall. The nutritional value of foraging and vegetarian food has its own advantages. The most important feature of foraging is that it contains essential amino acids and high-quality protein. The vegetable protein in vegetarian diet is not complete except for soybeans and soy products. The quality is also poor. In addition, animal foods are richer in calcium and phosphorus than plant foods, and are easily absorbed by the body. Fish, liver, and eggs contain vitamins A and D that are lacking in vegetarian diets. Vitamin C and carotene in vegetarian diets are often used for food. Lack of crude cellulose in vegetarian diet is very rich, can promote bowel movements, therefore, eating only foraging is easy to cause habitual constipation. It can be seen that the two have their own strengths and each has its own shortcomings. Hepatitis patients should pay more attention to eating and collocation, and learn from each other's strengths to help them recover.



(2) diet should not be too full, avoid overeating the liver is an important metabolic and detoxification organ of the human body. After liver disease metabolism and repair, liver cells need to have nutrients and high quality food to provide heat, but nutrition must be balanced, excessive diet often causes Indigestion will inevitably increase the burden on the digestive organs and tissues such as the stomach, intestines, liver, spleen and pancreas, and also increase the physiological load of the brain to control the gastrointestinal nervous system and the appetite center. Patients with liver disease who have regular meals and habitual constipation are more likely to induce early cirrhosis. Because the excess food becomes fecal, the residence time in the intestine is prolonged, and the harmful substances are produced more and not accumulated in time. After being reabsorbed by the large intestine, it often exceeds the detoxification ability of the liver, prompting the liver to change from quantitative to qualitative and then hard. change. Excess poison can also pass through the blood-brain barrier and damage the central nervous system. When the liver is dysfunctional, it becomes one of the important factors that promote hepatic coma and hepatic and brain syndrome.

(3) Eat less greasy frying products According to the modern medical point of view, hepatitis patients eat high-fat foods such as greasy frying, which can cause digestive function to weaken and easily cause malabsorption of steatorrhea; in addition, excess fat is deposited in the liver. The formation of fatty liver can cause liver function dysfunction to be delayed. If you eat greasy fried products in the regular period, the weight will increase sharply, obesity will occur, and there will be symptoms of qi deficiency and stagnation; plus the fatty chain broken by frying can produce carcinogenic chemicals, leading to cirrhosis and even transition to cancer. Therefore, hepatitis patients should maintain a diet based on plant food or light diet, supplemented by animal food, and the source of heat energy is still based on the characteristics of Chinese people. Avoid more oily and fleshy at dinner, and eat less peanuts or high-protein hot pot food.

2. The principle of liver disease diet:

• Control calorie intake to oxidize the fat in the liver cells. Obese people should gradually lose weight and reduce their weight to the standard weight range.
• Limit the intake of fats and carbohydrates, and the intake of sugar should not be too much.
• High protein diet, high protein can protect liver cells and promote liver cell repair and regeneration.
• Ensure the supply of fresh vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables, to meet the body's need for vitamins.
• Limit salt, 6 grams per day is appropriate.
• Drink plenty of water to promote the metabolism of the body and the excretion of metabolic waste.
• Foods rich in methylthio amino acids, such as millet, sesame, spinach and other foods can promote the synthesis of phospholipids in the body and assist in the transformation of fat in liver cells.
• Avoid spicy and irritating foods.

In short, patients with liver disease should follow the principle of individualized diet according to their own priorities. For example, patients with cirrhosis, the diet is mainly soft, cool, digestible foods, such as taro, noodles, noodles, egg soup, ham, etc., to prevent eating too hard, overheated food, to prevent getting angry, constipation, to prevent eating fried food Strong foods (such as pancakes, radishes, etc.) and barbed foods (such as squid, squid, grass carp, etc.), because thorny foods are likely to scratch the patient's varicose fundus and esophageal veins, causing gastrointestinal bleeding. Patients with cirrhosis should avoid eating high-protein foods in a short period of time to prevent a sharp increase in blood ammonia concentration, resulting in hepatic coma. In addition to the above matters, patients with esophageal or gastric varices should avoid eating hard, coarse fiber, frying and spicy foods that are not easily digestible. Eating should not be too fast. Keep the stool smooth, not too much force to prevent variceal bleeding. Patients with advanced cirrhosis should also pay attention to controlling a high-protein diet to prevent hepatic encephalopathy.
