Drinking alcohol is bad for your health! As a doctor, I definitely don't recommend that people drink alcohol and try not to drink if they can.

But it's actually quite difficult for us doctors, both in our ordinary lives and in our clinical work, to tell a person to stop drinking, and very often it's not accepted, theI even once met a patient who was told to his face to stop drinking, you have hepatitis, you have to have regular reviews, and then turned around and told his son: this is a quack, just trying to make a buck!

Later, that patient came back for a review, and it was my colleague who saw him, and didn't say anything about not drinking.Let's try to drink as little as possible, and it's accepted！

So, sometimes we doctors are helpless, because drinking it's not like drinking poisoned wine that kills you on the spot.It's so invisible that it's hard for many people to feel the harm caused by drinking alcohol。

Many people even think that as long as I don't get drunk, I won't hurt my liver, which is in fact a misconception.

Why does a person get drunk? Actually.Mainly because your stomach can't tolerate it, your brain can't tolerate it, and if you can't tolerate it, you vomit, and naturally you get drunk.

But just because there are some people who drink well and don't get drunk and don't throw up doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt the liver, because there is some damage, some changes that are not felt by us as people simply through our senses. But you go and get your blood drawn, you get your labs done, and maybe the transaminases are already high.So it's not necessarily something that you can see and feel that's called "liver damage", but often it's just something that's not there at the moment, but will be there later.

Like when I was in college, I had to do a study on fatty liver with rats. It was very expensive to buy a rat model with already fatty liver directly, one or two thousand, and then our teacher let us raise it ourselves.It took over 3 months of full feeding to get a fatty liver.So, as you can imagine, the damage is all one step at a time starting from unseen, unnoticeable damage and getting worse later on!

Therefore, there is also no such thing as drinking once, ten times, and you will be found to have a fatty liver, always sometimes it takes 5 to 10 years to drink!

So in terms of people drinking alcohol, in the beginning, there is really no particularly sensitive indicators of liver injury, but do not therefore think that there are no symptoms, no feeling, or feel very good, that there is no damage, do not need to go to the hospital for examination, theYou can barely get how much drinking is hurting you without a blood draw, ultrasound, or liver elasticity test, etc.！

Therefore.It is important that people who drink alcohol have their liver function checked frequently!

So let's say if you want to protect your liver and you want to drink alcohol, what can some people do if they just can't quit?

That is to minimize the dangers of drinking!

First, it is very important not to drink on an empty stomach and not to drink sharply.Because drinking on an empty stomach, it is first absorbed faster; secondly it is it directly stimulate our gastric mucosa, more likely to cause damage, so want to drink, drink while eating, drink slowly, will be better;

Second, don't drink heavily, that is, don't drink too much at once!When you drink too much, the load is high, and I think that's something you can understand if you think about it, and when the load is high, the damage is definitely aggravated;

Thirdly, just don't move, drink in the morning, drink at noon, and drink again at night.Think about it. Even the machines can't stand it if they don't rest all day long.There is a saying that only tired oxen, not plowed fields.The frequency of the release gives the liver some time to slow down, which naturally reduces the damage to the liver;

Fourth, is that alcohol should not be mixed.Do not beer drink finished, not strong, and then come to drink white, a happy red also drink up, these kinds of wine down, I'm afraid of the middle of some chemical reaction, and this is likely to bring more harm than alcohol;

Fifth, is that people who have been diagnosed with liver disease, with hepatitis, should definitely not drink it anymore, people think about what happens when you add fuel to the fire and you get it!

Sixth, obesity as little as possible to drink.But see nowadays, inside the society, fat people tend to be the kind of people who belong to the category of people who can drink very well, which actually means the same thing as having a liver disease and then drinking, adding insult to injury!

The seventh one is that people should pay attentionMedicinal wine is also wineDon't think of medicinal wine as a tonic and assume that you can just drink it freely.

By removing the above risk factors, it is natural to also minimize the damage that alcohol does to our bodies, especially to the liver!

Finally, what other points are important when we say that it's important to protect your liver, besides not drinking alcohol?

The first point is that health supplements do not "protect" or "protect" the liver!Because everyone takes liver health very seriously, and that tends to create a market for health supplements these days. A lot of what to protect the liver.The "monsters" of liver protection are out!In fact, you can ask a professional hepatologist to see if any of them will recommend any supplements that will protect your liver.

Almost certainly not.We doctors generally do not recommend that we take a health food for nothing! Our doctors generally do not recommend that we have nothing to eat a health food, in fact, the best health food comes from our hair daily diet, the food we eat, how to do food rich and miscellaneous, balanced diet, this point in fact, for the protection of our liver is very important.Like everyone has eaten the best health food, not our mountain food, chicken, duck and beef, but those ordinary vegetables and meat, eggs and milk.

