How to avoid liver disease patients is a problem that many liver disease patients are more concerned about.
Today we talk about this topic. Let's take a look first
General contraindications in patients with liver disease.
1. Avoid drinking alcohol
As early as 2500 years ago, the "Lingshu On Yong" said: "The essence of the wine-eater Mizutani (the essence of water and cereals), the liquid of the cooked grain (the juice brewed by the cooked grain), its qi is fierce, and when it enters the stomach, it is bloated (bloating and stuffiness), the qi is reversed (panic, wheezing, coughing), the chest is full (the heart is stuffy), the liver is floating and bile (hepatomegaly, the bile is depressed)... ”。
The Su Qing Shu Theory says: "If you are full of food, the qi gathered in the spleen must not be dispersed, the wine qi and the valley qi fight, the heat is in the middle, so the heat is all over the body, and the internal heat is drowning (the body is annoying, the urine is red). ”
Patients with chronic liver disease drinking alcohol is tantamount to drinking poison, after drinking alcohol is quickly absorbed into the blood, most of which is metabolized in the liver, drinking alcohol can directly stimulate and damage liver cells.
2. Avoid moldy food
Aflatoxin is the strongest known carcinogen and can induce liver cancer by interfering with the synthesis of RNA and DNA.
Aflatoxin mainly contaminates grain and oil foods, such as peanuts, corn, rice, nuts, etc.; because these foods contain nutrients that aflatoxin "likes" (starch, protein, fat, etc.).
Long-term consumption of foods containing low concentrations of aflatoxin, in addition to inducing liver cancer, can also induce stomach cancer, rectal cancer, breast cancer and small bowel cancer.
3. Avoid indiscriminate use of supplements
Dietary balance is the basic condition for maintaining good health, such as improper use of supplements, dysfunction of the internal organs, breaking the balance, and affecting health.
4. It is not advisable to eat too much sweets
Eating too much sweets, excess nutrition causes fatty liver, too much fat in the body will create an environment that promotes cancer through hormones such as insulin, insulin-like growth factor and estrogen, while obesity also increases the risk of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes Metabolic abnormalities, and severe will develop into cirrhosis and liver cancer.
5, should not eat more deep processed food, canned, instant noodles, sausages,
Deep-processed meat products are not only not fresh, but also artificially add nitrites, table salt and other food additives.
High salt is also a "health killer", which will accelerate the aging process of the body by reducing the vitality of cells.
After smoking and frying, meat products will also produce carcinogens such as heterocyclic amines and benzopyrene due to the influence of high temperatures. Regular consumption of processed meat products increases the risk of gastrointestinal tumors such as liver cancer and colorectal cancer.
6, eat less greasy, fried food
Such high-fat foods can cause weakened digestive function, and in severe cases, malabsorption steary diarrhea will occur; too much fat deposited in the liver is easy to form fatty liver; in addition, repeated frying of food contains carcinogenic substances nitrite, which can easily induce cirrhosis and liver cancer.
7. Eat less pickled foods:
For example, kimchi, sauerkraut, pickles, etc.
Pickled foods usually have a high content of nitrite compounds, and nitrite compounds are recognized as one of the three major cancerous substances in the world, which can be partially converted into harmful substances such as nitrosamines after entering the human body, destroying the body's antioxidant capacity, resulting in a decrease in the body's resistance and immunity, and causing an increased risk of cancer.
Because the salt content of pickled food is too high, it will affect the water and sodium metabolism of patients with liver disease.
8, eat less spicy
No studies have found that chili peppers can directly cause liver damage, but peppers can cause irritation of the digestive tract, which aggravates the complicated digestive tract problems in patients with chronic liver disease.
If the chronic hepatitis phase is not accompanied by diseases of the gastrointestinal mucosa, peppers can generally be consumed in small amounts.
Patients with cirrhosis, especially those with decompensated cirrhosis, are mostly accompanied by different degrees of portal hypertension gastric disease, and in severe cases, they may be accompanied by ruptured bleeding from varices of the gastrointestinal gastric valves. If the capsaicin contained in the pepper directly acts on the gastrointestinal mucosa, it can stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa to be hyperemic and edematous, and in severe cases, it can cause heartburn, abdominal pain and other uncomfortable feelings, which can further aggravate the original damage, so for such patients, it is not recommended to eat pepper.
What are the dietary contraindications for different liver diseases?
1. When the liver is inflammatory, patients should not eat too much greasy food and do not eat raw and cold brine vegetables, so as not to cause intestinal infection and aggravate the damage to the liver. It is advisable to eat high-protein, high-vitamin foods, and the intake of carbohydrates should be moderate, not too much.
2. Patients who drink alcohol together should strictly abstain from alcohol.
3. Patients with elevated blood sugar need to appropriately restrict staple foods, do not drink sugary drinks, and do not eat fruits with high sugar content.
4. Patients with fatty liver and high blood lipids should have a low-fat, low-calorie diet.
5. For acute stage, active period, especially jaundice stage hepatitis patients, most of them have a loss of appetite and anorexia, at this time the diet should be light, and maintain enough calories, but pay attention to appropriate supplementation of protein, such as milk, eggs, lean meat, fish, tofu, mushrooms, etc.
6. For patients with cirrhosis, the examination prompts varicose veins of the esophagus and gastric base, and it is necessary to pay attention to eating soft, less residue, easily digestible foods, such as dragon's whisker noodles, rice porridge, minced meat, etc., and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Celery, bamboo shoots, and rough, indigestible foods such as fried foods, beef cubes, and chili peppers with coarse fiber should be avoided. Failure to do so can trigger gastrointestinal bleeding.
7. Patients with cirrhosis of the liver with ascites should have a low-salt diet, otherwise the ascites will increase and it will not be easy to subside.
8. For patients with severe hepatitis and hepatic coma tendency, it is necessary to give a low-protein diet to prevent protein foods from producing too much ammonia when the intestine is decomposed, and aggravate the poisoning of ammonia to the brain when the liver coma occurs.
