Three meals a day, eating a good breakfast is the most important.
If you eat a nutritious breakfast, your body will be healthy. If you choose the wrong breakfast, it can also cause damage to the body, especially the liver.
To know that the liver is an organ for detoxification and synthesis of nutrients, eating breakfast is not good, and the damage to the liver is also the greatest.
The three types of everyone's favorite breakfast, can be called the "king of rotten liver", people with bad liver, advise you not to be greedy!
01
The first staple food: fried fried buns
Fried foods such as fried fried buns are high in calories and have a large oil content. The decomposition and metabolism of fats are indispensable to the participation of the liver, if the fat intake is too much, it is too late to metabolize, it will accumulate in the liver and form fatty liver.
Not only that, eating greasy food such as fritters for a long time is also easy to cause obesity, and even damage the gallbladder and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
In addition, food will produce moderately toxic benzopyrene when fried at high temperatures, and long-term consumption will damage liver cells and destroy liver tissue.
Now, very few people make their own fritters at home, most buy them outside. Moreover, the oil used externally for fried fritters is often reused, and the benzopyrene content inside is very high, which seriously damages human health.
In addition to traditional fritters and oil cakes, pastries such as cakes, egg tarts, pies, and cookies also contain a lot of oil, some even exceeding 80%.
02
Type 2: pickles
For convenience, many people will choose white porridge and pickles for breakfast, and start working after a few bites. This combination is actually the least nutrient-deficient. Salted vegetables contain a large number of condiments, which can produce nitrite, which enters the human body and combines with amines to produce nitrite amine.
03
The third type of beverage: juice, milk
Now is an era of national health, additive-free freshly squeezed juice, a variety of yogurt drinks, has become the new favorite of many people's breakfast.
But did you know that the more these drinks you drink, the easier it is for the liver to fatten, and the easier it is for people to get fatty liver!
Fresh fruits are indeed rich in vitamins and minerals, but after the fruit is juiced, many people will remove the pomace for the taste.
The main components of these pomace are pectin and dietary fiber in fruits. Their presence could have made the proportion of sugar in the fruit lower and delayed the body's absorption of sugar.
As soon as the pomace is removed, all that remains is water and is full of sugar! For example, a glass of 500~600 ml of juice contains about 100 grams of sugar.
Under a cup of freshly squeezed juice, the sugar intake has obviously exceeded the standard. Excessive fructose consumption will affect fat metabolism and increase the burden on the liver, resulting in fatty liver.
In addition, yogurt and milk are indeed a good thing, but in order to improve the taste, some breakfast milk and yogurt often add extra sugar during the production process, so that the sugar intake is easy to exceed the standard.
Therefore, to see if there is extra added sugar in dairy products, you must first learn to read food labels. In addition to white sugar, the ingredients column of food labels sometimes appear with the words glucose, dextrin, maltose, maltodextrin, fructose syrup, corn syrup, etc., which are invisible sugars!
A healthy liver nourishing breakfast, preferably based on the following six types of food:
1. High-protein foods
Protein is one of the three essential nutrients for the human body, an important part of human bones and muscles, one of the indispensable substances to improve human immunity, and is of great significance to the maintenance of the liver. Eggs, milk, fish and shrimp are all foods with high protein content, so you might as well replace your fritters with egg milk for breakfast.
2. Foods containing more carotene
Vegetables contain more vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber and various trace elements, these nutrients have a good protective effect on the liver, especially some yellow-green vegetables contain carotene and prevent liver cancer, inhibit the growth of cancer cells, such as broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, tomatoes, etc.
3. Foods containing more vitamin A
Relevant institutional studies have shown that vitamin A has a good protective effect on the liver, it can effectively inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells in the liver and reduce the recurrence rate of cancer. Therefore, supplementing with vitamin A in life is of great significance to liver health. Common foods containing more vitamin A are cantaloupe, spinach, animal liver, etc.
4. Coarse grains
Modern people's diet is too fine, in fact, this is not ideal for health, on the contrary, coarse grains are good for health. Coarse grains are rich in dietary fiber, which is conducive to maintaining the spleen, stomach and liver, promoting liver detoxification and reducing the burden on the liver.
5. Foods with natural sugars
The excess part of the food we eat into the stomach will be stored by the liver after digestion and absorption, so the liver has the function of synthesizing and storing glycogen. Natural sugars have the least stimulation to the liver and are easier to store and convert. Foods that contain natural sugar in life include sweet potatoes, pumpkins, sugar cane, and various fruits.
6. Meat food
Meat contains the fat needed to maintain liver function, and sufficient fat intake can enhance the body's immunity and enhance the liver's repair ability. Therefore, in order to maintain the liver in life, it is necessary to ensure the intake of human fat. However, excessive fat intake can also affect health, so you cannot eat meat food uncontrollably. It should be mainly fish and shrimp, beef, goose meat, etc., and with vegetables and fruits, so as to ensure balanced nutrition.
