It has been revealed that the condition of the liver of the famous actor Ufuk Özkan, who has been diagnosed with cirrhosis and has been undergoing treatment for about two years, was caused by a wrong diet he followed. There is only one way for Özkan to be saved: organ transplant...
In 2023, beloved actor Ufuk Özkan, who was diagnosed with cirrhosis and has been undergoing treatment for about two years, was hospitalized due to the worsening of his health condition. Many of his colleagues shared on social media to find a donor for Ufuk Özkan's liver transplant.
"MY BROTHER'S CONDITION IS VERY SERIOUS"
Umut Özkan, the famous actor's brother, who said, "Unfortunately, my brother's condition is very serious," made another statement. Umut Özkan expressed that he was a donor for his brother, but the test results were negative.
THE ONLY SALVATION IS ORGAN TRANSPLANT
While the repercussions of the incident continue, Mevlüt Tezel, who wrote an article in his column in Sabah regarding the issue, stated that a wrong diet caused Özkan's liver to reach this state. Tezel expressed that the only way for the famous actor's salvation is organ transplant, saying, "The reason for Özkan's liver failure is eating too much fruit."
HE HIMSELF HAD OVERCOME THE REASON
The famous actor had explained that he unconsciously followed the diet of Hollywood stars: "There is a diet that Hollywood stars do, but they do it properly... One day, a guy eats carbohydrates, proteins, etc., and the next day only eats fruit. I started like that, like a gentleman, and then I spread it over the whole week. I only ate fruit, fruit. When I didn't take any protein or carbohydrates, my immune system suddenly collapsed. Once the liver is damaged, it tolerates it up to a certain point, but then it reacts very harshly."
