Eat tomatoes to stay away from fatty liver
There are many people with fatty liver. Statistics from major outpatient clinics show that more than 70% of white-collar workers have fatty liver to varying degrees. Liver disease experts pointed out that patients with moderate and mild fatty liver can heal themselves quickly without drug treatment as long as they adjust their diet reasonably and participate in exercise properly. Health experts recommend you to eat tomatoes correctly and stay away from fatty liver.
Of course, tomatoes are not eaten as soon as you want, and there is still stress on preventing fatty liver from eating tomatoes.
The following four taboos for eating tomatoes must be remembered:
1. Avoid eating immature tomatoes.
Immature tomatoes contain a lot of "tomatine", which will be poisoned if eaten too much. The symptoms of poisoning are nausea, vomiting, salivation, general weakness and fatigue, and even life-threatening in severe cases. Peng, deputy director of Baekje Xinte Pharmacy, said that this toxic "alkaloid" of tomatoes will gradually decrease as the skin color of tomatoes matures and turns red, and disappear in red tomatoes. Therefore, green immature tomatoes must not be tasted.
2. Avoid eating tomatoes on an empty stomach.
Tomatoes contain a lot of pectin and persimmon gum phenol, which is a soluble astringent. These substances easily react with gastric acid, and then form insoluble masses, which increase the tension in the stomach and cause abdominal pain, vomiting and even shock. Peng Wenxin, deputy director of Baekje Xinte Pharmacy, reminded that tomatoes should not be eaten on an empty stomach.
3. Tomatoes should be heated and cooked, not for too long.
If the food is heated for too long or cooked repeatedly, vitamins will be destroyed in large quantities and lose their nutritional value.
4. Raw tomatoes and cucumbers should not be eaten at the same time.
Tomato is a kind of fruit and vegetable food rich in vitamins. Every100g of tomato contains 550mg of carotene, 0.03mg of thiamine and riboflavin,10.6mg of nicotinic acid, 0.57mg of vitamin E and 92mg of vitamin A. Cucumber has vitamin C decomposing enzymes, which can destroy vitamin C in tomato and reduce other nutrients. Therefore, Deputy Director Peng of Baekje Xinte Pharmacy believes that tomatoes should not be eaten raw with cucumbers.
Fatty liver diet
First of all, ensure high protein intake:
High protein can provide anti-fatty liver factors such as choline, methionine, cystine, tryptophan, threonine, lysine, etc., increase the synthesis of apolipoprotein, facilitate the smooth transport of lipids out of the liver, relieve fatty liver, and facilitate the recovery and regeneration of liver cell function.
Second, limit the intake of saturated fatty acids:
Vegetable oil contains no cholesterol, and the sitosterol, stigmasterol and essential fatty acids contained in it have good degreasing effect, which is of great benefit to treatment. Therefore, vegetable fat should be the main food, and the intake of unsaturated fatty acids (such as olive oil and tea oil) should be as much as possible, while the intake of saturated fatty acids (such as lard, butter, butter and cream) should be restricted. Cholesterol intake should also be limited to 300 mg. Foods rich in cholesterol include animal viscera, roe, shrimp, egg yolk and so on.
Third, reduce sugar and sweets:
Many white-collar workers like to drink sweet drinks such as cola, but studies in many countries in Europe and America show that high fructose intake has become a hidden concern for liver health. The metabolic process of fructose in beverages in human body is not controlled by phosphofructokinase, and it can be converted into more glycerol needed to synthesize fat. When the intake is large, fructose becomes the raw material for synthesizing fat.
Studies have shown that fructose can reduce the sensitivity of insulin and the ability to deal with fat in human body, and at the same time make the fat in liver produce peroxidation, causing cell death, liver fibrosis and other diseases. Therefore, excessive intake of sweet drinks can easily become the culprit of fatty liver in young people.
Fourth, eat more dietary fiber food:
Patients with fatty liver should not be too careful in diet. The staple food should be mixed with coarse grains, and eat more vegetables, fruits and bacteria to ensure adequate dietary fiber intake. Foods rich in dietary fiber include coarse flour, brown rice, hard fruit, beans, mushrooms, kelp, fungus, pears and so on. It is recommended to consume 500g to 750g of vegetables every day.
Multivitamins can protect liver cells and prevent toxins from damaging liver cells. Among them, B vitamins and vitamin E participate in liver fat metabolism and have protective effects on liver cells. Vitamins A and D and carotene can prevent liver fibrosis.
Low-intensity dynamic exercise of the whole body aimed at physical strength and endurance, that is, aerobic exercise, such as jogging, jogging (115-125/min), cycling, climbing stairs, playing badminton, kicking shuttlecock, patting the ball, dancing, broadcasting gymnastics, skipping rope, swimming, etc.
