When you have liver disease, an inappropriate diet and lifestyle will make the disease worse. Diet at this time plays a very important role in treatment. Eating must have a balance between ingredients such as sugar, fat, protein, vitamins and minerals.
In addition, rest, work regulation, and physical exercise appropriate to your health are also essential to help the disease recover quickly.
Quit smoking
Cigarette smoke contains many toxic substances that will 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 wine will enter the liver. Alcohol can cause the normal catalyst system of liver cells to be damaged, thus directly affecting liver cells, causing liver cell damage and “death”. People with acute or chronic hepatitis, even drinking a little alcohol, will cause the disease to change or worsen.
Avoid hormone and antibiotic abuse
Most drugs are harmful to the liver and kidneys, but 2/3 of these drugs are toxic. People with liver disease must use drugs properly under the exact guidance of a doctor.
Avoid overuse of supplements
A balanced and scientific diet is the basic condition to maintain health for the body. If the nutrition is not reasonable or overused, the liver function will become unbalanced, affecting health.
Avoid eating too many foods containing protein
For people with severe hepatitis, due to the swelling of the stomach lining, the villi in the small intestine become thick and short, the secretion of bile is unbalanced... causing respiratory and digestive functions to decrease. If you eat too much protein-rich foods such as eggs, soft-shelled turtles, lean meat, it will cause poor digestion, leading to bloating and flatulence.
Fatty meat
People with liver disease need to reduce fat and limit fried foods, but not abstain from fat. A study shows that eating a lot of fat along with reducing protein and carbohydrates increases the process of cirrhosis in people with hepatitis C.Meanwhile, another study has shown that lecithin is abundant in egg yolks and sesame beans of all kinds, containing many fatty acids and omega-3, which are essential for people with chronic liver disease, 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, eating too much can cause some infected areas in the body to develop, making the disease worse.
Modern medicine has proven that after absorbing a lot of protein and fat, the liver of a person with hepatitis will not be able to effectively complete its metabolic functions, such as decomposition, absorption... This will further increase 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 less or not eat it.
A balanced and scientific diet is the basic condition to maintain health for the body. If the nutrition is not reasonable or overused, the liver function will become unbalanced, affecting health.
Avoid foods high in copper (Cu)
Research shows that the amount of copper stored in the liver of people with liver disease is 5-10 times higher than that of normal people, and the copper content in the liver of people with cirrhosis due to bile is 60-80 times higher than that of normal people. High copper levels will destroy liver cells. Therefore, people with liver disease should eat less foods containing a lot of copper such as jellyfish, shrimp, snails, squid, etc.
Avoid irregular activities
“3 parts treatment, 7 parts nourishment” so getting enough sleep, proper nutrition, regular activities, daily morning exercise, working and resting properly are very important.
Avoid unpleasant moods
People with liver disease should know how to control anger, pessimism, anxiety... because if liver disease is left untreated for a long time, people with liver disease will worry, think randomly, and get angry easily. These things can easily damage the liver, causing stagnation of gas and bad substances in the liver.
Avoid spicy food
Spicy foods can easily cause the digestive system to become “hot”, causing imbalance in function. Therefore, you should avoid eating spicy foods.
