Dr. Qian Zhenghong, Director of the Liver Disease Prevention and Treatment Center of Chang Gung Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan, China, said diet plays an important role in treating fatty liver.
Specifically, Ms. Chuc was diagnosed with fatty liver disease and needed to change her diet and lose weight for treatment.
Ms. Chuk has the secret to eating sweet potatoes.
According to Dr. Qian, cold-cooked sweet potatoes not only help with weight loss but also significantly improve fatty liver condition due to increased resistant starch content.
Some outstanding health benefits of sweet potatoes
According to doctor Qian Zhenghong, although sweet potatoes are cheap and easy to find, they are rich in nutrients and bring many health benefits.
Good for the digestive system
The high fiber content in sweet potatoes helps improve digestion, prevent constipation and nourish intestinal flora.
Improve liver function
Antioxidants in sweet potatoes, especially beta-carotene, help protect liver cells from damage and support liver tissue regeneration.
Effective weight loss support
Sweet potatoes contain large amounts of fiber and resistant starch, which can create a feeling of fullness without providing too many calories.
Stabilizes blood sugar
Resistant starch in steamed/boiled and cooled sweet potatoes helps reduce sugar absorption and maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Enhance cardiovascular health
Sweet potatoes are rich in potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure, reduce pressure on arteries and prevent the risk of heart disease or stroke.
Enhance immunity
Sweet potatoes contain lots of vitamin A, which helps improve immunity and protect the body from infection.
Helps prevent cancer
Sweet potatoes have anti-cancer effects thanks to natural compounds with strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties as well as gut-friendly fiber.
Improve skin health
Vitamins A and C in sweet potatoes promote skin regeneration, reduce wrinkles, and make skin brighter and healthier.
repeat:Dr. Qian added that although sweet potatoes are healthy, eating too much can cause bloating and indigestion due to their high starch and fiber content.
