Answer 1

liver is the organ responsible for various metabolic processes

protein and fat metabolism

excess fat intake during disorders affecting liver would put excess strain on liver functions which are already affected

thus liver functions will further get deranged and affects normal physiology of liver

thus in jaundice

-avoid fats rich diet,oils,spicy food

-take carbohydrate rich diet

-red meat and excess protein be avoided

saturated fats like animal fats be avoided

-take plenty fluids

Answer 2

if you have jaundice it means that you have a liver or gallbladder problem..

it's like this..

bile is the fluid that digests/emulsifies fats so it could be absorbed in the small intestines..

the liver produces bile, which is then stored in the gallbladder..

no gallbladder/liver, no emulsifier, so fat intake should be lessened, coz if not, the fats then won't be digested, and can lead to gastrointestinal problems..
