In our body, the liver is a big model worker, and it depends on it for dirty and tiring work. Did you know that it handles more than 500 kinds of biochemical reactions every day, and can be said to be a giant chemical factory for the human body. But it will not be tired or painful, nor will it be lazy or lazy.
My colleague's mother, Aunt Wang, recently checked her liver function and found that the aminotransferase was increased a lot. The doctor said that the liver function was damaged, and she didn't feel anything, and she didn't know what bad habits she had damaged the liver.
The liver is very important. What bad habits can ruin our liver?
1. Love to eat fried foods
Like Aunt Wang, she likes to eat fried foods, such as eating fried dough sticks and oil cakes often. Because when cooking food with oil, free radical with extremely active chemical properties will produce, which will lead to abnormal liver function and the aminotransferase will increase.
study found that if you eat fried food for a month in a row, it will lead to liver function abnormality. Moreover, oils and saturated fatty acids can easily lead to the formation of fatty liver, which can also cause abnormal liver function.
2. Love to eat processed foods
Some daily diet like to buy processed foods and meat. These foods are mostly high in sugar, high in salt and high in oil, and there are many preservatives, pigments, flavors, and artificial sweeteners added.
Long-term consumption of these foods with more additives increases the burden on the liver and induces liver damage.
3. Taking medicine randomly
Many drugs need to be metabolized by the liver, because the liver is a main place for drug metabolism. Many drugs and metabolites of drugs will cause damage to the liver, which is the case of drug-induced liver damage to .
So when you are sick, you should take medication under the guidance of a doctor, and don’t take it casually. For common antibiotics and antipyretic and analgesic drugs, taking randomly may cause drug-induced liver damage to .
4. Other
The various harmful substances in tobacco are not only harmful to the lungs, but also cause different degrees of damage to the liver, and drinking alcohol can cause greater damage to the liver.
Because 95% of alcohol that drinks into the body requires liver metabolism, long-term excessive drinking will induce liver damage and various diseases.
There are also frequent bad moods, which are also very harmful to the liver, such as frequent sulking, low mood and anxiety, which leads to liver qi stagnation, , and thus affects the health of the liver.
Of course, it also includes eating moldy foods, which will cause varying degrees of damage to the liver.
How to check liver function?
Typical liver function tests include total protein, globulin, albumin , direct bilirubin, total bilirubin , glutamate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase , cholinesterase and other items.
Check the above indicators by drawing blood to determine whether the liver has a possibility of lesions.
When performing liver function examination, the subject should not eat any food 8 hours or more, and try to maintain a light diet the day before the examination to avoid affecting his examination results.
