The formation of fatty liver is closely related to diet and lifestyle habits, so preventing fatty liver should pay attention to developing good lifestyle habits.
The most important thing is to control alcohol consumption. 90%-95% of alcohol is metabolized by the liver. Generally, it metabolizes 60-200 milligrams of alcohol per kilogram of body weight per hour, and it takes 3-10 hours for the body to clear all alcohol. Drinking alcohol regularly puts too much burden on the liver and can harm the body, especially the liver, even if daily alcohol intake does not exceed the limit. Therefore, alcohol consumption should not only be reduced, but also diluted. The amount of alcohol consumed (how much and how often) determines the risk and severity of liver damage. Men who have been drinking for several years can cause liver damage with a daily alcohol intake of 56 grams of pure alcohol (560 grams of wine, 1120 grams of beer, or 168 grams of whiskey). Nevertheless, the amount of alcohol that causes liver damage still needs to consider individual differences.
One thing to note is that people often want to have a cup of tea after a full meal, which is not conducive to the prevention of fatty liver. Do not immediately drink tea after eating meat. Tea contains a large amount of tannic acid, which can combine with proteins to form astringent target proteins. This protein can slow down intestinal peristalsis, easily cause constipation, and increase the toxic effect of harmful substances on the liver, leading to fatty liver.
In addition, it is necessary to have regular and moderate eating, especially to control the intake at dinner, which should account for about 30% of the total daily intake. Nutrition should be balanced, food arrangements should be diversified, preferably with grains as the main component. Eat more vegetables, fruits, dairy products, and soy products. Eat a moderate amount of fish, poultry, eggs, and lean meat, and consume less fatty meat and animal fats. The amount of food intake should be balanced with physical activity, maintain regular bowel movements, and maintain a suitable weight. Persist in physical labor and reasonable exercise, increase the decomposition and consumption of liver fat, reduce fat content, and promote the reversal of fatty liver and improve liver function. If blood lipid and blood sugar levels are high, medication should be used to control hyperlipidemia and diabetes.
