Liver is one of the important organs in the human body. Once there is a problem with the liver, the body cannot detoxify, which can lead to many complications and even death. So how can alcohol-related liver disease patients prevent it in their daily lives?
1. Healthy diet
Patients with liver disease should consume a vegetarian diet, avoid greasy and heavy foods, and focus on a nutritious and easily digestible diet. It is recommended to have small, frequent meals and avoid raw, cold, sweet, spicy, and phlegm-producing foods. Salt can cause fluid retention, so individuals with alcohol-related liver disease should have a low-salt or no-salt diet. For those prone to bleeding, alcohol, tobacco, and spicy foods should be strictly avoided. Those with obvious signs of dampness and turbidity should especially avoid fatty and greasy foods. If there are mental disorders and unclear consciousness, meat consumption should be strictly controlled, and fresh liquid foods should be provided.
2. Quitting alcohol is key
Alcohol consumption can lead to various diseases, particularly liver damage, which is the fundamental cause of alcohol-related liver disease. Therefore, during the treatment process and after recovery, alcohol consumption must be completely prohibited. It is not uncommon in clinical practice to see cases where disease relapse or deterioration occurs due to the inability to quit drinking. Complete abstinence from alcohol can improve treatment outcomes, promote disease recovery, and prevent disease relapse, deterioration, or other complications.

3. Positive attitude
Emotional disorders can easily lead to liver and gallbladder diseases, so it is best to promote emotional smoothness and release. If emotions are not smooth and there is mental depression, it can disrupt the flow of qi and cause yin-yang imbalance, which can induce or worsen disease symptoms. Patients should be helped to overcome and eliminate anger, worry, doubt, sadness, fear, and other negative emotions, establish confidence in disease treatment, and promote disease recovery.
4. Ensure sufficient rest
Alcohol-related liver disease patients should pay attention to rest and maintain a regular daily routine with moderate physical activity. Depending on the different stages of the disease, the principle of balancing rest and activity should be followed. During the acute phase, the emphasis should be on rest and limited activity. During the stable phase, a balance of activity and rest should be maintained, with the ability to take care of oneself and have appropriate rest. During the recovery phase, the focus should be on gradual increase in physical activity, avoiding excessive fatigue and depletion of qi and blood.
5. Exercise regularly
Preventing alcohol-related liver disease requires regular exercise. Regular physical exercise can strengthen the body and reduce or prevent the occurrence of diseases. During the disease process, appropriate exercise methods should be chosen based on the urgency and severity of the condition and the individual's physical condition.
The factors that contribute to the death of alcohol-related liver disease patients are crucial. Experts remind us that alcohol-related liver disease is also quite harmful to the human body. Therefore, once diagnosed with alcohol-related liver disease, it is best to undergo standardized examinations and treatments and actively cooperate with medical professionals.
