Dr Shee Vá is also an audiophile and in his private time gives seminars about opera at the Rui Cunha Foundation. But he wants to tell me about his latest endeavor, one related both to his trade and another of his passions: food. “The Association of Portuguese Speaking Doctors, together with The Association of Nutritionists, organized a two day event, dedicated to one of the fastest growing health problems in the world and in Asia – nonalcoholic fatty liver disease,” he says, proceeding to explain that the disease is marked by liver inflammation, which may progress to scarring and irreversible damage. This damage is similar to the damage caused by heavy alcohol use. At its most severe, it can progress to cirrhosis and liver failure. It is a serious issue he feels needs to be addressed. 但他希望着重谈谈自己的最新尝试，与其职业相关的另一 个激情所在：美食。 他介绍说，“澳门葡语医生协会与营养学家协会联合举办 了一场为期两天的活动，致力于世界上以及亚洲地区发展最快 的健康问题之一，非酒精性脂肪性肝病。”这种疾病以肝脏炎 症为特征，有可能发展为瘢痕和不可逆的损伤。这种损害与大 量饮酒造成的损害相似。最严重的情况下，甚至会发展为肝硬 化和肝衰竭。在他看来，这是一个亟需面对的问题。 尽管这项活动面向的是健康专业人士，但仍是一个创新的 理念。一天的会谈和研讨会过后，马仕华医生协助筹备了一场 晚宴。 他笑称，“我们着重于地中海美食，因为它是最平衡的。 虽谈不上是理想饮食（坦白讲，我不喜欢这个用词），却是以 最小的伤害，让人们感到最满足的饮食，尤其是由于烹饪过程 中橄榄油的大量使用。”
