As more and more people around us develop fatty liver, many people believe that fat is the liver's greatest enemy. In fact, whether you have fatty liver or not, fat is an essential nutrient for the liver. Without it, the liver cannot function properly.
Experts say, "Some patients, after being diagnosed with fatty liver, start eating only vegetables and fruits, which is a big misconception." Even if you have fatty liver, you don't have to completely say goodbye to meat. Wang Xingguo, a standing committee member of the Dalian Nutrition Society and chief physician in the Department of Nutrition at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University, told the Life Times reporter that to nourish and protect the liver, the daily diet should ideally be composed of 20% fat, 20% protein, and the remaining 60% carbohydrates, such as staple foods.
The liver needs fat, but that doesn't mean it needs excessive fat. Therefore, lean meats, low-fat milk, shrimp, and other low-fat foods are the best choices.
