(Question) Does milk thistle help with fatty liver?[7]

My father has a history of fatty liver disease, so he undergoes ultrasounds at every checkup. My mother had her first ultrasound during her recent health checkup, and was diagnosed with fatty liver disease that was transitioning from the early stage to the mid-stage. Since both my parents have fatty liver disease, I'm really worried. I've heard many people take milk thistle, but does it help with fatty liver disease? Are there any other nutritional supplements that are good for the liver? I'm curious about the effects of taking it.

Experience with management after diagnosis of fatty liver disease at Ansan City Sokpyeonhan Internal Medicine Clinic[1]

I started gaining weight a few years ago. I gained weight because I couldn't exercise actively. I couldn't lose weight. As a result, blood sugar levels naturally increase. Cholesterol levels also increased. The problem didn't end there. As my fat increased, so did my liver function. An ultrasound ultimately diagnosed me with fatty liver disease. So, starting last year, I had regular liver tests and was prescribed Legaron capsules and Uruliber tablets, which are liver-enhancing medications. I continue to take them. I think I should do some moderate exercise along with taking the medication, but it's not easy because I'm tired.

🍛 (Liver Fat Improvement) Try adding tofu to fried rice~[12]

Today, a sunny-side-up egg with a firm yolk I have fried rice filled with lots of vegetables for dinner. Please stir-fry only cabbage, onions, and carrots. If you mash the tofu to remove moisture and then stir-fry it It tastes great when added to fried rice, and it also has a very nice nutty flavor when served on Greek yogurt. Instead of ham, I added two small pieces of cremi, chopped finely. The protein contained in tofu not only promotes liver cell regeneration but also helps improve fatty liver by transporting fat produced in the liver into the bloodstream. Additionally, lecithin is an essential component of cell membrane structure, preventing fat accumulation in blood vessels and promoting alcohol breakdown and waste elimination.

(Intermittent fasting) Helps Treat Fatty Liver… How?[4]

Intermittent fasting can help treat fatty liver disease… How? Reporter Shin So-young's story Intermittent fasting can help treat fatty liver disease… How? A study found that intermittent fasting is effective in treating fatty liver disease. Metabolic fatty liver disease, with a high prevalence of approximately 30% among Korean adults, is a condition characterized by the accumulation of fat in the liver. It is closely linked to metabolic diseases such as obesity, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes. As fatty liver disease progresses, liver-related complications such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer may occur, and the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and resulting mortality increases, requiring active treatment. Since an effective treatment for fatty liver disease has not yet been introduced in Korea, weight loss through diet and exercise is currently considered the most important treatment method. Professor Lee Han-ah's team from the Department of Gastroenterology at Chung-Ang University Hospital conducted a study to determine the effects of intermittent calorie restriction in non-diabetic patients with metabolic fatty liver disease. To do this, the team divided the patients into two groups and compared the effects of intermittent calorie restriction versus a standard diet over 12 weeks. As a result, the group that did the intermittent fasting "5:2 intermittent calorie restriction" showed a higher proportion of patients who reduced the amount of fat in their liver by more than 30% compared to the group that ate the "standard diet" (72.2% vs. 44.4%). The 5:2 intermittent calorie restriction method is a method of consuming 2000-2500 kcal or less of regular meals for 5 days a week and 500-600 kcal for 2 days. The standard diet group consumed 80% of the recommended calorie intake for three meals a week, 1200-1800 kcal. Intermittent calorie restriction diets were found to be more effective in reducing fatty liver disease in obese individuals than in non-obese individuals. Furthermore, they were found to be effective in weight loss (relative weight loss rates of 5.5% vs. 2.9%). With this, the research team confirmed that the intermittent calorie restriction (5:2 diet) diet can be an effective treatment for obese patients with fatty liver disease. “We encourage obese people to actively try non-pharmacological treatments, as intermittent calorie restriction twice a week is effective in reducing fatty liver disease and weight loss,” said study author Professor Lee Han-ah. Then, “ Don't underestimate the commonness of fatty liver disease; if left untreated, it can lead to hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. “It can lead to cancer, so early and active prevention through diet management is necessary,” he said. =========== Intermittent fasting helps with fatty liver It's possible I thought fatty liver was easy, but they say it can lead to hepatitis and liver cancer. With the thought of going on a diet It might be okay to do intermittent fasting occasionally.

