Diets For Fatty Liver Patients - Can FLD Be Cured Through Proper Diet And Exercise?
Diets for fatty liver patients are not without controversy. Whenever human health is at stake, there will always be differing opinions about what the best diet is to treat a particular ailment. However, few medical professionals will argue against diet and exercise as the best way to combat fatty liver disease (FLD) and reduce a fatty liver.
Sure, alternative treatments do exist that are shadowed in scrutiny every single day. Just a few that come to mind are milk thistle, Epsom salts, vitamin C and E treatments, and a host of different drugs including things like orlistat, metformin, and pravastatin. Although a few of these treatments have gained popularity recently, many still need further testing. Some help liver health and function, but can be harmful to other areas of the body.
A diet for fatty liver, on the other hand, is generally good for both the liver and the rest of the body. In fact, a diet for reducing fat in your liver is not much different from a healthy diet for the average person.
Since fatty liver is often associated with obesity, an exercise program is also recommended to lose fat and reduce weight gradually. Rapid fat loss only serves to shock the system into increasing production of fatty acids which then accumulate in the liver. Losing around 2lbs a week is generally an acceptable range for most FLD patients.
With that being said, is there a cure for fatty liver disease? The answer is, "No." The condition isn't like a scratch or scrape that heals and goes away. However, it can be controlled, regulated, slowed, and even reversed and improved in some cases.
Since it's often considered a silent or asymptomatic disease, you can go on living a healthy, symptom free life if you catch it early. Of course this is a two-edged sword since being asymptomatic can make the condition difficult to diagnose and by the time it is recognized it may have already progressed into something worse such as cirrhosis, non alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), or liver cancer. Regular checkups can alert your physician to any potential problems that need a closer examination.
A diet for reducing a fatty liver generally focuses on high fiber and complex carbohydrate foods while reducing fatty food consumption. Saturated fats are particularly bad and should be avoided in favor of unsaturated fats whenever possible.
Meats should have the skin removed and any excess fat trimmed off before cooking and eating. Alcohol consumption should be avoided. Fruits and vegetables are extremely liver friendly and should be consumed in generous portions daily.
