The liver has a very high status among the human internal organs, and traditional Chinese medicine calls it "general". Modern medical research shows that the main functions of the liver are metabolizing toxins, synthesizing proteins, energy and digestion. Therefore, once the liver has problems, it will have serious health consequences.
However, the liver is also a very delicate organ in the human body, which is easily damaged. In addition, the liver does not have painful nerves, so it cannot be caused by the human body as soon as possible if there is any problem, so the liver is very prone to problems. The most common one is hepatitis . If the control is not timely, it will easily be converted to cirrhosis . Studies have shown that 80% of liver cancer are produced on the basis of cirrhosis. Therefore, preventing cirrhosis is an important part of liver maintenance.
The liver becomes hard and the body will experience the following 3 abnormalities:
is prone to bleeding. After cirrhosis, the secretion of clotting factors and thrombin in the liver will be reduced, so the body often experiences some unexplained bleeding. For example, nose bleeding is repeated, bleeding when brushing teeth, blood stasis in the skin, and even hematoma. These symptoms are all symptoms after cirrhosis.
The urine is yellow. Under normal circumstances, the color of the human body's urine is light yellow or colorless. If dark yellow or thick tea-like colors appear, it is very likely that liver cells have serious damage or even "signals" of cirrhosis.
This is because after the liver becomes hard, it will cause serious problems in bilirubin decomposition. These undecomposed bilirubin will be excreted with the urine, thereby deepening the color of the urine. If it is accompanied by abnormal taste, the chance of liver lesions will be very high.
There is a lump in the abdomen. Spleen enlargement is one of the symptoms that most patients with cirrhosis have. When the spleen is enlarged, whether you are lying flat, sitting or standing, you will obviously feel uncomfortable symptoms under the ribs.
If the body has the above symptoms, especially those who already suffer from liver diseases such as fatty liver and hepatitis, you must go to the hospital for examination in time.
Protecting the liver should start with daily life. Please do the following 4 things:
insist on diet therapy. This is the most basic way to protect and help treat liver disease . Among the foods we eat, many are very beneficial to the liver, such as green vegetables, fresh fruits, etc. By eating these foods reasonably, the efficacy of the liver can be effectively improved. This point is highly praised by both traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and the effect is also very good. Not only the liver, but also the body's care can be carried out through diet therapy.
Don't drink alcohol. Although drinking has become a food culture, whether it is a exchange of relationships between friends or social gatherings in business, they will drink. However, alcohol is the most harmful to the liver. If you want to maintain your liver well, you must quit drinking.
Especially for people who already have liver disease, drinking alcohol is tantamount to directly destroying the liver and will quickly aggravate the condition. Because alcohol is all metabolized by the liver, drinking for a long time will greatly increase the chance of cirrhosis.
drink more water. Drinking more water can speed up the body's metabolism of , bringing the toxins in the liver out of the body, thereby reducing the burden on the liver.
Sleep well and work and rest regularly. Staying up late, stressed, poor sleep, etc. are all liver-damaging behaviors. Therefore, you have to sleep for 8 hours every time and take a nap at noon. Be sure to fall asleep before 11:00 every night. Because from this point on, the liver begins to detoxify.
