Question 1

i have been diagnosed with nafld. my liver span is 14.2 cms. i am hb negative and hcv negative. can i take potato chips and alcohol one in a month?

Accepted Answer

Moderation: Is the key... As long as you don't have cirrhosis, small amounts of salt and alcohol should be safe.

Question 2

i have been dieting due to fatty liver from obesity. i have lost 47lbs since march.  is it safe for me to have some mashed potatoes and gravy?

Accepted Answer

Safe but not healthy: Congrats on the loss of 47 pounds!  pretty much anything in moderation is ok.  However, gravy is predominately fat; therefore if your goal is to reduce fatty foods a better choice would be a sweet potatoe with no gravy.  Choose healthy carbs and avoid fatty foods like gravy to continue losing weight and improve your condition.  Indulging in fatty foods is likely to leave you craving more.

Question 3

i want to lose weight, but i have problem that i can't stop overeating sweets, brad, potato and so on. i think i'm addicted. what can i do?

Accepted Answer

I am too! Try this--: I assume you're dieting. If so, you're not unique--most of us want what we can't have!  Exercise (walk the mall, bike riding a paved trail) should distract you and burn calories.  Devoting time to a passion may help. Cheating on your diet twice a week will help you feel less deprived, but make up for it the next day. Research fun low-cal recipes. Or, eat anything you want just in small portions.

Question 4

is it generally good to eat a whole big sweet potato?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Does have ...: Modest carbs, but with more vitamins, minerals, and fiber than a regular potato! hence, lower glycemic index! i enjoy them with regularity!

Question 5

would 1 cup of sweet iced coffee every day cause liver problems?

Accepted Answer

: Very less likely if your total sugar intake (carbohydrate) is still in average.

Question 6

are sweet potato fries a healthy substitute for french fries?  what's a good, healthy recipe for them?

Accepted Answer

Not really: The issue with fries is the fact that whether regular potato or sweet potato, they are generally prepared by deep frying which infuses a lot of fat into the fry.  A better way to prepare them is to use raw potatoes so you know what you are starting with (prepackaged sometimes have salty and fatty additives).  Then bake the fries instead of frying them.  Good taste and healthier.

Question 7

are mustard oil and sweet potatoes good for a hypothyroid patient?

Accepted Answer

Not useful: A hypothyroid person may take mustard oil and or potatoes, but one should not expect these items to help the hypothyroid state. If you are hypothyroid, seek a prescription from your doctor.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex. 
Get HPV vaccine, if you are under 27 years of age.

Question 8

are these sweets good for you? sweet potato? dark chocolate? if sweet potatoes are good for you, are they still good even if they are made in pies?

Accepted Answer

Yes in moderation: Yes they are good for you in moderation and have no harmful effect unless used in excess.

Question 9

is sweet potatoes good for acne?

Accepted Answer

Whoa: The fact that you asked tells me that you're not treating yourself / being treated scientifically. Forget the home / pop remedies except as adjuncts. If two weeks of topical benzoyl peroxide has not cleared you, get with your personal physician for some prescription-strength stuff. Acne is a serious personal and professional problem and you deserve better than a sweet potato.

Question 10

i found out i have liver problems yesterday, i started taking probiotics 2 wks ago, i heard its good for liver issues,how do i protect my liver and what else can i take or not take? they said it was in the beginning stages,i dont even drink?

Accepted Answer

: We need more information before we can advise you. I think you'll be best served by consulting a hepatologist or gastroenterologist for thorough evaluation&amp; best advise and follow-up.  Appropriate testing will be ordered. I assume you've already had a hepatitis panel done. Fatty liver may be the issue.