Of course, it's not that taking supplements will damage our liver, it's just that doing it to reduce its load is the best way to protect it from a liver protection standpoint!

The second point is, don't take any medication.Especially in the choice of drugs, must go to the specialist treatment, this is the best, medication such things, on which even our different departments doctors, can not be replaced, because there are specialties! And once there is a problem with the choice of drugs, it will increase the burden on our liver, and in serious cases, it will cause drug liver injury, so it is not recommended that we take drugs indiscriminately, including Chinese medicine!

Thirdly, it is important to get a liver test if you experience any of the following symptomsWhy?

Because the liver is not very damaged, the damage is reversible when stopped in time. Therefore, early detection, early stopping, and early intervention are critical to prevent irreversible damage to the liver!

• Wasting away and weight loss;
• arteriosclerosis；

• A sudden change in skin color, such as jaundice;
• Eye Changes;Like our liver and eyes are closely linked; like our eyes are bad, we know that vitamin A supplementation, and the metabolism of vitamin A and some hormones are transformed into each other and utilized, all done in the liver. If we have liver problems, such as bile drainage, we may have scleral yellowing, and become little yellow people;

• Previously, toileting was normal, and suddenlyFrequent urination and urgency；

with respect toLiver, Liver ProtectionIf you still have any questions, you can leave a message below, I insist on using the words that we can understand, the most primitive way of coding to bring you the best, the most comprehensive, the most practical health science and technology. If you feel good, you can pay attention to "Medical Detective" and forward yo to more people around you!

Many people have heard that "drinking hurts the liver" but don't know why.

In fact, because the liver is the body's detoxification organ, when alcohol enters the body, mainly by the liver to carry out the decomposition and metabolism, in the case of liver health, a small amount of alcohol is still generally in the liver's "ability" range.

However, if a person consumes alcohol for a long period of time and in large quantities, it can causeimpaired metabolism of hepatocytes.causes fatty degeneration and accumulation of fat in the liver cells, and can even causechronic alcoholismthat harms the organs of the body, especially the liver, and is likely to causeFatty liver, hepatitis, and even alcoholic cirrhosis, which induces liver cancer.

So to speak:The more you drink alcohol, the longer you drink it, then the more damage it does to your liver, the more pronounced it is.

Those who have been drinking alcohol for many years have noticeable changes in their internal organs as well as on the outside of the body: for example, those who have been drinking for more than 20 years and who drink more than one pound of alcohol per day may at first have afatty liverThe manifestations of the disease include loss of appetite, anorexia of greasy food, nausea and vomiting, abdominal distension, fatigue, and discomfort in the right upper abdomen.

Slowly as the lesion progressed, it evolved intoalcoholic hepatitisThe patient will present withChronic liver disease facial features, and liver palms, spider molesand other characteristic manifestations, while the disease continues to deteriorate secondary to thecirrhosis, and can even develop into liver cancer.

For ordinary people, drinking alcohol hurts the liver, stomach and body, the best way is to try not to drink alcohol, for those who drink alcohol all year round, want to liver health, it is best to quit drinking or try to control the amount of alcohol.

How do you manage to hurt your liver with alcohol?

If you've been drinking for years and want to tone your body, there are a few things you can do to start:

First, first of all, we have to stop drinking.Let's not re-emphasize this one, but if you just can't say no at work, try to drink as little as possible.

If we can't stop drinking, then we should also try to minimize the harm of drinking!

Notes include:Do not drink on an empty stomach! Don't drink mixed drinks where multiple types of alcohol are mixed together to avoid drunkenness, try to avoid high level of alcohol and promote low level of alcohol, eat some fresh vegetables and fruits or staple food to pad your stomach before drinking, and drink plenty of water.

It's also not a good idea to drink too fast or too fast, and don't go on a drinking spree with someone - it's not something to be feisty about.

In patients with chronic viral hepatitis B and cirrhosis of the liver, it is even more important to strictly avoid alcohol.

Second, eat more foods rich in B vitamins.For example, common beans, mushrooms, eggs and beef liver, chicken liver, etc., to regulate the liver, eat more light vitamin-rich foods, appropriate supplementation of high-protein foods, such as beef, lamb, seafood, nuts and so on.

Third, maintaining a good lifestyle.Normal work and rest, it is best to go to bed before 10:00 p.m., do not stay up late, maintain sufficient sleep. Avoid exertion, stay away from the smoking environment, and increase aerobic exercise, such as jogging, playing badminton, practicing Tai Chi, etc., as appropriate.

