During the Spring Festival, many people's original regular life has been broken, emotional fluctuations, irregular diet, big fish and meat, fried sweet, staying up late to drink, etc. These New Year's habits are precisely the taboos for liver disease patients.
At the same time as the festival, be sure to protect the liver!
Next, I will tell you a few tips for "be careful of the liver".
1. Never drink alcohol.
Although during the Spring Festival, family reunions, family fun, and drinking are essential at the dinner table, if you are a patient with chronic liver disease, you must pay attention to the absolute avoidance of alcohol, including white wine, foreign wine, beer and red wine mash are all taboo. The main component of wine is ethanol, which is metabolized to acetaldehyde after entering the human body, and ethanol damage to the liver involves a variety of mechanisms. If the patient has chronic liver disease in itself, coupled with the damage of alcohol, it will make it worse.
2, fatigue loss, avoid overwork and escape, do not stay up late.
During the Spring Festival, friends gather, chat and play cards, all kinds of entertainment is essential, liver disease patients should pay attention to avoid sedentary, but also to avoid overwork. Excessive exertion can reduce immune function, resulting in liver hypoxia, ischemia aggravated, and abnormal liver function with transaminases.
Staying up late can lead to lack of sleep. In order to make the liver cells repair well and help stabilize the condition, everyone is required to ensure adequate sleep.
3. Keep your mood comfortable.
Chinese medicine believes that the liver is the main drainage, and the qi machine is adjusted. The liver is particularly closely associated with emotional activity. Some patients with liver disease have long-term depression or anxiety, resulting in uncomfortable liver qi and blood, stasis of blood flow, and patients with liver disease should maintain an optimistic and open-minded and peaceful state of mind.
4. Pay attention to dietary hygiene
During the Spring Festival, many people gather every day to eat, eat a rich diet, liver disease patients should avoid raw and cold diet, do not eat leftovers, pay attention to dietary hygiene, to prevent the occurrence of intestinal infection, and intestinal infection is one of the most common causes of liver disease recurrence or liver disease exacerbation. Of course, patients with liver disease should also pay attention not to eat too much greasy food to prevent the occurrence of fatty liver and aggravate the original liver damage.
For patients with cirrhosis, pay attention to eating soft and rotten, easily digestible foods. Do not eat fried, dry, hard, irritating foods so as not to induce upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
For patients who have had hepatic encephalopathy, pay attention to eating foods with low protein and avoid eating too much meat to prevent the emergence of hepatic encephalopathy.
5. Keep warm and prevent colds.
Before and after the Spring Festival is also the spring season of the year, the weather is warm and cold, liver disease patients must do their own cold protection, according to the weather appropriate increase or decrease clothing, as little as possible to go to crowded public places, to prevent colds.
6. Insist on taking medicine
For patients with chronic liver disease who are taking medicine, do not stop the drug because of the Spring Festival. During the Spring Festival, one is relatively busy, and some patients are more superstitious, thinking that "the first to fifth day of the first year do not take medicine", which is not right. Antiviral drugs are required to be taken at a fixed time and cannot be stopped because of the Spring Festival, which will increase the risk of drug resistance.
If there are other diseases, such as: hypertension, diabetes, etc., the relevant drugs should also be taken and cannot be stopped casually. During the New Year, attention should also be paid to monitoring changes in blood pressure and blood sugar.
7. Avoid eating drugs indiscriminately
If you are unwell during the Spring Festival, if you are in the local area, you must inform the doctor that you have liver disease, avoid using drugs that damage the liver, it is best to consult a doctor who is familiar with your liver disease, which drugs can be eaten and can not be eaten.
