Chapter 1444: Fatty Liver

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Suspect Y is enthusiastically advocating the benefits of the popular vegetarian diet to Aunty Li, just as she did every time she was persuaded to eat meat, but she was interrupted unexpectedly by Zhang Zian.

Her smile was cold on her face because this strange man found a loophole in her words-she did have a fatty liver, although it was mild.

Before starting a vegetarian diet, she was passionate about various foods. She was a slightly fat girl with high body fat, high blood pressure, and sometimes migraines. Her face was also peppered by acne because of eating oily foods often. She did not lie, though. Since she became a vegetarian, these symptoms have been alleviated and disappeared, and she has since become deeply obsessed with vegetarian food. She believes that vegetarian food is not only a need for environmental protection and animal health but also a health need.

The only problem is that she was found to have mild fatty liver during the physical examination. This is actually a small problem. In a modern society where everyone is getting excess nutrition, anyone who has a mild or moderate fatty liver is embarrassed to go out to say hello to people. However, for it appears In her body, she was still a little bit worried.

She didn’t ask the doctor’s opinion, because the doctor’s answer can be expected. It must be to make her a balanced diet. Don’t just eat vegetarian food. Such a textbook-type answer is meaningless to her.

She took it for granted that the problem was with the staple foods, such as rice, cakes, noodles, etc. It may be that these starchy foods were eaten too much by her, which led to fatty liver.

As a result, she further severely restricted her diet and excluded starchy staple foods as much as possible from recipes. In addition to eating a small amount of rhizomes, such as sweet potatoes and purple potatoes, fruits, and vegetables, basically occupied the main position of her recipes. However, her fatty liver has not disappeared.

She was wondering, how did this strange man who had never met her know that she had a fatty liver? Is he an old Chinese medicine expert who knows everything? The problem is that he can’t talk about being old at all.

If he knows her through someone else, that’s not likely, because she didn’t tell anyone about her fatty liver. Other than the doctor who knows, nobody knows, so unless he can get her medical report, she can only think that he is an old Chinese medicine expert...

Snowy listened to this and was stunned. In her heart, she wondered if there were any more hidden attributes of Zhang Zian that she might not even know about?

“Do we know each other?” Suspect Y asked calmly.

Zhang Zian shook his head. “I haven’t seen you before.”

“Why do you say I have a fatty liver?” She neither admitted nor denied.

“This is because there is a disease called-vegetarian liver. It is a type of fatty liver. This disease is caused by the lack of protein and vitamins in vegetables and fruits, which increases the secretion of glucocorticoids and releases a large amount of free fat into the blood. The carrying capacity of lipoproteins exceeds the normal threshold and are eventually deposited in the liver, leading to malnutrition fatty liver, “Zhang Zian said.

At this moment, even Aunty Li couldn’t close her mouth in shock, and she, too, felt that Master Zhang was incredible. She could not see that before; might he indeed be a master physician?

Snowy and the audience in the live broadcast were even more stupified by what they heard. They even wondered if they had recognized the wrong person, or that Zhang Zian was taken over by some divine god-like physician.

Suspect Y is secretly shocked. If this person is an old Chinese doctor who is proficient in his craft and knows everything, she can still accept it, albeit grudgingly. However, when he opens his mouth, out comes a whole set of western medical theories. Did she encounter an upgraded version of traditional Chinese medicine ... An old medic who specializes in treating intractable diseases but integrates traditional Chinese and western medicine?

“You ... Are you a doctor?” Her tone was a little less confident and calm, and a little more cautious and awesome. After all, Zhang Zian’s words just now are too professional and cannot be taken casually.

“No, I’m just an ordinary Gu Tianle ... no, just an ordinary person.” Zhang Zian didn’t know what the girl had to do with Snowy and did not want to make fun of her too much. “It is because I have a lot of cats, so I know.”

“Cat? What does this have to do with cats?” She asked blankly.

“Because cats also get fatty liver.” He raised his hand to stop Aunty Li, who was about to rattle off about some ‘wise’ words and said. “Not the special cat in my shop that can eat a lot! In fact, cats will get fatty liver, often not from overeating, but by being chronically malnourished.”

He glanced at suspect Y’s body shape, and said with a pointed finger: “It’s almost like a human.”

Not only Snowy, Suspect Y, but also several young diners on the table noticed their conversation, stopped playing with the cats on their hand and listened with interest.

Since the store also has cats, Aunty Li simply pulled a chair and sat down to listen carefully.

There are several causes of fatty liver in humans. The most common are overeating and obesity. The true cause of fatty liver in cats has not yet been determined, but the biggest reason is insufficient food. Hungry-cats certainly don’t eat fruits and vegetables. Cats’ diet is pure meat.

If the cat does not have enough meat to eat, they starve, get malnourished, and then suffer from a fatty liver.

Humans who do not eat meat and eat only fruits and vegetables. This is another form of starvation, and they will, too, suffer from malnutrition fatty liver.

The two are very similar.

Similarly, if the cat has not been full for a long time, and has a lean body shape when their food intake is further reduced, the fatty liver will generally not develop in such cases. If they are generally obese, when the food supply level suddenly drops and continues for a period of time, cats are likely to develop a fatty liver.

No one is born a vegetarian, but there is always an opportunity to become a vegetarian. When people change from omnivores to vegetarians, especially when they become extreme vegetarians, consuming only pure fruits and vegetables, they will experience something similar to cats. They will also suffer from fatty liver.

Zhang Zian knows this because customers often come to see him or send messages to inquire. My cat is too fat. Is it bad for its health? After receiving a positive response, customers often suddenly reduce the food supply of their own cats. Usually, two cans of food each meal is reduced to one at a time. As a result, cats will develop serious health problems.

People are also like this. When pets or children are spoiled, they are afraid they get hungry if they are fed lesser. However, once the pets or children have health problems because of obesity, they anxiously make the pets or children lose weight all at once being significantly reducing the food intake. The extreme goes to the other extreme.

He checked the relevant information, and in the process of checking the information, he occasionally read about the problem of fatty liver of human vegetarians. Because of the similar inducement and principle, he looked at it a few more times.

So when a customer asks about weight loss for a cat, he always emphasizes to them not to reduce the food intake too much. Otherwise, it will be dangerous.

As for the cat that can eat a lot ... it will depend on itself to realize this fact.