Fourth, for those who have been drinking alcohol for a long time and can't quit, liver ultrasound and liver function tests, if necessary.If there are abnormalities in liver function, it is always good to take liver protection tablets, compound glycyrrhizin tablets, vitamin C and other medications under doctor's supervision for a little extra protection.

Aside from not drinking alcohol, what should you do on a daily basis to protect your liver?

In addition to long-term heavy drinking, there are many other behaviors that harm the liver, such as eating high-fat food for a long time, often eating expired or nitrite-rich food, overeating, irregular diet, often angry, poor sleep, staying up late for a long time, blindly taking medication or diet pills and so on, which friends must pay attention to avoid in their daily lives.

To protect your liver, you have to start with small things in your daily life, and you can mainly do these points below:

1. Eat a balanced diet

Eating habits should be good. Eating habits such as overeating or having a full meal will affect the function of the liver. At the same time, long-term high-fat diet, spicy and stimulating foods will also increase the burden on the liver.

On weekdays, we should try to eat a regular diet, a balanced diet, a light diet, choose a high protein and high vitamin, low-salt, low-fat, low-sugar diet, eat more food rich in vitamin C, such as tangerines, grapefruit, oranges, and eat more green vegetables, do not eat spicy, deep-fried, oily, indigestible food.

Hydration increases circulating blood volume and enhances the vitality of liver cells. It is important to get into the habit of drinking more water, at regular intervals and in small amounts.

2、Stick to exercise

Exercise can promote gas exchange and blood circulation, speed up the metabolism, and is also conducive to liver qi dredging. Therefore, if you want to maintain normal liver function, you should maintain proper exercise, and you can choose aerobic exercise, such as jogging, playing ball, square dancing and so on.

Even if you have chronic liver disease, you can still engage in more soothing activities like walking, jogging, and swimming.

3、Keep a happy mood

As the saying goes, "anger hurts the liver", the mood of the organ function is also a great influence, want to maintain the normal function of the liver, you should maintain a happy mood, learn to release pressure, do not be too tense and depressing, especially the middle-aged and elderly people, need to learn to self-regulation, and strive to be optimistic and cheerful.

4. Active prevention and treatment of liver disease

It is necessary to actively vaccinate against hepatitis B and hepatitis A to prevent hepatitis B and hepatitis A effectively. If you have hepatitis B and hepatitis A, you should actively treat them with medication and regular medical checkups to prevent chronic hepatitis from developing into cirrhosis.

Be careful not to take the wrong or more drugs that are harmful to liver damage, such as antibiotics and hormones. At the same time, do not indiscriminate use of supplements, especially hepatitis B patients with elevated aminotransferases, if the abuse of supplements may aggravate the burden on the liver, daily nutrition in fact, can be obtained from the diet, want to eat supplements, but also in the doctor's advice, symptomatic and appropriate to take, such as Cordyceps Sinensis flowers, Cordyceps Sinensis, and other traditional Chinese herbs.

5. People with a family history of susceptibility to liver disease should pay particular attention to regular medical checkups on weekdays and maintain good living habits.

Summary: want to protect the liver, it is best not to drink alcohol, drinkers should quit drinking, if you really can not do not drink alcohol, then also pay attention to try to avoid alcohol to bring harm to the liver, to comply with some of the "rules" of drinking, such as not to drink on an empty stomach, do not get drunk, do not drink mixed drinks and so on. In addition to drinking less alcohol, daily protection of the liver, but also from the diet, medication, lifestyle habits, to maintain good habits, comprehensive management, can make the liver less damage.

Liver is a very important digestive organ of the human body, not only in the secretion of bile, the metabolism of nutrients, absorption and transformation, but also in that it is a detoxification organ. If the liver is not good, the body will have a lot of problems, such as abnormal liver function, viral hepatitis, fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and even liver cancer. So you must pay attention to protect your liver in normal times.

What other points are important to protect your liver, besides not drinking alcohol?

There are many reasons for liver damage, most of which are caused by organic diseases, such as viral hepatitis, which can cause liver damage. However, there are also many bad habits in life will make the liver is very "injured", drinking is one of them, long-term alcoholism, liver cells can not regenerate to continue to suffer damage, will eventually lead to cirrhosis of the liver, or even liver cancer. So, in addition to drinking, what other factors?

1. Maintaining an appropriate weight

Obese patients are more likely to develop fatty liver. Do not underestimate the fatty liver, malignant down is said to be cirrhosis. Obesity is a major "culprit" of fatty liver. In addition, the metabolic disorders of lipid and glucose levels in obese patients increase the burden on the liver and make it easy for liver dysfunction to occur.

