Regarding fatty liver, there are many friends in the background who are complaining to Xiaowei:
As a major country with liver diseases, China has one patient with fatty liver in every three adults.
What people are most afraid of when suffering from fatty liver is the development of liver cancer. How can we "reverse" fatty liver and nip it in the cradle of malignancy?
A new study recently found that there is a food that fatty liver fears the most!
That's: green beans! (Also known as kidney beans or kidney beans,)
A study published in the journal Nutrients by researchers from the School of Food and Health at Beijing University of Technology and the School of Food Science and Technology at Jiangnan University showed that daily consumption of kidney beans can effectively reduce obesity, blood lipids, and blood sugar in mice, improve insulin resistance and liver function markers, and thus alleviate fatty liver. Green beans also normalize the dysbiosis of intestinal microbiota in mice.
The study further indicates that green beans can regulate gut microbiota metabolism, activate multiple metabolic pathways in the body, and alleviate symptoms of fatty liver. Not only that, consuming green beans also has the following benefits:
Improve insulin resistance, thereby lowering blood sugar;
Improving obesity and dysbiosis of gut microbiota;
So how can green beans be eaten to achieve their best benefits?
Eating green beans like this can improve symptoms of fatty liver!
01 Eating 100-200g per day
Eating 100-200g of green beans a day is enough, which is equivalent to a normal small plate of vegetables (1 person's appetite).
Do not eat on an empty stomach, and eat along with main foods to avoid gastrointestinal dysfunction, causing symptoms such as indigestion, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
02 Cooking method: stir fry
Green beans should be cooked in a stir fried manner. Remember to control the amount of oil and avoid excessive amounts (the soup is full of oil). Vegetables with high oil content can easily lead to elevated blood lipids, which is harmful to improving fatty liver.
03 Remember to blanch and cook
Green beans must be cooked and eaten, because eating unripe green beans can lead to poisoning.
It is recommended that everyone blanch the green beans in boiling water for about 5 minutes before cooking.
If someone doesn't like to eat green beans and wants to ask if there is any replacement, theoretically speaking, most common beans have similar effects, such as chickpeas, Dutch beans, edamames, etc. Just follow the way green beans are eaten.
But if fatty liver can be completely improved by just eating a single food, then it is not a chronic disease that everyone is concerned about.
In order to achieve the best reversal effect of fatty liver, the following two things need to be done well.
To reverse fatty liver, do these two steps well
On diet: make two adjustments
Patients with fatty liver are advised to make the following two dietary adjustments:
Low fat and low oil, balanced nutrition, and emphasis on protein supplementation are the best dietary conditions for patients with fatty liver.
In terms of exercise: walk enough every day
No need to exercise deliberately, just walk for 25 minutes every day!
The brisk walking pace is approximately 1.2 steps per second, and the body can speak normally, but cannot sing loudly. Walk quickly for 10 minutes on the way to work and 15 minutes on the way to work, making it easy to meet the time standards.
No need for deliberate weight loss and exercise, satisfying friends who lack willpower and cannot persist in exercising to lose weight, improving fatty liver.
Also, it is important to remind everyone not to take liver protection pills or other medications without authorization!
The metabolism of drugs needs to go through the liver, and regardless of the type of drug, it needs to be metabolized by the liver. Taking drugs without the guidance of a doctor will only burden the liver.
I hope that those with fatty liver can achieve "reversal", while those without fatty liver can stay away from this disease and have a healthy and good body!
