Nowadays, there are a wide variety of fruits on the market, which are juicy and delicious. Many friends with fatty liver say, the doctor told me to drink less drinks and eat less snacks, so I will use fruit instead.
So, is it really better to eat more fruits? How should patients with fatty liver eat fruits better?
Fresh fruits are not only rich in vitamin C, dietary fiber and minerals, but also contain a variety of beneficial active substances, such as flavonoids , etc. Fruits such as bananas also have a fullness, which can help reduce food. Apples, hawthorns, etc. also have the effect of reducing cholesterol , which is indeed beneficial to fatty liver, but the more you eat, the better.
First of all, if some fruits such as lychee and sugarcane are eaten more at once, they will cause blood sugar to rise rapidly. Patients with fatty liver usually have abnormal blood sugar metabolism, such as increased fasting blood sugar, or abnormal sugar tolerance, , etc. Frequently eating a large amount of fruits with high sugar content will further aggravate abnormal blood sugar metabolism, convert blood sugar into fat, deposit it into the liver, and increase the degree of fatty liver.
Secondly, using fruits as the staple food will lead to insufficient intake of protein , reducing apolipoprotein synthesis in the human body, and the inability to transfer fat in the liver, which will cause malnutritional fatty liver, which will aggravate fatty liver.
In addition, eating too much fruit will also lead to excessive secretion of gastric acid, resulting in symptoms of indigestion such as acid reflux and abdominal distension. Especially patients with gastrointestinal diseases such as gastroesophageal reflux , peptic ulcer , functional indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome, etc., are more likely to have the above symptoms.
(Daily diet for fatty liver)
Although fruit is a good thing, it should be stopped in moderation. Eat an appropriate amount of fruit every day, and the amount is generally controlled to about a small bowl. If there are patients with abnormal sugar tolerance, they can choose to eat low-sugar cucumbers, tomatoes, etc. instead of fruits.