2. Light diet

To prevent liver disease, you must usually pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables, do not not eat meat or vegetarian. The standard diet should be three parts meat and seven parts vegetarian, do not eat too much fat meat, not also do not eat too much high cholesterol food. Eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, appropriate intake of protein and vitamins.

3. Increased exercise

In the daily exercise we can do some aerobic exercise, can promote the body's blood circulation function, accelerate the body's oxygen supply capacity, strengthen the liver organ detoxification capacity. In addition, exercise will also accelerate the consumption of energy glycogen consumption rate, improve the function of the liver organ, in turn, a healthy liver can also give to enhance the body's ability to exercise.

4. Tobacco and alcohol cessation

People who smoke and drink regularly are at a much higher risk of getting liver disease. Harmful substances in cigarettes, such as nicotine and other ingredients can cause damage to the liver, especially if the liver itself is damaged, coupled with smoking, then it can play a role in adding fuel to the fire, so it is important for people with liver disease to quit smoking.

5. Drink more water

Drinking more water can increase metabolism, enhance blood circulation, and also promote the secretion of glands, especially the digestive glands and pancreatic fluid and bile, in order to facilitate digestion, absorption and elimination of waste products, and reduce the damage of metabolites and toxins to the liver.

6. Maintain a good mood

We all know that anger harms the liver, usually try to be calm, optimistic and carefree, so that the liver fire is extinguished and liver qi is normally born and smoothly adjusted.

I am Dr. Huang Zhiyan, dedicated to explaining the complexity of disease knowledge in plain words to help you manage your body. Your praise is my greatest motivation! Also, if you have a family member who is struggling with liver health, please pass this article on to them!

The liver is a very important digestive organ, not only in the secretion of bile, but also in the metabolic "detoxification" of substances absorbed from the intestines in the liver. The first step of the substances absorbed in the intestines is to be processed by the liver before they are sent to all parts of the body through the heart, and diet is a major factor affecting the health of the liver.

• Various pollutants
  

Since the intestines are only responsible for absorption, the liver is responsible for purification, and the contaminants contained in the food need to be processed inside the liver. Some of the bad things contained in food are bound to hurt the liver first.

That similar to alcohol, many foods contain health-damaging contaminants such as benzo(a)pyrene in barbecue, aflatoxins in produce, macrocyclic substances in fried foods, and so on and so forth, all of which can damage the liver and even cause liver cancer.

• Nutritional imbalances
  

The liver not only purifies the substances absorbed from the intestines, but also assembles them appropriately so that the nutrients are suitable for the environment within the bloodstream and can flow with it through the blood vessels. Apolipoproteins and cholesterol secreted by the liver play a major role.

An unbalanced nutritional intake, such as a low or irrational protein intake that results in a deficiency of choline and methionine, can lead to a fatty liver, which is a tissue that loses liver function. Nutritional imbalances can also include excessive fat intake, or deficiencies in certain vitamins.

• Drug damage to the liver
  

There's a saying that it's a medicine that's poisonous, although it's not absolute, and actually makes sense for the same reason as the first pollutant mentioned.

Even to the extent that some drugs have no therapeutic effect per se, they are only metabolized by the liver and their metabolites have an effect.

Especially the complex system of drugs, which is represented by traditional Chinese medicine, is very complex in composition, and an herb contains potent components but also toxic components that can easily bring about liver toxicity.

The most common toxic side effect of many medications is liver toxicity, which simply means that it hurts the liver. So don't think of using Chinese medicine to nourish your body when you have nothing to do. Reducing the burden on the liver is nourishing the body.

Zhao Wei, Registered Dietitian, Member of NutriBulletin

As the most important detoxification organ of the human body, the importance of the liver to human health is self-evident, it can be said that the liver is to maintain life! However, modern people do not seem to care about their liver, often due to daily bad habits such as smoking and alcohol addiction, stay up late and so on and damage the liver, affecting their health. Some people ask, to protect their liver, in addition to not drinking alcohol, what other points are important? Today I will talk about how to protect your liver.

Protect your liver by keeping these points in mind in addition to not drinking alcohol:

(1) Do not take health supplements or abuse drugs indiscriminately:

Drug abuse is also a cause of liver damage. The main drugs that can cause liver damage are anesthetics, antimicrobials (isoniazid, rifampicin, ketoconazole, sulfonamides), antiepileptic/convulsant drugs, NSAIDs/antipyretics, azole antifungals, statins to regulate blood lipids, sartans antihypertensives, labetalol, nicotinic acid, propylthiocytoxanil, salicylates, ethanol, quinidine, methyldopa, and others. Therefore, medications must be taken in strict accordance with medical advice.

