5 types of vegetables that people with fatty liver should add to their menu

HƯƠNG SƠN (THEO TRANG XINHUA) |

Fatty liver is not only found in overweight people. A diet high in sugar, fat and energy can cause fat to accumulate in the liver.

Broccoli, carrots and spinach

Broccoli is a suitable choice in the menu. This vegetable is rich in fiber and antioxidants, can be processed by steaming or boiling to limit the amount of oil and fat put into the body. Xinhua includes broccoli in the group of vegetables that should be included in a diet rich in antioxidants and fiber.

Carrots can also be supplemented regularly. This is a root rich in vitamins and antioxidant compounds. Xinhua recommends carrots and some dark-colored vegetables in a diverse diet, prioritizing natural and fiber-rich foods.

Spinach is a green leafy vegetable that is easy to incorporate into daily meals. Increasing green vegetables helps supplement fiber without increasing your diet too much energy. Xinhua also ranks spinach along with broccoli and carrots as recommended vegetables in an anti-inflammatory diet.

Pumpkin and sweet potato

Pumpkin can be used in meals instead of a portion of refined starchy foods. Xinhua lists pumpkin with carrots, broccoli and spinach in the group of vegetables rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

Sweet potatoes are also a worthwhile choice. Boiled or steamed sweet potatoes can be used instead of a portion of rice, instead of processed with a lot of oil, sugar or fat. Xinhua includes sweet potatoes with carrots, pumpkins, broccoli and spinach in the group of foods rich in vitamins, micronutrients and fiber.

However, it should not be understood that just eating these vegetables can treat fatty liver. According to Xinhua, fatty liver control needs to start from controlling total calories, limiting high-fat and sugary foods, especially sugary and fructose-containing drinks, and increasing fiber and high-quality protein.

In addition to diet, patients also need to maintain a reasonable weight and exercise appropriately. Mild-stage fatty liver can often improve when lifestyle changes, but if liver function abnormalities have appeared or the disease is progressing, it is necessary to be assessed and monitored by a doctor.
