How to treat fatty liver? Common treatments for fatty liver

Fatty liver literally means that the liver is affected by too much fat, which then causes disease. In fact, there are many causes of fatty liver, not just related to excessive fat accumulation. What is the best way to treat fatty liver? Can I just take western medicine?

1. General treatment

(1) Find out the cause and take targeted measures. For example, people who drink a lot of alcohol for a long time should quit drinking. People with overnutrition and obesity should strictly control their diet to restore their physical fitness to normal. Diabetics with fatty liver should actively and effectively control their blood sugar. Patients with fatty liver caused by malnutrition should increase their nutrition appropriately, especially protein and vitamin intake. In short, removing the cause is conducive to curing fatty liver.

(2) Adjust the dietary structure and promote a high-protein, high-vitamin, low-sugar, low-fat diet. Do not eat or eat less animal fat and sweets (including sugary drinks). Eat more vegetables, fruits, and foods rich in fiber, as well as high-protein lean meat, river fish, soy products, etc. Do not eat snacks or have extra meals before going to bed.

(3) Appropriate exercise can promote the consumption of body fat. Walking, sit-ups or exercise with fitness equipment are all very helpful.

(4) Selenium supplementation can make the activity of glutathione peroxidase in the liver reach normal levels, which plays a good role in nourishing and protecting the liver. Liver-nourishing tablets made with selenium malt powder and Schisandra chinensis as the main ingredients have the health function of immune regulation, have an auxiliary protective effect on chemical liver damage, and have the effects of nourishing, protecting and protecting the liver.

2. Drug treatment

So far, there is no effective drug for the prevention and treatment of fatty liver in Western medicine. Long-term conditioning treatment with Chinese medicine is better. Western medicine often uses drugs that protect liver cells, remove fat and antioxidants, such as vitamins B, C, E, lecithin, ursodeoxycholic acid, silymarin, inosine, coenzyme A, reduced glutathione, taurine, botulinum toxin orotate, galactopyranoside, and some lipid-lowering drugs.