(2) Avoid eating and drinking and control your weight:

Eating too much will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, thus inducing fatty liver. Eating and drinking will not only damage the health of the gastrointestinal tract, but also lead to a significant increase in free radicals in the body. An important role of the liver is to help the body to remove free radicals, eliminate toxins and purify the blood, the more free radicals in the body, the higher the degree of damage to the liver.

(3) Reduce intake of processed and fried foods:

Food additives (preservatives, colorings, artificial sweeteners, etc.) contain some chemicals that are more difficult for the human body to break down, and once they enter the human body, they will increase the detoxification pressure on the liver, thus inducing liver damage. Fried food is rich in oil and saturated fatty acids, and excessive intake of oil and saturated fatty acids can easily lead to fatty liver. Therefore, eating less fried food can effectively protect your liver.

(4) Eat more food that nourishes and protects the liver.

Eating more vitamin C-rich fruits such as lemons and oranges helps the liver oxidize and detoxify. Lemon, in particular, protects liver cells from free radical damage, effectively promotes protein synthesis, and accelerates the repair and regeneration function of liver cells. Meanwhile, blueberries, strawberries and other berries are rich in anthocyanins, polyphenols and other substances with antioxidant effects, which can help the liver to protect the body's cells from free radicals and oxidative stress attacks.

summarize

Protect your liver, in addition to not drinking alcohol, should also do: do not eat and drink, eat breakfast on time, do not abuse drugs, reduce the intake of processed food, eat less fried food, often eat healthy liver food, at the same time, try to avoid staying up late, although it is said that there is no direct link between staying up late and liver disease, but after all, staying up late leads to a decrease in the body's immune system, which may lead to liver disease, and if it is infected with the hepatitis virus, staying up late may even aggravate the condition. If you are already infected with the hepatitis virus, staying up late may even aggravate your condition.

At the same time, it is very worth reminding is that modern people on the one hand in the work pressure need to stay up late, at the same time in order to maintain health will also buy a variety of liver health care products, but exactly sometimes, this behavior will cause double damage, because health care products are also metabolized by the liver, long-term large quantities of food may lead to the liver burden process, resulting in liver injury.

To protect your liver, in addition to not drinking alcohol, you should also look down on gains and losses, relax your mind, and try not to sulk; if you sulk a lot, it will also harm your liver.

My colleague Qing, who never smoked, drank or stayed up all night, did not eat spicy, stimulating and greasy food, and insisted on exercising, died of liver cancer before he was 60 years old. People don't understand why he got liver cancer when he was very concerned about liver protection. I know why, he was too calculating, too much emphasis on gains and losses, often sulking, can not eat, can not sleep, accumulated depression into a disease, not liver cancer is strange.

For example, he was married for several years without a child, some people joked that he had physiological problems, angry for a few years, see people to explain that he has no physiological problems, individual shameless colleagues said that he must have done something hurtful, destined to this life after the break, angry with his verbal blood, to the hospital to rescue.

Another example is that one year, 4% of the workers in the unit got a one-tier salary increase, Qing did not get a one-tier salary and thought that the leadership intentionally screwed him up, looking for the leadership to make a fuss, and the leadership explained that only those who were recognized as the advanced workers at the end of the year were qualified to get a one-tier salary increase.

He came back and asked me (I was the team leader at that time) why I didn't give him the first prize. I said that last year you are advanced, a salary increase of one level, can not be advanced every year, every year salary increase, and you this year you are not as good as others, he cried two, three hanged, not to achieve the goal will not stop, I gave him 600 yuan out of his own pocket, as compensation, he did not make a fuss.

For example, at that time, during the Spring Festival, the organization had to send out some fruits, rice, noodles, oil, etc., and everyone had a share, so they went to the finance office to collect them themselves, and Qing picked them out left and right (in fact, all of them were the same), and went home satisfied. But the next day he brought the fruit to the finance office, said his box of fruit rotted a lot, asked for a replacement, the finance office said, all the issued, there is no replacement.

He looked, indeed did not find extra, carrying fruit angrily looking for a hand to complain, saying that the financial office of the people to buy fruit to the second best, certainly ate the kickback. A hand said that his box of fruit is still in the office, told Qing to go to change his box, Qing justified the change, open a look at the rotten more, carrying their own fruit away.

Also for example, one day, Qing and seven, eight colleagues at the gate outside to eat beef noodles, Qing finished, a colleague told him to buy the single, down to WeChat to him, Qing is not good to refuse, had to do. After a few days, colleagues forgot to transfer money to him, he was too good to ask for, that time depressed, sighing.