"Do women who don't drink alcohol have healthy livers?"... Can common fatty liver develop into cancer?[2]

Examined ovarian cancer in women under 50... also related to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease At the 2024 Korean Society of Family Medicine Spring Conference held last month, a paper was presented indicating that women with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease have a higher risk of developing 'young ovarian cancer' under the age of 50. Even obese women without non-alcoholic fatty liver disease did not have an increased risk of ovarian cancer. Conversely, women with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease had an increased risk of ovarian cancer regardless of obesity status. Non-drinkers are classified as having non-alcoholic fatty liver if they accumulate more than 5% fat in the liver due to high-calorie food intake and lack of exercise. According to data from the Central Cancer Registry in December 2023, there were 3,221 new cases of ovarian cancer in 2021. Among the patients, those under 50 years old, in their 40s, accounted for 17.8%. Those in their 50s made up 28.7%, and those in their 60s accounted for 20.5%. According to the National Cancer Information Center, the most dangerous cause of ovarian cancer is related to ovulation. A longer ovulation period in a lifetime, such as early menarche or late menopause, increases the risk of ovarian cancer. Unmarried women and women with infertility also have an increased risk of ovarian cancer. 5-10% of ovarian cancers have a genetic component. If a mother or sister has had ovarian cancer, the likelihood of developing ovarian cancer is higher compared to those without such a family history. Mildly viewed fatty liver... increased risk of liver cancer, colon cancer, and breast cancer Even common fatty liver should not be taken lightly. The liver can worsen into a more dangerous disease because it often causes no pain despite damage. Studies have shown that if fatty liver is not treated promptly, the risk of liver cancer can increase by 16.7 times, colon cancer by 2 times, and breast cancer by 1.9 times. The increased risk of colon and breast cancer appears to be due to ongoing inflammation caused by excessive calorie intake, lack of exercise, and obesity. Eating bread and meat fat frequently... gained weight and increased liver fat Most cases of fatty liver are non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, even if you do not drink alcohol. Consuming foods high in saturated fats, such as refined carbohydrates (bread, noodles, etc.) and fatty meats (pork belly, internal organs, etc.), can increase the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver. Lack of exercise is also a cause. In obese individuals, 60-80% have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. If fatty liver is left untreated, it can progress to hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. Losing weight improves liver enzyme levels... Eating low-calorie foods like vegetables plus exercise helps. Losing only about 5% of body weight can improve liver function and also enhance insulin resistance, which increases the risk of diabetes (Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency data). Avoid overeating and consume more low-calorie foods such as vegetables to reduce the calorie intake stored in the body. Dietary fiber found abundantly in vegetables and seaweed contributes to reducing triglycerides and cholesterol in the body. Calories consumed in the body should be used through exercise; otherwise, they are stored as fat. It is recommended to do moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, such as walking, for at least 30 minutes a day, five times a week. Combining strength training is also beneficial. Prompt action is important for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

I had a health checkup last Friday. While receiving the index finger test, I was offered a discount on an abdominal ultrasound because of my age. I thought it would be okay if we received it together, so I applied and received it together. Doctor, as soon as I looked at the abdominal ultrasound, I saw that you have fatty liver. They said you should lose weight and shed some pounds. And I was very surprised to hear that there is a tumor in the kidney as well~ Doctor, I don't think you need to worry much about the kidneys or anything like that. So, they told me to get a check-up once every 2 to 3 years. I start to worry whenever I hear there's a lump. Have you had a kidney ultrasound and been told you have a cyst like me? I said I was okay, but I was still worried. As I get older year by year, I really start to pay more attention to my health. I'm feeling down after my health checkup because of fatty liver and a cyst on my kidney. The results for other tests will only be available after two weeks... I'm scared there might be more issues elsewhere.
