(1) Advocate vegetarian food collocation and learn from each other's strengths. Vegetarian food is mostly fruits and vegetables, which belongs to alkaline food; Meat is meat, eggs and fish, which often makes the blood acidic. In order to keep the PH value of human blood at 7.4, meat and vegetables must be mixed together to keep the pH value in balance. Excessive meat, vascular fat deposition, hardening and brittleness, easy to suffer from high blood pressure, heart disease, fatty liver; Vegetarian diet can remove cholesterol deposits on blood vessel walls. The nutritional value of meat food and vegetarian food is different. The biggest feature of meat food is that it contains essential amino acids and high-quality protein. Protein, a vegetarian plant, contains incomplete essential amino acids except soybeans and bean products, and the quality of protein is also poor. In addition, animal food contains more calcium and phosphorus than plant food, which is easily absorbed by human body. Fish, liver and eggs contain vitamins A and D that are lacking in vegetarian food. However, vitamin C and carotene in vegetarian diet are often lacking, while crude fiber in vegetarian diet is very rich, which can promote intestinal peristalsis. Therefore, eating only vegetarian food can easily cause habitual constipation. It can be seen that both have their own advantages and disadvantages. Hepatitis patients should pay more attention to the combination of meat and vegetables, learn from each other's strengths and help them recover.

(2) The diet should not be too full, and it is forbidden to overeat. The liver is an important organ for metabolism and detoxification. After liver disease, liver cells need nutritious and high-quality food to provide heat energy, but the nutrition must be balanced. Overeating often leads to indigestion, which inevitably increases the burden of digestive organs and tissues such as stomach, intestine, liver, spleen and pancreas, and also increases the physiological load of the brain to control the gastrointestinal nervous system and appetite center. Patients with liver disease who have a full meal and habitual constipation are more likely to induce early cirrhosis. Because excess food becomes feces and stays in the intestine for a long time, harmful substances are produced and accumulated, and cannot be excreted in time. After being reabsorbed by the large intestine, it often exceeds the detoxification ability of the liver, prompting the liver to change from quantitative to qualitative and then harden. Excessive poisons can also penetrate the blood-brain barrier and damage the central nervous system. When the liver function is poor, it becomes one of the important factors to promote hepatic coma and hepatocerebral syndrome.

(3) Eat less greasy fried products According to the modern medical point of view, hepatitis patients eat more fatty foods such as greasy fried foods, which can weaken digestive function and easily lead to malabsorption and diarrhea; In addition, when excess fat is deposited in the liver, fatty liver will be formed, which will lead to persistent liver dysfunction. Eating greasy fried products as usual leads to a sharp increase in weight, obesity and many symptoms of qi deficiency and blood stasis; In addition, frying the broken fatty chain will produce carcinogenic chemicals, which will lead to cirrhosis and even transition to cancer. Therefore, the diet of hepatitis patients should be mainly plant food or light food, supplemented by animal food, and the source of heat energy is still mainly food that conforms to the characteristics of China people. Don't be greasy and fleshy for dinner, and eat less peanuts or high-protein hot pot food.

Second, the principle of liver disease diet:

1. Control calorie intake so as to oxidize and consume fat in liver cells. Obese people should gradually lose weight and reduce their weight to the standard weight range. 2. Limit the intake of fat and carbohydrates, and the intake of edible sugar should not be too much. 3. A high-protein diet can protect liver cells and promote their repair and regeneration. 4. Ensure the supply of fresh vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables, to meet the human body's demand for vitamins. 5. Limit salt, 6 grams per day is appropriate. 6. Drink plenty of water to promote metabolism and excretion of metabolic waste. 7. Foods rich in methionine, such as millet, sesame and spinach, can promote the synthesis of phospholipids in the body and assist the transformation of fat in liver cells. 8. Avoid spicy food.

In short, patients with liver disease should follow the principle of personalized diet according to their own priorities.