A month later, couldn't stand it anymore, found that coworker to ask him to advance the noodle money, that coworker kept saying that he forgot about it, and was really sorry, and immediately gave the money, and only then did Qing cheer up. However, since then, he never advanced any expenses for others, even if a dollar for the bus, a few dollars for parking fees, but also unwilling.

As the saying goes, sulking hurts the liver, a person's mind is not good, calculating, valuing personal gains and losses, distracted, unable to put down, suspicious, often sulking, depressed, certainly hurt the liver.

Therefore, in order to have a good liver, in addition to not drinking and not staying up late, you should also have an understanding, calm, tolerant and pleasant mindset, otherwise, even if you don't drink a drop of alcohol, you will still suffer from liver cancer and pass away early, just like Ching.

Food Farmer II, a family affair, FYI, thanks!

Liver is one of the most important organs of the human body, whether it is digestion, metabolism, or detoxification, immunity, the liver plays an important physiological function, many friends should be to protect the health of their liver, but also know that drinking alcohol will harm the liver health, want to protect the liver to protect the liver, we should try to limit the consumption of alcohol, but in addition to limiting the consumption of alcohol, we have to protect their livers in what ways?

Weight control is important for liver protection

A lot of obese friends, go to the health checkup, will find the problem of fatty liver, liver is an important organ of lipid metabolism synthesis, therefore, the body's lipid metabolism problems, first of all, is also affected by the liver. Obese people, due to the accumulation of fat in the body, it is easier to cause the liver for lipid metabolism burden increased, affecting liver health. In addition to fatty liver, will also affect the insulin sensitivity, resulting in increased blood sugar, these are closely related to the impact of obesity on liver health.

Therefore, want to protect their liver, the first thing should be to correct the body's excess energy problem, control of obesity is particularly important, for the problem of obesity, especially abdominal obesity situation of friends, must strengthen the control of body weight and waist circumference, very often, weight control down, mild fatty liver will also reverse the disappearance.

It's important to maintain a balanced nutritional profile to protect your liver

Liver is an important organ of digestion and metabolism, therefore, the importance of balanced dietary nutrition and health for liver health is very high. Some friends like to eat junk food, some indigestible lipids intake is too much, or frequent intake of high sugar, such practices, not only is not conducive to weight control, but also will not be conducive to the health of the liver.

There is also a situation that should not be ignored is that some of the friends in order to lose weight, or diet to regulate the disease of friends, excessive dieting, resulting in unbalanced nutritional intake, especially protein intake is too small, the body is seriously lack of nutrients in the case of the same will also affect the health of the liver, due to excessive dieting caused by fatty liver and liver health hazards, is also worth noting.

Therefore, if you want to maintain good liver health, we must reasonably control dietary nutrition, neither nutritional process causes metabolic burden, nor nutritional deficiencies affecting liver health, daily to maintain reasonably adequate vitamin and protein nutritional supplementation, for liver health is very important.

Liver protection, it is recommended to adhere to reasonable exercise exercise

What does exercise and workout have to do with the liver? As a matter of fact, exercise and workout are good for improving the metabolic function of the body, regulating body weight, improving insulin resistance, improving fatty liver and other problems. If you are physically fit and do not have the habit of exercising, you may want to exercise moderately, maintain a reasonable exercise program and adhere to it for a long period of time, which is also conducive to the health of the liver.

Exercise exercise on the one hand should pay attention to gradual, on the other hand, we should also pay attention to adhere to, three days a week time to exercise, long-term adherence, than adhere to the daily exercise, only one month of exercise, for the benefit of the health of the body to be a lot better, only reasonable, long-term adherence to the exercise exercise, can better play the effect of liver health care.

Protect your liver and avoid taking drugs and supplements indiscriminately

The liver is an important metabolic organ of the body, the vast majority of oral medications and health products into the body, the first to go through the liver's "first-pass effect", to be able to further play a role, and there are many drugs that are hepatotoxicity, or have the possibility of affecting the function of the liver of the adverse reaction, therefore, want to protect the liver, the important thing is: do not take medicines, health products. Therefore, if you want to protect your liver, it is important that you don't take medicines and health products indiscriminately.

For drugs and health care products, mainly to emphasize that do not "eat", many friends want to eat something, as if the disease can be cured, no disease, strong body, in fact, this idea is not to be, there is no question of indiscriminate consumption of drugs, but may be eaten out of other problems, such examples are common, I hope that we pay extra attention to, and indiscriminate consumption of medicines! Health care products, the most harmed is our liver.

If our body does have disease problems, really need to take drugs, the drug of course still have to eat, if the selected drugs may be liver health damage, pay attention to regular review of liver function is particularly important, usually if you can be in the early stage of liver function damage in a timely manner to stop the drug, often compensating for the powerful liver, liver function can be restored, but if you don't care about it, resulting in irreversible liver function However, if left unattended, resulting in irreversible drug liver injury, it will be too late.

