Dr. Shen Yonghua
Below are some dietary recommendations that can help support liver health:
1. High-quality protein: Such as shrimp, fish, lean meat, eggs, milk, and soy products. The protein in these foods can be more effectively utilized by the liver, helping to enhance immunity and promote liver cell repair.
2. Fresh fruits: Such as apples, oranges, bananas, and pears. These are rich in vitamins and minerals that help protect the liver and promote liver detoxification.
3. Leafy green vegetables and mushrooms: Such as broccoli, spinach, shiitake mushrooms, and black fungus. These contain abundant vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress and inflammation, thereby reducing the burden on the liver.
4. Whole grains: Such as oats, brown rice, and whole wheat bread. These are rich in fiber and help regulate blood sugar and cholesterol levels, thus reducing the burden on the liver.
5. Legumes and nuts: These contain healthy fats and proteins that provide essential nutrients required for liver repair.
In daily life, it is important to maintain a balanced diet, regular lifestyle, moderate exercise, and routine medical check-ups.
