Relevant data surveys show that in recent years, the incidence of chronic liver disease in China has shown an overall growth trend, and the total number of patients has reached nearly 400 million people.
Among them, the most high incidence is viral hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, fatty liver disease and other three categories. The incidence of cirrhosis and liver cancer developed by these diseases has also shown a multiplied trend.
The incidence of chronic liver disease is growing so rapidly, and the root cause behind it is directly related to everyone's daily poor life, eating habits, and unhealthy behaviors.
It should be known that although the liver is a detoxification and metabolic organ, the liver itself is also very fragile and sensitive, and improper behavior may cause liver damage.
Therefore, if you do not want liver disease to find you in the future, it is necessary to do the following:
1. Stay away from alcohol damage
Among all chronic liver diseases, one is called "alcoholic liver disease", which does not specifically refer to a liver lesion, which includes fatty liver disease, hepatitis, fibrosis and cirrhosis, cancer and other different stages.
Whether it is alcohol itself, or acetaldehyde, a substance produced by its metabolism, it has a certain toxic effect on liver cells, which can cause decreased liver function, liver cell damage and necrosis, and induce liver cell DNA to mutate.
Therefore, the first step to liver health is to quit drinking!
2, can not be short of water
Whether it is the organ itself, or the operation of the metabolic and detoxification system, it is inseparable from the help of water.
Water intake, not only to replenish body fluids, but also to speed up blood circulation and metabolism, stimulate the secretion of bile, digestive juices and digestive enzymes, and have certain benefits for food digestion and absorption, metabolism and discharge of harmful substances.
In clinical view, the daily water intake of adults should be maintained at about 1500-3000ml;
3. Regular sleep
From the perspective of TCM health, from 11 o'clock in the evening to 3 o'clock in the morning is the stage of liver self-regulation and repair, and a large amount of blood is concentrated in the liver, prompting liver cells to recover.
If you haven't fallen asleep at this time, it can be damaging to your liver health. From the perspective of modern medicine, long-term staying up late and lack of sleep will indeed affect the endocrine system and immune system, which in turn will increase the workload of the liver and lead to a decline in immune function.
Therefore, if you want a healthy liver, it is also necessary to maintain adequate sleep, it is recommended that everyone fall asleep before 11 o'clock in the evening every day and maintain 6-8 hours of sleep;
4. Eat regularly
The emergence of fatty liver disease is closely related to diet. Whether it is eating too much, eating too greasy, or excessive dieting, fasting, and only eating vegetarian food, it will have an impact on liver health, resulting in lipid metabolism disorders and fatty liver disease.
Therefore, if you want the liver to maintain a healthy state, it is necessary to maintain a scientific and healthy eating pattern, and everyone should regularly eat three meals at a time, and try to choose a light, nutritionally balanced food combination;
5. Scientific movement
Maintaining a regular and scientific exercise pattern not only helps to maintain weight and prevent fatty liver, but also accelerates blood circulation and metabolism, helps the liver to better detoxify and metabolize, reduce liver burden, improve the activity of the immune system, and increase the liver's ability to fight diseases.
Therefore, it is recommended that adults maintain physical exercise at least 3-4 times a week for more than 30 minutes each time.
In fact, it is not difficult to see from the above content that there is no shortcut to liver health maintenance, what we can do is to maintain a regular schedule, have scientific eating habits, regular exercise, etc., only in this way can the body operate in a normal state.
What needs to be reminded here is that if you have a long-term bad habit and a family history of liver disease, then even if you have improved your lifestyle, you should regularly seek medical treatment for liver health screening to avoid liver disease.