Liver protection, good hygiene and vaccinations

To protect your liver health, besides controlling the diet, exercise and medication aspects of your life, you should also pay attention to protecting your liver from viruses. There are many kinds of hepatitis viruses, the most common are hepatitis A and hepatitis B viruses. Hepatitis A virus is mainly transmitted through fecal-oral transmission, while hepatitis B virus is mainly transmitted through blood transmission, sexual transmission, and mother-to-child transmission, especially chronic hepatitis B. Once infected, it is usually very difficult to be cured, so if you want to protect your liver health, you also need to pay attention to minimize the risk of contracting hepatitis viruses.

Want to try to hepatitis virus infection, on the one hand, we must develop good hygiene habits, hand washing, pay attention to dietary hygiene, try to reduce the chances of transmission of the virus, but also by way of vaccination to strengthen immunity, reduce the risk of infection, for the friends who have been vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine, do not think that it must be once and for all, regular examination of hepatitis B five, if you find that the antibody disappeared, we must pay attention to the re-inoculation! In order to restore the body's immunity to the hepatitis B virus.

Why do people need to protect their liver?

Because the liver is like a chemical plant, it has many functions.

High liver regeneration capacity and potential.

Detoxification Function:It is able to convert foreign poisons and poisons produced by the human body into non-toxic substances through binding, decomposition and oxidation.

Phagocytosis of bacteria, pigment, or blood debris is equivalent to performing an immune function.

Involved in the metabolism of nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats and vitamins in the body.

Inactivation of estrogen and antidiuretic hormone.

Synthesizes certain clotting substances involved in hemostasis.

Produces bile that is secreted to aid in the digestion of fats as well as to aid in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.

Involved in hematopoiesis, it can be involved in regulating blood circulation when the body is experiencing hemorrhage.

Because the liver has many of these important functions, it is very urgent and important to protect our liver, so how should people protect our liver?

Before answering this question, let's look at some of the causes of liver damage.

Drinking alcohol over a long period of time or in large quantities at one time, also known as heavy drinking, hurts the liver.

Experiencing hepatitis virus infections, such as the more common hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus.

Long-term use of liver-injuring drugs, such as the oral anti-tuberculosis drug isoniazid, the use of the chemotherapy drug methotrexate, the use of the antipyretic drug paracetamol (acetaminophen, an antipyretic with no anti-inflammatory effect, which works in a similar way to aspirin), as well as certain liver-injuring traditional Chinese medicines.

Prolonged or repeated exposure to industrial chemical toxins or agricultural chemical toxins such as carbon tetrachloride, arsenic, and organophosphorus pesticides.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease caused by prolonged high-fat diet, high-cholesterol diet, or prolonged high-calorie diet, obesity, diabetes, high blood cholesterol, prolonged fasting while giving intravenous nutritional infusions, and medications.

Auto-factors, common ones are congenital genetics, autoimmunity.

Infections such as parasitic schistosomes, bacteria.

Cardiopulmonary pathology leading to prolonged liver stagnation, e.g., chronic heart failure, chronic pulmonary heart disease, etc.

Eating foods rich in nitrosamines over a long period of time or eating peanut oil, peanuts or corn contaminated with aflatoxin.

Bad life and work habits and bad emotions, long-term late nights, anger hurts the liver, not enough exercise or do not like to exercise, overwork, etc..

As you can see from the above factors that damage the liver, it is important to protect your liver by not drinking alcohol, but also the following points.

Prevention and control of hepatitis virus infection, active treatment of viral hepatitis, and hepatitis B vaccination to prevent hepatitis B.

Avoid long-term use of medications that are harmful to the liver.

Take personal precautions or avoid prolonged or repeated exposure to liver-damaging chemical toxins.

Do not use unorthodox health products and unorthodox folk remedies.

Limit intake of nitrosamine-rich foods.

Reasonable dietary arrangements, limit the intake of high animal fat food, high cholesterol food, high calorie food, avoid eating too spicy or too hard food, maintain normal blood sugar, blood pressure and blood lipids, prohibit moldy food, especially can not eat food contaminated by aflatoxin.

Prevent schistosomiasis infections, avoid contact with infected water, and take personal precautions when going into the water in infected areas to avoid contamination of water sources through feces and other means.

Change the bad mood, maintain a good state of mind and emotional stability, avoid long-term repeated anger, regular life, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, pay attention to the self-reduced pressure, avoid overwork and long-term late-night sleep, sleep enough and good, according to their own situation, appropriate physical exercise, in order to improve the resistance.

