The liver is the most heroic human organ. It can regenerate from the ashes, like the phoenix (the liver is restored even with the loss of most cells), it works when the whole body is asleep (at night the liver is occupied with the detox of the body) and in general, its work is not jokingly dangerous, only poisons. If we could imagine the full picture in the colors of her "hepatic" life, we managed to adjust our diet to perfection. But, alas! To be content with a healthy diet is already on a diet with a sick liver.
goal
Whatever the disease (hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver failure) diet menu for a sick liver is made up of the following considerations:
- to reduce the burden on the diseased organ, enabling the liver to do its restoration with might and main;
- reduce the synthesis of bile;
- to improve the cholestasis, to get rid of the delay of bile and the formation of stones in the biliary tract;
- restore metabolism in the diseased organ;
- to feed the liver with vitamins and substances useful for recovery;
- increase the intake of protein for the formation of new hepatocytes (liver cells).
Proceeding from this, the menu, of course, should be gentle (a large list of harmful and heavy products is excluded), the menu should be high-grade (increased amount of calories and protein), the menu should contain fiber (for bile secretion) and vitamins - to accelerate the recovery process.
In the end, a diet with a sick liver should be tasty, because the "liverwort" often disappears appetite, and now it is necessary to eat right now.
