FATTY LIVER
It is the accumulation of fat in the liver, and it begins to lose its functional efficiency gradually.
Fatty liver is associated with other conditions, so the risk of developing it increases if a person:
• A patient with cholesterol or metabolism problems
• Suffers from excess weight or triglycerides
• A patient with high blood pressure
• Ovarian problems in women
• Problems with sleep apnea
• Diabetes of the second type
• Insufficiency of the pituitary or thyroid glands
Also, certain groups may suffer from fatty liver more than others, such as people who are usually obese in the abdominal area, and the age group over 50 years.
It is necessary to refer to the risk factors of the disease because its symptoms are most often silent, that is, almost asymptomatic. Therefore, in the event that a person is sick with any of the above, he should pay attention to that in periodic examinations.
The treatment of fatty liver lies in changing the patient’s lifestyle and diet to be healthier, especially losing weight. The following tips can be followed:
- Introducing fruits and vegetables to meals because they are rich in fibers.
- Reducing everything that contains sugars, salts, carbohydrates or saturated fats.
- Stay away from alcohol due to its negative effect on the liver
- Coffee is good to lower any abnormal enzymes in the liver
- Eat leafy greens such as spinach and others to protect the liver
- Eating fish such as salmon, sardines and tuna
- Whole grains, such as oats, are rich in beneficial fibers
- Nuts are useful for patients with liver and infections
- Consuming sunflower seeds, which are antioxidants
To seek medical advice, if you suffer from one of the aforementioned diseases, or for the doctor to help you in developing a suitable nutritional plan, or to request the necessary analyzes at your home, do not hesitate to contact Capital Home Health Care.