The liver is actually a detoxifying digestive organ, similar to a garbage disposal station, which cleans out all the toxins produced by the body. Therefore, what we have to do is not to increase the burden on the liver, don't take medicines indiscriminately, and don't take health supplements indiscriminately, because all these things are metabolized by the liver into non-toxic substances, or else they will cause liver function abnormalities. In addition, do not eat too much greasy food, meat, fried food, etc., because there is an organ behind the liver called the gallbladder, the gallbladder will secrete a certain amount of bile used to assist in the digestion of oily food, eat too much greasy food will cause indigestion, not eat in the morning folks should pay attention to, because there is no food in the case of the bile will be secreted, so that bile has no place to play, day after day, it will be formed! The gallstones will be formed as a result of the accumulation of time. Lastly, I would like to remind you to test your liver function on a regular basis, especially for patients with chronic diseases who need to take medications for a long period of time, because the medications that you eat need to be metabolized into non-toxic substances by the liver, and the liver has a large amount of workload, and over time, the liver may become overburdened, resulting in liver function abnormalities. People with severe liver function abnormalities will have a yellowish color and yellowish sclera of the eyes (normal sclera should be porcelain white).

I know a friend, a woman, who doesn't smoke or drink and eats a light diet, but she was diagnosed with liver cancer at a young age, and the reasons for that are also very complex, and this liver cancer doesn't just occur in people who drink alcohol.

The liver is a vital organ of the body, and liver lesions are becoming more common.

We are all familiar with hepatitis B, cirrhosis and liver cancer. These diseases are not easy to treat, and patients with cirrhosis in the middle and late stages and liver cancer are in great pain.

But one very powerful function of the liver is repair.

This function of the heart and brain is not there, so when the heart and brain are diseased, time is life.

Although the liver has a strong repair function, if the damage function is greater than the repair, and also poor rest, etc. will not be able to repair the liver well, and the natural lesions will occur over time.

So protecting our liver means avoiding its damage.

Protecting your liver requires avoiding a high-fat diet.

Excessive fat intake can easily lead to the development of fatty liver in the human body, and causing fatty liver is not a one-day or two-day process.

Think of all the fat attached to our liver, would that metabolism be any better, naturally.

Protecting your liver means getting good rest.

When the liver is well rested, it is metabolized and functions well, and some of the little things that hurt the liver in our lives can be slowly repaired.

But young people like to stay up late and overeat, how do these let the liver rest.

When you work hard for a long period of time, your liver wants to rest, and without time to rest, it will definitely find a way to be lazy, and naturally, lesions will occur.

Protecting the liver means not letting it mutate

What is a mutation, a mutation is cancer, and the process of developing cancer can be fast or slow, depending on our triggers.

Large amounts of stimulating foods over a long period of time, and large amounts of alcohol over a long period of time, this damage to the liver is ongoing, and the liver can't take it, and naturally needs to change its function to adapt.

No exercise in the body metabolism slows down, fat accumulation in the liver, in this way, the liver fat is more and more, coupled with our usual diet of large amounts of excessive fat intake, repeated accumulation, the liver fat more and more, slowly lesions, cirrhosis of the liver, liver cancer is coming.

Moldy foods also have a very large impact on the liver, like aflatoxin in moldy peanuts, which accumulates directly in the toxic effect point organ is the liver.

These intake more, toxin accumulation to a certain extent, will naturally cancer. So touch moldy food, it is best to discard, of course, some moldy food, the appearance is not visible, we need to learn to pick moldy food tips.

Hepatotoxic drugs causing liver lesions are also increasing, and it is very clear that drugs hurt the liver. So don't abuse drugs.

When I get sick, I want to get better faster, I increase the dose of the drug, the effect must be doubled, in fact, this increased dose may be several times more damaging to the liver.

So be careful with your medication, don't abuse it and use it willy-nilly.

Protecting your liver means eating a light diet

This is something many people fail to do, look at what our liver metabolizes, it metabolizes proteins, fats, vitamins, carbohydrates.

That's why it's great to eat more vitamin-rich green leafy vegetables and fruits.

At the same time a low-fat, low-salt diet and abstaining from smoking and limiting alcohol are very good for liver protection.

If hepatitis occurs, the continued consumption of alcohol will, of course, shorten the time of cirrhosis induction, so the presence of liver lesions requires abstinence from alcohol.

Summarize: protect the liver is very simple, the key it this lesion is a slow process, many people are easy to ignore, and really appear liver symptoms, this time to think of ways, some have been late, so let the liver rest, do not overstimulate the liver, is the best protection.
