Specifically, we should eat according to the following six principles:
1. Food should be reasonably matched, and soft, rotten, delicious and digestible food should be eaten.
People with poor liver, especially patients with liver cirrhosis, are usually accompanied by loss of appetite, so we must maintain adequate nutrition, such as steaming, boiling, stewing, stewing, etc., eat less spicy and irritating foods, and eat more soft, delicious and digestible foods such as soup and porridge to maintain nutritional diversity.
2. Sufficient heat is very important.
Patients with poor liver, especially those with liver cirrhosis, should develop the habit of eating less and eating more, avoid not eating for a long time, ensure that the body can get enough energy, reduce the burden on the liver, and thus better reduce the harm to the body. While eating less and eating more meals, we must ensure the supply of about 50g carbohydrates, such as bread, steamed bread and noodles.
Take enough vitamins.
For people with poor liver and liver cirrhosis, it is very important to take enough B vitamins, which can not only promote digestion and protect the liver, but also effectively prevent fatty liver. At the same time, it is necessary to supplement sufficient vitamin C. Vitamin C can not only promote metabolism, but also protect the liver to varying degrees and have a certain impact on the absorption of vitamin K. Therefore, it is necessary to supplement foods rich in vitamin K.
4. Adequate protein
Adequate intake of protein is of great significance for protecting hepatocytes and repairing damaged hepatocytes. And for people with liver cirrhosis, we should also ensure adequate protein, mainly plant protein and dairy protein, such as eating more soy products, yogurt, cheese, fish and so on.
5. Strictly control the salt intake.
For people with poor liver or even liver cirrhosis, we should take a proper amount of sodium, and the intake of sodium should be maintained at about 3.5 grams, which is about 3.5 grams of salt. Because hyponatremia is a risk factor for hepatic encephalopathy. The intake of sodium salt should also be reduced, because the intake of sodium in patients with liver cirrhosis should not be too much.
Reduce alcohol consumption
Alcohol is not good for the liver, especially for people with liver cirrhosis, which has obvious stimulation and damage. Most of alcohol is metabolized in the liver. Therefore, for patients with liver cirrhosis, we should put an end to drinking and develop good eating habits.
For people with poor liver, they should also take enough minerals at ordinary times. Zinc and magnesium deficiency in patients with liver cirrhosis. It is suggested that patients should supplement zinc and magnesium in their daily diet. Our common foods are also rich in zinc, such as tofu, rice, cheese, animal offal and so on.
