1. Many people's liver disease is "dragged" out

Liver diseases are not uncommon in China. Various liver diseases, such as fatty liver, hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver cancer, etc., have troubled many people. In fact, many people's liver diseases are dragged out.

The liver has a powerful regeneration ability, and has 500 functions, which can carry out hundreds of chemical reactions, but the liver has no pain nerves, so even if the liver is damaged, it is difficult to feel the liver damage.

In daily life, frequent drinking, long-term intake of high-fat foods, drug abuse and other behaviors may cause liver damage and induce some liver diseases.

2. If there are 4 abnormalities in the hand, or the liver is calling for help

After the liver is damaged, it will send out a distress signal through different parts of the body. If the following abnormalities appear in the injury, it may be the distress signal sent by the liver.

1. Red spider naevi

If you find a spider-shaped red blood vessel mole on your hand, the middle color will turn white when you press hard, and the color will turn red after removing the pressure, then you should be careful about spider moles. Spider moles are a major signal of liver damage.

2. The palm turns red

The palm of a normal person should be evenly pale pink. If you find obvious redness and erythema in the thenar area of ​​the palm, it is a typical palm of the liver. The palm of the liver means that the liver is damaged.

3. Nails turn white

Whitening of nails may generally indicate that you have hepatitis B. Once targeted by hepatitis B, the blood-storage function of the liver will be affected, and even the blood supply of the peripheral limbs will be affected, and the nails will turn white.

4. White palms

In addition to red palms being a symptom of liver damage, white palms can also indicate liver abnormalities.

3. To protect the liver, do less than 5 things

Since the liver has no pain nerves, even if it is damaged, there will be no obvious symptoms. When symptoms occur, it will be too late. What we can do is to protect the liver from life and avoid the following things that damage the liver.

1. Alcoholism

Heavy drinking and frequent drinking are likely to increase the burden on the liver, and even induce alcoholic hepatitis, alcoholic liver cirrhosis and so on.

2. Overworked, often staying up late

Excessive fatigue and staying up late may cause the liver to miss the best time for nourishing the liver, fail to repair it smoothly, and even induce liver disease.

3. High-fat diet

Eating a high-fat diet regularly may lead to excessive accumulation of fat in the liver and even induce fatty liver.

4. Blind medication

No matter what kind of drug it is, it must be taken under the doctor's order. Indiscriminate use of drugs is likely to increase the burden on the liver and even cause liver damage.

5. Irritability, depression

Rage damages the liver, irritability, and depression may affect liver function and induce abnormal liver function.

Most people's liver disease is dragged out, and symptoms related to liver disease usually appear, so be vigilant and seek medical treatment as soon as possible. In order to protect the liver, it is usually best to avoid alcoholism, overwork, stay up late, eat greasy food, use drugs blindly, etc., and have a good attitude.
