According to Rao Hue Anh, Director of the Institute for Liver Disease Research, Peking University People's Hospital, China, a reasonable diet, weight control and reduced amount of fat in the diet are important factors in preventing and controlling fatty liver. She also warned that fatty liver can occur even in non-overweight people if there is visceral fat accumulation.
Salmon is one of the fish rich in DHA and EPA. Salmon has a high content of these two omega-3 fatty acids, and also provides protein, vitamin D and other nutrients.
People can include salmon in their meals with simple cooking methods such as steaming or pan-frying with little oil, instead of frying with a lot of fat.
Cod belongs to the group of fatty fish, rich in unsaturated fatty acids. Cod, along with salmon and eel, are fish with high levels of unsaturated fat, and also provide DHA, EPA, vitamin A and vitamin D.
Not only sea fish provide omega-3, carp and freshwater fish also contain DHA and EPA, in which some high-fat fish are significant sources of these fatty acids. Scallops are considered by Xinhua as a suitable choice in the group of high-fat freshwater fish.
This helps people have more choices suitable for their economic conditions, instead of having to look for expensive sea fish. Experts recommend that adults eat about 300-500g of seafood per week, instead of just focusing on one type of fish.
More importantly, the processing method also affects the quality of meals. Steaming, boiling, braising or cooking helps limit the amount of added oil compared to frying. People with fatty liver also need to control their total energy intake, limit alcohol, sugary drinks and saturated fat-rich foods.
