You can't get fat during the Spring Festival
The liver, known as the "human chemical factory", is responsible for a variety of important functions such as metabolism, detoxification, and energy storage in the human body. However, in modern life, many inadvertent habits are quietly harming our liver. It is often said that "overnight tea hurts the liver", but in fact, in addition to overnight tea, there are many common habits that are also harming our liver.
1. Excessive alcohol consumption.
Alcohol is a major "killer" of the liver. When alcohol enters the body, it is metabolized mainly through the liver. During the metabolic process, the liver produces some harmful substances, such as acetaldehyde, which can cause damage to liver cells. Long-term heavy alcohol consumption will lead to an increase in the burden on the liver, and serious diseases such as fatty liver, liver cirrhosis and even liver cancer will occur.
2. Overeating.
The pace of modern life is accelerating, and many people are used to overeating or excessive dieting. These unhealthy eating habits are all damaging to the liver. Overeating will increase the burden on the liver and affect the metabolic function of the liver. Excessive dieting, on the other hand, can lead to the accumulation of fat in the liver, resulting in fatty liver.
3. Drug abuse.
Drugs are the weapon of disease, but at the same time, they are also harmful to the liver. If drugs are abused, or if they are not used properly, they can increase the burden on the liver and even cause liver damage. Therefore, when we use drugs, we must follow the doctor's instructions and use them rationally.
Fourth, stay up late. Staying up late seems to have become a normal part of modern life. However, the damage to the liver from staying up late cannot be ignored. The liver repairs itself when it rests at night, and if you stay up late for a long time, the liver's self-repair function will be inhibited, resulting in impaired liver function.
5. Mood swings.
Mood swings can also affect the health of the liver. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that anger hurts the liver. If you are in anger, anxiety and other emotions for a long time, it will affect the excretory function of the liver, leading to stagnation of liver qi, which in turn affects the health of the liver.
6. Environmental pollution.
There are many substances that are harmful to the liver in the environment we live in, such as chemical products, pesticides, etc. Long-term exposure to these substances can lead to increased burden on the liver and even liver disease.
7. Unclean sex.
Unclean sex is an important way for the spread of the hepatitis virus. Hepatitis viruses can seriously affect liver health and even lead to liver cancer.
8. Long-term smoking.
Smoking produces many harmful substances that need to be metabolized through the liver. Long-term smoking will increase the burden on the liver and affect liver health.
To sum up, our liver is under pressure from many sources. To protect the liver is to protect our health. We should start from our daily life and develop good living habits to reduce the burden on the liver. At the same time, regular liver examinations are carried out for early detection and early liver disease. Let's work together to protect our liver health.
