Emphasize again and again: These two 'bad habits' are more harmful to the liver than drinking. I advise you to get rid of them as soon as possible.
There is a saying that "nourishing the liver first", the "general's official" in the five internal organs refers to the liver.
The liver is the center of human metabolism and has a very powerful metabolic function. The liver decomposes and transforms 80% of the toxic substances in the human body and is the main organ for detoxification.
The liver is also the largest digestive gland in the human body, and the bile secreted is an indispensable substance for gastrointestinal digestion of food.
The functions of the liver are far more than these. If the liver is not good, everything in the human body will be messed up. Bad habits in daily life are closely related to liver disease.
The doctor has repeatedly emphasized: drinking alcohol damages the liver, stay away as soon as possible
As we all know, drinking alcohol is very harmful to the liver.
Alcohol contains a lot of ethanol. When ethanol enters the body, 5% ethanol goes to the lungs and leaves the body with breathing.
5% goes to the kidneys and leaves the body with urine. The remaining 90% of ethanol will enter the liver, which will be decomposed and transformed by the liver, increasing the burden on the liver. Long-term heavy drinking is likely to induce alcoholic liver disease.
In addition, ethanol undergoes oxidation in the human body to form acetaldehyde.
Acetaldehyde is not only difficult to metabolize, but also forcibly combines with proteins when encountering proteins to form acetaldehyde-protein conjugates. After the protein and acetaldehyde are combined, the protein is "attenuated", and it is difficult to complete its own work. If the liver is not done by "people", there will be major problems in liver function.
"Two" vices that hurt the liver more than drinking
- Stay up late for a long time
With the advancement of science and technology, while making people's lives more convenient, it also has a lot of bad influences. Such as: staying up late to look at the phone, etc.
"When a person moves, blood is transported to the meridians, and when a person lies down, blood returns to the liver"
23:00-1:00 is the time when the liver is most active. When you sleep peacefully at night, it is also the time when the liver blood circulation is the most active, which can quickly repair damaged liver cells and accelerate the regeneration of liver cells.
And staying up late not only increases the burden on liver cells, but also is not conducive to the self-repair of the liver. For patients with liver disease, staying up late will only aggravate the condition, so try to avoid staying up late and stay in bed more.
- Too economical
Saving is the virtue of our nation, but excessive saving will only be worth the loss.
It's "dog days" now. In hot weather, food can easily spoil if stored for a long time. Many middle-aged and elderly people are reluctant to throw them away in order to save money.
As everyone knows, one of the most toxic and carcinogenic natural mycotoxins is in spoiled food.
After entering the human body, aflatoxin will be distributed in large amounts in the liver, kidney and blood. Thereby promoting the incidence of liver diseases such as liver cirrhosis and liver cancer.
Frugality is good, but spoiled food must not be touched. We can be frugal by cooking less when cooking and buying less when buying food.
Prevent liver disease, start from daily
- Drink tea often
Drinking tea regularly can replenish water to the body in time, promote metabolism, and improve the efficiency of liver detoxification.
If you want a healthy liver, you can drink more chrysanthemum tea. Such as: Chili Chrysanthemum
Zhili chrysanthemum is produced in Huaiqing Prefecture (now in Jiaozuo, Henan Province) and belongs to the subspecies of Huai chrysanthemum. It is called "the noble of chrysanthemum" because of its protective effect on the liver. The entrance is more fragrant than ordinary chrysanthemum, and the aftertaste is sweeter.
Chrysanthemum contains substances such as selenium, flavonoids, and choline, which are all "little experts" for protecting the liver. In particular, the content of chili chrysanthemum is the most abundant.
Selenium: Resists most foreign viruses. It can also help the liver quickly repair damaged liver cells, known as the "protector of the liver", protecting liver tissue.
Flavonoids: inhibit the oxidation of liver tissue and delay liver aging. Increase the activity of liver SDO and reduce the formation of lipofuscin in the liver.
Choline: Its main function is to affinity fat, reduce the accumulation of fat in the liver, reduce the probability of fatty liver, and also have a good preventive effect on hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, etc.
It can be brewed with hot water of about 80 degrees, and a cup before going to bed can meet the needs of the human body.
- Eat less fried food
Fried food is crispy and delicious, and is loved by everyone, but its harm is also not to be underestimated.
Fried food contains a lot of oil, and regular consumption will cause excess body fat, which will accumulate in the body if it cannot be converted and decomposed in time.
Not only will it make the body fat, but it will also increase the burden on the liver and induce fatty liver.
After many foods are fried at high temperature, not only the nutrients will be destroyed, but the oil will also produce carcinogens after a long period of high temperature, which will induce liver cancer.
- Eat less pickled products
Nitrates in pickled products are seriously exceeding the standard. Nitrates are oxidized to nitrites after entering the human body.
Nitrite will synthesize nitrosamines in the body. Nitrosamines are carcinogens, and regular use is likely to induce liver cancer.
Pickled products also contain a lot of salt, and excessive intake will affect the metabolism of water and sodium in the body and increase the burden of liver metabolism.
Get vaccinated against hepatitis B.
Busy work, many people will ignore the hepatitis B vaccination to increase the chance of hepatitis B infection.
Suggestion: go to the hospital to check the "hepatitis B five items" every 5 years to check whether there is hepatitis B antibody in the body. If there is no hepatitis B antibody in the body, the hepatitis B vaccine should be vaccinated at the epidemic prevention station as soon as possible.
