The face is the "barometer" of human health, and as the saying goes, how clean the liver is, how clean the face is. People with healthy livers have ruddy and shiny complexions, while those with a healthy liver have dull complexions.
The liver is the largest detoxification organ in the human body, the main blood of the liver, once the liver is sick, it will affect the body's toxin metabolism, and it will accumulate in the body for a long time, which will be manifested from the face.
If there are 3 types of complexions, it is recommended to have a liver CT examination.
1.A dull complexion and darkening of the complexion may indicate chronic liver disease.
Impaired liver function reduces the metabolism of estrogen, and large amounts of estrogen accumulate in the body and are prone to pigmentation. Some patients with chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis have low adrenal cortex, which will lead to an increase in the secretion of melanocytes by the pituitary gland, causing pigmentation on the face, lips and other parts.
The specific manifestations are gray, black or sallow, dry and rough, brown pigmentation, etc. Chronic liver diseases such as chronic hepatitis B and cirrhosis may cause darkening of the face, which is clinically called liver disease facialis.
2.Spider angiomata, possibly cirrhosis.
Spider angiomata is a sudden telangiectasia that is formed by dilation of the ends of the branches of the arterioles. There is a central point in the center of the mole, surrounded by radiating small blood vessel branches, which are shaped like spiders, so they are called spider nevi, which are mainly distributed in the face and neck, chest, shoulders, upper limbs, etc.
The liver has the function of regulating and inactivating estrogen, if the liver is damaged, the ability to inactivate estrogen will decrease, resulting in the accumulation of estrogen in the body, which can make ** capillaries dilate and form spider nevi.
3.Panda eyes, possibly liver damage.
Short-term "panda eyes" are mostly caused by staying up late, which can be improved after sufficient rest, but long-term dark circles are the external manifestations of some chronic diseases, such as chronic liver disease, especially patients with long-term abnormal liver function and hepatomegaly.
Liver damage can lead to endocrine disruptions, obstruct blood circulation, and affect pigment metabolism, resulting in pigment deposition around the eyes, forming "panda eyes".
Master 5 methods and don't worry about "liver".
1.Increase protein and vitamin intake.
High-protein, low-calorie foods such as eggs, tofu, milk, fish, chicken, sesame, and pine nuts are the liver's favorites.
*The daily intake of high-quality protein should be more than 90 grams, for people with impaired and weakened liver function, eating more high-protein foods is more conducive to liver recovery. It is recommended to choose a protein powder rich in high-quality plant protein, which is low-calorie, low-fat, and cholesterol-free, which is healthier for the human body.
B vitamins are the "gas station" of the liver
B vitamins are like the "oil depot" in the body, which can accelerate the metabolism of substances, promote energy conversion, not only "refuel" the liver, but also repair liver function, prevent liver steatosis, and then play a role in preventing fatty liver. B vitamins can enhance the liver's tolerance to alcohol, thereby playing a role in protecting the liver, especially those who love to drink alcohol.
Because B vitamins dissolve in water and stay in the body for only a few hours, they must be replenished daily. Pork, soybeans, rice, shiitake mushrooms and other foods are rich in B vitamins, but it is difficult to consume them in sufficient amounts. You can choose some supplements appropriately, such as B vitamin tablets extracted from natural ingredients, and take into account the supplementation of vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12, niacin, pantothenic acid and other nutrients.
Vitamin A can fight liver cancerVitamin A can protect the liver, prevent and inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells in the liver, restore the function of normal tissues, and help reduce the incidence of cancer.
Normal**The recommended daily intake of vitamin A is a carrot, 65 grams of chicken liver, 200 grams of canned tuna or a glass of milk, and tomatoes, carrots, spinach, animal liver, cod liver oil and dairy products also contain high amounts of vitamin A.
Vitamin E prevents liver tissue from aging.
Studies have shown that vitamin E can play a role in stopping the aging of liver tissue. Malt, soybeans, vegetable oils, nuts, and leafy greens are all rich in vitamin E. **A daily intake of 12 mg of vitamin E is sufficient, equivalent to 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil, or 30-50 grams of nuts such as almonds, walnuts, and peanuts. If you have liver disease, you need to supplement at least 100 mg per day to meet your liver needs.
2.Eat a reasonable diet and eat more green foods to benefit liver qi metabolism.
Traditional Chinese medicine says: "Green enters the liver meridian", green food is beneficial to liver qi circulation and metabolism, and can also eliminate fatigue and soothe liver depression. Eat more dark or green foods can play a role in nourishing the liver and protecting the liver, such as broccoli, spinach, green apples, etc., control the intake of sugar and fat, eat less fried foods and sweets, and avoid overeating and excessive dieting.
3.Maintain good hygiene Xi to prevent infection.
Both hepatitis B and hepatitis C viruses are transmitted through blood, so be careful not to share personal belongings with others. Prudent use of all kinds of blood products, go to a regular hospital when sick**, use disposable syringes, and use strictly sterilized medical devices; Avoid going to informal tattoo parlors or beauty establishments.
4.Exercise and enhance liver function.
Exercise can not only strengthen muscles and bones, promote metabolism, reduce fat stored in the body, but also enhance anti-virus ability, have a strong inhibitory effect on viruses, prevent them from replicating, and strengthen their own immunity.
For patients with liver disease who are relatively stable, appropriate exercise can enhance the patient's physical strength, appetite, enhance resistance, improve psychological state, and is conducive to the recovery of liver disease.
5.Pay attention to physical examination and follow-up.
It is necessary to insist on a comprehensive physical examination every year, and it is recommended that patients with chronic viral hepatitis be rechecked every 6 months, and patients with cirrhosis should be rechecked every 3 months. The items of re-examination should include liver function, viral replication, alpha-fetoprotein and abdominal color ultrasound, etc., and patients over 35 years old should also have liver tumor markers checked.
