The most damaging to the liver is not drugs or alcohol, but something most inconspicuous that many people do every day! The liver is an important organ in the human body, responsible for synthesis and metabolism. World Health Organization data shows that one in every ten people has liver disease. What causes liver disease? Of course, factors such as drug use and alcohol consumption can harm the liver, but the primary factor is this – in surveys of patients with liver disease, nine out of ten are extremely irritable. So, have you understood the causes of liver disease? People are prone to anger, anxiety, and depression, and these negative emotions can lead to liver dysfunction. Depressed individuals often have stagnant liver qi, while irritable individuals may have liver qi rising and liver yang hyperactivity, both of which can harm the liver. As the saying goes, eat what nourishes. Therefore, it is advisable to consume more pig liver to replenish your liver and try to stay calm and happy every day.
