subject: Diet For Fatty Liver - What's In A Diet For Liver Patients? [print this page] I've been a liver patient for fairly some time, but I was only diagnosed lately since throughout the past years, no symptoms such as nausea and abdominal pain truly showed that I had fatty liver disease. My nurse already advised that I ought to engage more in physical activities and focus on a diet especially for liver patients.
Because I had no clue on what diet to consider, my nurse told me to read an e-book entitled "Eliminating Hepatic Fat: The Fatty Liver Diet Guide and Factbook," which was written by yet another nurse, Dorothy Spencer. She informed me that the guide in the book could probably help because it was a special diet plan for liver patients.
Fatty liver disease, or hepatic steatosis, results from excessive fat build up in the liver. If untreated, this can result in liver cancer, cirrhosis, and eventually liver failure. Thus, a special diet plan for liver patients and regular exercise might enhance the condition of a liver patient.
After reading the book, I felt that I was able to learn much about the liver and fatty liver disease, which I think is essential for liver patients so that they are aware of what to steer clear of. I discovered the important vitamins and minerals needed in trying to cure fatty liver, which helped me get a comprehension on the advisable diet for liver patients. The diet plan for liver patients involves food with low fat content (no saturated fat), high fiber, and complex carbohydrates.
Chapter 11 was focused on planning one's daily and weekly diet. There were lots of recipes that could be utilized in a diet plan for liver patients. These recipes were extremely easy to follow, and also the weekly guides that were integrated in the book.
I felt far better after a while and when my lab results came out, they revealed positive improvements. I think that it must have been the special diet for liver patients that I followed.
