High incidence of liver disease, starting to 'start' with children? Expert Advice: Do not eat this kind of food anymore!
In recent years, the level of medical care has been continuously improved, and China's medical level has been at the forefront of the world, but the prevalence of liver disease has not decreased but increased.
From the statistics, the prevalence rate of liver disease is increasing by 0.6% per year. Liver disease has even begun to attack "children". The proportion of children suffering from liver disease is also increasing year by year. This is largely the fault of parents.
On July 2, 13-year-old Nan Nan (pseudonym) was admitted to the hospital due to symptoms of food poisoning, and was accidentally diagnosed with chronic hepatitis, which was caused by eating fungus soaked for two days;
As early as June 2018, a family of three in Zhejiang was admitted to the hospital due to liver disease. 7-year-old Wenwen was admitted to the intensive care unit with liver failure. The cause of the disease was still fungus.
However, these shocking examples have not yet attracted the attention of parents. A search on the Internet shows that many children still suffer from liver disease due to improper eating habits.
In fact, the fungus itself is non-toxic, and it is aflatoxin that really hurts the liver! This is a mycotoxin with strong carcinogenicity. Among the currently known mycotoxins, its toxicity is the highest, and its damage to the liver is dozens of times that of potent poisons.
We know that fungal foods such as fungus and shiitake mushrooms need to be soaked before eating. Generally, it takes half an hour to soak. Many families soak a lot at a time for convenience. This method is not recommended.
If this kind of fungal food is soaked for too long, it is easy to produce Pseudomonas coco, which is the source of aflatoxin. In addition, it will also decompose oryzamic acid.
These two toxins are very harmful to the liver, and they are resistant to high temperatures. The general cooking temperature is not enough to destroy them.
What needs to be paid attention to is that the liver is very special. There is generally no pain in the early stage of the disease, and it is easy to be ignored. This is also the time when many liver diseases are discovered, and the condition is already very serious.
- Dark circles, dark complexion, dark lips
This is called "liver disease face", which is one of the typical symptoms of liver cirrhosis. After liver problems, more iron elements will enter the blood and circulate to the face with the blood, making the face appear black and purple, and the eyes with thin skin. Weeks, the black and purple performance will be more obvious, and in severe cases, the lips will also appear black and purple.
In addition, liver cirrhosis will also affect the normal metabolism of melanin, and more melanin will deposit on the skin, which will also lead to the appearance of liver face.
- Spider nevus, liver palm
Spider nevus is a red spider-like nevus that appears on the face and chest, while liver palm is a red plaque or spot on the thenar skin of the palm.
The reason for these two symptoms is the abnormal dilation of blood vessels caused by the increase of estrogen content in the body.
After liver disease, estrogen in the body cannot be inactivated in time, and its content increases, which will cause abnormal expansion of small subcutaneous blood vessels.
- Get up early and feel tired
After a night of rest, when we wake up in the morning, our body is most energetic. If we wake up early for a long time and feel weak, it is likely that there is a problem with the liver.
After liver lesions, the transaminase in the body rises, and the concentration of cholinesterase decreases, which will affect the nerve-muscle combination and control ability, thus causing fatigue, which is most obvious in the morning.
4, bad breath
There are many reasons for bad breath, and the bad breath caused by the liver is relatively special and easy to identify.
Liver disease will also affect the metabolism in the body. Ammonia, methyl mercaptan, etc. cannot be discharged in time, and they are stored in the body. When they are discharged with the breath, the breath will have a smell of bad eggs and the sweetness of fruit Mixed bad smell.
- Drink more tea
Drinking too much alcohol can damage our liver. It is recommended to drink less alcohol and drink more tea.
Add chrysanthemum to hot water and drink it after brewing. Many ingredients in chrysanthemum have a protective effect on our liver, such as: choline, flavonoids, selenium, etc. If you drink it regularly, your liver will be better.
Choline: clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing fire and combing stagnation, can reduce stagnation of liver qi;
Flavonoids: resist free radical damage to the liver and protect liver tissue;
Selenium element: helps detoxification, promotes repair, reduces liver toxicity and damage accumulation.
People with poor liver should drink it frequently, it can protect and nourish the liver to a certain extent, and the liver will thank you.
