The liver belongs to the metabolic organs in the human body, and at the same time shoulders the role of digestion and detoxification, but in recent years, more and more people have suffered from various liver diseases, especially the incidence of alcoholic liver has shown an upward trend year by year. Once suffering from alcoholic liver, the patient's liver function will decline rapidly and will cause a series of uncomfortable symptoms such as the digestive tract.
If it is not treated early, it will lead to aggravation of liver function damage, and the probability of developing cirrhosis and liver cancer in the later stage will increase relatively. Therefore, in daily life, we must do a good job in preventing alcoholic liver.
So, what should you do to stay away from alcoholic liver? Below, let's take a closer look at it.
How to avoid having alcoholic liver?
1. Do not drink any alcoholic beverages
Long-term or heavy alcohol consumption is the basic cause of alcoholic liver disease. The more alcohol you drink, the longer you drink, the higher the probability of developing alcoholic liver disease. The ingredient in alcohol is ethanol, which needs to enter the liver for decomposition after entering the human body.
When the liver decomposes ethanol, it will produce a large amount of acetaldehyde, which will cause greater damage to the liver tissue and reduce liver function. And it will affect the conversion and decomposition of fat in the liver, which will cause a large amount of fat to accumulate in the liver, thus inducing the emergence of alcoholic liver disease.
Therefore, if you want to avoid alcoholic liver, you must not drink alcohol. Except for liquor, beer, wine, and all other alcoholic beverages are not allowed. Especially for women, once they drink alcohol for a long time, the risk of developing alcoholic liver is twice that of men.
Second, avoid the indiscriminate use of any drugs
Although alcohol consumption is the basic cause of alcoholic liver disease, if some other precautions are not taken in daily life, it will also affect the normal function of the liver and increase the probability of suffering from alcoholic liver, such as the use of some drugs for a long time.
The pharmacological components in drugs can cause liver function to be poisoned to a certain extent, thereby increasing the probability of developing alcoholic liver and other liver diseases. Therefore, no matter what kind of population, if you suffer from some diseases, you need to take medication under the guidance of a doctor, and you cannot take any drugs without permission.
It is not advisable to take some health care drugs, or various types of traditional Chinese medicines, as well as drugs for weight loss, breast enlargement, and whitening.
Third, avoid nutritional deficiencies
Once the body lacks some nutrients, such as high-quality protein, vitamin A, vitamin E, selenium, zinc and other nutrients, it will affect digestion, metabolism and detoxification functions, resulting in an increase in liver burden, and the probability of alcoholic liver and other liver diseases will be relatively increased.
Three meals a day must pay attention to the combination of various nutritional elements, whether it is plant food or animal food, should be balanced intake.
Fourth, maintain regular living habits
In particular, do not stay up late, once you stay up late for a long time, the detoxification function of the liver will decline, and it will not be possible to repair itself normally, thus affecting the normal operation of liver blood and greatly affecting liver function.
It is not possible to be in negative emotions for a long time, once there is long-term sulking, anxiety and other emotions, it will also lead to a rapid decline in liver function, thereby increasing the risk of suffering from alcoholic liver.
All in all, if you want to prevent the emergence of alcoholic liver, you must keep the above 4 points in mind. In addition, we should also pay attention to maintaining a healthy weight and not excessive obesity. Frequent consumption of strong tea, coffee, and smoking is also observed.
If there is repeated loss of appetite, abdominal distention, indigestion, jaundice, inexplicable bleeding of the body and other phenomena in the daily life, then a series of examinations must be carried out quickly. If it is caused by alcoholic liver, only early treatment can maximize liver health.
