With the acceleration of social pace, most people have developed unhealthy eating habits and daily routines, which directly harm our physical health, especially the health of our liver. Most people know that staying up late and drinking alcohol can cause significant damage to the liver, easily leading to alcoholic liver disease or cirrhosis. However, besides these two behaviors, in terms of dietary habits, such practices also harm our liver. In addition to damaging the liver by staying up late and drinking alcohol, these two “eating” behaviors also make the liver feel “afraid”.
In addition to damaging the liver by staying up late and drinking alcohol, there are two other “eating” behaviors that the liver is also “afraid” of, do not neglect them.
The most damaging behavior to the liver one: eating excessively greasy food.
We know that the liver plays a major role in metabolism and detoxification in our body. In fact, the human liver is also a digestive gland because the three nutrients that the human body can absorb—carbohydrates, fats, and proteins—are transported to the liver for metabolism and reuse. Therefore, if you eat too greasy food every day, it will increase the metabolic burden on the liver significantly, which is not conducive to liver metabolism and detoxification. This can lead to excess fat accumulation in the liver, potentially resulting in fatty liver disease. If severe, it could even lead to cirrhosis or liver cancer. Therefore, for the health of our liver and body, we must pay attention to a balanced diet in daily life, trying to consume lighter foods and avoiding overly greasy foods.
The most damaging behavior to the liver two: indiscriminate drug use.
The main function of the liver is detoxification. So, if the liver is unhealthy, toxins and waste will accumulate in the body, which is very harmful to the body. We all know that “medicine can be poison.” After drugs enter the body, most of them are metabolized and detoxified by the liver. If drugs are frequently and indiscriminately consumed, it will impose a significant burden on the liver, surpassing its metabolic and detoxification capacity. This can lead to the accumulation of toxins in the liver or blood, which is very harmful to the body’s health, potentially causing hepatitis, cirrhosis, and other conditions. Therefore, for the health of our liver, we must not indiscriminately use drugs in daily life. We must follow the guidance of a doctor, take medications as prescribed and in the right doses. Otherwise, if taken excessively and blindly, it can cause significant harm to the liver.
Therefore, for the health of the liver, it is essential to cultivate good daily routines and dietary habits, so that the liver will be grateful to you.
