There is an old saying in Chinese: "what you eat makes up for what you eat", so many people think that eating more pork liver can help nourish the liver. Is it really? Does pork liver really have the effect of nourishing the liver?
Although pig liver contains certain nutrients, the cholesterol content of pig liver is actually very high. A pound of pig liver contains about 200 mg of cholesterol. For people with poor liver function, eating pork liver not only cannot increase the nutrition of the liver, but also increases the burden on the liver. If you suffer from fatty liver, eating pork liver often will worsen the condition.
In addition, pork liver is also rich in copper, containing 25 mg of copper per 100 grams. People with poor liver function cannot maintain the balance of copper. If you often eat pig liver and take in excess copper, it will lead to serious liver damage, resulting in liver ascites , hepatic coma , and even liver cirrhosis.
Therefore, neither patients with fatty liver nor other liver diseases should use pig liver to protect the liver.
In addition to pork liver, people with poor liver should eat less of these 4 kinds of vegetarian
