Dr. Yang Ziqi
Patients with "small three positives" should focus on balanced nutrition and choose foods beneficial to the liver. Below are some recommendations:
1. High-protein foods: Such as liver, lean meat, fish, shrimp, poultry (chicken and duck), eggs, etc. These foods are rich in high-quality protein, which helps in liver repair and regeneration.
2. Grains and legumes: Such as glutinous rice, black rice, soybeans, and soy products. These foods not only provide necessary carbohydrates but also contain abundant vitamins and minerals.
3. Fresh vegetables and fruits: Such as daylily (golden needle), jujube (Chinese date), sesame seeds, hawthorn, etc. They are rich in vitamins and fiber, which help promote liver metabolism and detoxification function.
4. Seafood: Such as white ribbon fish, yellow croaker, silver fish, etc. These foods are rich in protein and trace elements, which can enhance immunity and promote liver health.
Patients with "small three positives" should avoid greasy, spicy, raw, and cold foods, quit alcohol and smoking, maintain a light diet, and avoid overeating.
