Almost all the nutrients needed by the human body come from food, so we have developed the habit of eating three meals a day. The good or bad choice of food, and whether the combination is reasonable, are directly related to the health of each organ.
Especially after a disease in a certain organ, in order to restore the disease as soon as possible, dietary adjustment is the most important nursing work.
For example, after a lesion of the liver, the patient should start with the diet adjustment. Because although the liver is not the main digestive and absorption organ, it is responsible for the transformation and integration of bile and some nutrients.
Therefore, at this stage, patients should not eat high-calorie, greasy, and indigestible foods, but adopt a light, balanced, low-fat diet.
At the same time, patients can also eat the following four types of food, which has a certain help for the recovery of the disease:
1. Foods containing high-quality protein
The liver is an important place for protein synthesis, and the albumin synthesized by the liver reaches about 11-14 grams per day.
When the liver has disease, the liver's ability to synthesize proteins will be reduced, and it is easy to develop hypoproteinemia and albumin deficiency, so patients can have progressive fatigue and fatigue, fatty liver and other problems.
Therefore, patients need to reasonably arrange protein intake, such as eggs, milk, fish, chicken and duck meat, etc., are good sources of protein;
2. Rhizome vegetables
Relevant studies have found that when the human body produces excess reactive oxygen species, free radicals and other substances, it will not only accelerate the speed of aging of the body, but also increase the metabolic burden of the liver.
Japanese researchers have found that the nutrients contained in rhizome foods can play a role in antioxidants and eliminate free radicals, reduce liver burden, and promote the recovery of liver disease, such as purple potatoes, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc., are good choices;
3. All kinds of fruits
It should be known that liver disease can affect the digestive function of patients after the appearance, and even lead to digestive and absorption disorders, and the patient's appetite will become worse and worse, and it is easy to have symptoms such as bloating, oil aversion, nausea and vomiting after meals.
Fruits are rich in dietary fiber, glucose, vitamins and minerals, which have the effect of increasing plasma albumin.
At the same time, the fruit acid contained in the fruit can also help digestion, and dietary fiber can promote the peristalsis of the intestine and improve appetite;
4. Whole grain food
The liver is originally an organ that synthesizes glycogen, when the liver is damaged, the process of converting lactic acid into glycogen in the body is relatively slow, and the function of storing sugar will also be affected, which may cause glucose metabolism disorders and increased blood sugar.
In order to maintain normal physical operation, liver disease patients can eat more whole grain foods, the fiber content of whole grains is extremely high, can reduce the body's low-density lipoprotein cholesterol content, blood sugar stability also has certain benefits.
Finally, we should remind everyone that the liver function is reduced, the first thing that affects is digestion and absorption, which is easy to cause absorption disorders.
Therefore, the dietary choice of patients with liver disease is to be based on light and balanced nutrition.
However, after all, the specific situation and severity of each patient are different, so it is not possible to generalize on food choices. How patients should eat, choose what food, or follow the doctor's advice and arrangements, do not blindly.
