Q I'm a 40-something office worker with frequent overtime and group dinners. It's hard to completely quit late-night eating and drinking. How should I manage?
A Late-night eating and drinking are two axes that directly enlarge fatty liver. Rather than quitting at once, start with realistic goals like reducing late-night eating to 1–2 times a week and cutting your drinking amount in half at group dinners.
Detailed Answer
Late-night meals make the liver synthesize fat at a time when it should be resting. Drinking itself creates alcoholic fatty liver, and combined with the side dishes, the burden doubles. While maintaining work life, it's hard to quit completely, but just reducing the frequency of late-night meals and the amount per drinking session can buy the liver time to recover.
Oriental Medicine Clinic Perspective
Oriental medicine treatment restores the stomach and liver-gallbladder rhythm broken by group dinners and overtime, creating a body that collapses less even after the same group dinner. We focus on sustainable change rather than perfect abstinence and fasting.
