iHealth News: Diets High in Protein and Fiber May Help Healthy Weight Loss

A study of overweight dogs found that a reduced-calorie, high-protein, high-fiber diet resulted in a healthier weight without losing too much muscle mass. This resulted in a decrease in toxic fecal ammonia and an increase in friendly gut bacteria and butyrate. Butyrate has anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects. Diets high in protein and fiber are optimal for healthy weight loss.

一项对超重狗的研究发现，低热量、高蛋白、高纤维的饮食可以在不造成太多肌肉损失的情况下获得更健康的体重。这导致了粪便中有毒的氨的减少，并促进了有益肠道细菌以及丁酸盐的增加。丁酸盐具有抗炎和抗癌的功效。富含蛋白质和纤维的饮食是健康减肥的最佳选择。

High-protein diet can help reduce fat content in the liver
From 1999 to 2016, deaths due to liver disease in the USA has jumped by 65%, with the most increase seen in young adults. A common liver disease is fatty liver disease. Too much fat in the liver can lead to liver failure and increase the risk of liver cancer. There is currently no treatment for it. However, researchers have found that a high-protein diet can help reduce fat content in the liver, as well as reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes in those with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

高蛋白的饮食有助于减少肝脏中脂肪的含量
从1999年到2016年，美国因为肝脏疾病而导致死亡的人数增加了65％，其中以年轻人的增幅最大。常见的肝脏疾病之一就是脂肪肝。肝脏中积累了过多的脂肪，会导致肝功能衰竭，并增加罹患肝癌的风险。对此，目前还没有治疗的方法。然而研究人员发现，高蛋白的饮食有助于减少肝脏中脂肪的含量，并可以降低非酒精性脂肪肝患者罹患2-型糖尿病的风险。
