When suffering from liver disease, inappropriate diet and lifestyle can worsen the condition. Diet plays a crucial role in treatment at this time. A balanced diet is essential, including carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals.
In addition, rest, work-life balance, and appropriate exercise are also essential for a speedy recovery.
Abstain from smoking.
Cigarette smoke contains many harmful substances that damage liver function, inhibit liver cell regeneration and recovery, so people with hepatitis must quit smoking.
Abstain from alcohol.
Up to 90% of the alcohol in alcoholic beverages goes to the liver. Alcohol can disrupt the normal catalytic system of liver cells, thus directly affecting liver cells, causing them to be damaged and "die." For people with acute or chronic hepatitis, even drinking small amounts of alcohol can worsen or alter their condition.
Avoid overuse of hormones and antibiotics.
Most medications are harmful to the liver and kidneys, but two-thirds of these are toxic. People with liver disease must use medication appropriately under the precise guidance of a doctor.
Avoid overusing nutritional supplements.
A balanced and healthy diet is fundamental to maintaining good health. Improper or excessive supplementation can disrupt liver function and negatively impact overall health.
Avoid eating too much protein-rich food.
For people with severe hepatitis, due to swelling of the gastric mucosa, thickening and shortening of the villi in the small intestine, and imbalance in bile secretion, respiratory and digestive functions are impaired. Eating too much protein-rich food such as eggs, turtle, and lean meat can cause poor digestion, leading to bloating and abdominal distension.
Fatty meat
Patients with liver disease need to reduce their fat intake and limit fried foods, but not completely eliminate fat from their diet. One study showed that a high-fat diet combined with reduced protein and carbohydrates increased the progression of cirrhosis in people with hepatitis C.Meanwhile, another study showed that lecithin, found abundantly in egg yolks and various types of beans and sesame seeds, contains many omega-3 fatty acids that are essential for people with chronic liver diseases, including hepatitis A, B, and C.
Goat meat
People with hepatitis should avoid eating goat meat. The reason is that goat meat is sweet and hot in nature, and eating too much can cause infected areas in the body to develop, worsening the disease.
Modern medicine has shown that after absorbing large amounts of protein and fat, the liver of a person with hepatitis cannot effectively perform its metabolic functions, such as breakdown and absorption. This further increases the burden on the liver, leading to a worsening of the disease. Goat meat is a food rich in protein and fat, so people with hepatitis should eat it sparingly or avoid it altogether.
A balanced and healthy diet is fundamental to maintaining good health. Improper or excessive supplementation can disrupt liver function and negatively impact overall health.
Avoid foods high in copper (Cu).
Studies show that the amount of copper stored in the liver of people with liver disease is 5-10 times higher than in healthy individuals, and the copper content in the liver of people with biliary cirrhosis is 60-80 times higher than in normal individuals. High levels of copper can damage liver cells. Therefore, people with liver disease should eat less of foods high in copper such as jellyfish, shrimp, snails, and squid.
Avoid irregular lifestyles.
"Three parts treatment, seven parts nourishment," therefore, getting enough sleep, having a balanced diet, maintaining a regular lifestyle, consistently exercising in the morning, and balancing work and rest are all very important.
Avoid feeling uncomfortable.
People with liver disease should learn to control anger, pessimism, anxiety, etc., because if left untreated for a long time, they will worry, overthink, and become easily angered, all of which can easily damage the liver, causing stagnation of energy and accumulation of harmful substances in the liver.
Avoid spicy food.
Spicy foods can easily cause the digestive system to become "heated," disrupting its function. Therefore, it's best to avoid eating spicy foods.
