as a liver disease caused by fat accumulation, "fatty liver" appears more and more frequently in physical examination reports.in order to reverse it, many people start with dietary restrictions, but ignore the impact of meal time.a new study finds that fasting for 14 hours a day can improve fatty liver disease.zhang tao, deputy chief physician of the department of hepatology, the first affiliated hospital of hunan university of chinese medicinexu rong, deputy chief nurse of the second xiangya hospital of central south universityfasting for 14 hours a day can improvefatty liver
recently, the international authoritative journal "cell metabolism" published a latest research in my country, which found that fasting for 14 hours a day can effectively improve the symptoms of fatty liver.peking university third hospitalprofessor pang yanli's team from the department of obstetrics and gynecology conducted a clinical intervention study on patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.participants randomly ate from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. every day (eating for 10 hours).fasting from 5pm to 7am the next day(fasting for 14 hours).
the results showed that fasting for 14 hours a day for 4 weeks can improve liver damage indicators, reduce fatty liver degeneration index, triglyceride levels, etc., and increase the diversity of intestinal flora.
researchers said that fasting for 14 hours a day is not difficult to implement and patients with fatty liver can try it.some "starvation methods" may lead to fatty liver
a vivid explanation for fatty liver is that the liver is too "oily". as fat continues to accumulate, the liver's texture changes from flexible to brittle.because of this, many people regulate fatty liver by controlling their diet, but they choose the wrong "starvation method":dietary control can indeed improve non-alcoholic fatty liver disease by reducing current calorie intake by 500 to 1000 kcal/day, but dieting is not recommended because too low calories will aggravate the development of fatty liver.for example, when dieting to lose weight, malnutrition causes the body to lack protein and be unable to form enough apolipoproteins, resulting in fat being unable to be transported out of the liver, leading to fatty liver.only eat vegetarian food and no meat
eating only a vegetarian diet can lead to malnutrition-induced fatty liver or high-calorie fatty liver.being a vegetarian will lead to uneven nutritional intake, and the body will lack the amino acids necessary for synthesizing apolipoproteins, which will affect the lipid metabolism of the liver, causing a large amount of fat to accumulate in the liver and form fatty liver.in addition, vegetarians are more likely to feel hungry, so their digestive system will stimulate the body to eat more white rice, bread, biscuits and other foods to increase the feeling of fullness.although carbohydrates are not meat, they contain a lot of calories. once the intake exceeds the daily needs of the human body, it will turn into a large amount of glucose, and the liver cells will convert it into fat and store it in the liver, causing fatty liver.people with fatty liver: eat a good breakfast and early dinner
to prevent or reverse fatty liver, in addition to eating dinner early, you should also pay attention to breakfast.as an important meal in the diet, breakfast can directly or indirectly affect metabolism. most people who do not eat breakfast tend to have a strong appetite at noon or in the evening, resulting in excess nutrients, and the excess calories are converted into fat after falling asleep.in addition, the liver secretes bile and stores it in the gallbladder, waiting to digest food the next morning. without the stimulation of breakfast, bile accumulates in the gallbladder and cannot be discharged. over time, it will condense into gallstones, which will damage the gallbladder and liver, especially for patients with liver damage, which can further aggravate the disease.in terms of diet, patients with fatty liver are recommended to choose the mediterranean diet, which has been proven to prevent and treat obesity, type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, cardiovascular disease and cancer. its characteristics are as follows:1.foods are primarily based on plant foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts;2.compared to animal oils, cooking oils are centered around olive oil;3.use vegetable seasonings and spices instead of salt when cooking;4.limit the amount of red meat, such as pork, beef, and lamb;5.eat fish and poultry, such as chicken, duck, goose, etc., at least twice a week.it is important to remind you that while eating well, you should also stay up late less and exercise more to promote the consumption of body fat. ▲editor of this issue: zhang yu
