The liver is the central organ of the human body for metabolism and detoxification, and plays an important role in many physiological activities. Moreover, in recent years, with the improvement of people's awareness of health preservation, more and more friends have begun to pay more attention to liver maintenance, but in the process of conditioning, we will find that the liver is not rich in nerve tissue and nerve cell distribution, therefore, it is often difficult for us to know the health status of the liver through the intuitive feedback of the brain, and sometimes it is easy to miss the best maintenance time.
Judging from clinical statistics, the number of new liver disease patients is increasing every year, and a considerable part of them belong to serious diseases such as liver cirrhosis, and in the treatment of this series of liver lesions, in addition to scientific and rational drug use, patients also have to work hard from the diet, for people with poor liver function, it is best to eat less 4 kinds of "liver" food, the more you eat, the more serious the liver disease is.
1. Foods that are too high in sodium
Excessive intake of sodium salt will not only induce hypertension, but also bring unnecessary burden to the liver.
Clinical studies have shown that patients with chronic liver disease have a higher risk of portal hypertension, sodium and water retention and ascites after excessive salt intake, and may also be concurrently with electrolyte imbalance and abnormal osmotic pressure, which is quite unfavorable for drug absorption and liver repair, and needs to be conditioned as soon as possible.
2. Alcoholic foods
A series of foods containing ethanol, such as alcohol, wine candy, wine chocolate, etc., often have a unique flavor, but for patients with liver disease, the intake should be strictly controlled.
Because the decomposition of alcohol and its metabolite acetaldehyde almost all depends on the liver, if the liver function is not ideal, and the intake of alcohol is still not controlled, then not only the liver lesions will deepen, but also may induce vascular diseases, gastrointestinal inflammation and many other diseases.
In addition, excessive alcohol abuse is also a direct cause of liver cancer, so if you don't want to be haunted by this "slow death", please limit your intake of alcohol and alcoholic foods as soon as possible.
3. High-protein foods
Protein is one of the three major energy sources in the human body, and it is also the basic molecule for cell synthesis and active substance secretion, which has an important impact on health. However, for people with liver disease, protein can be a "poison". When chronic liver disease develops to a certain extent, the amines produced by protein decomposition will be difficult to metabolize through the liver, at this time, these toxic molecules will continue to accumulate in the liver area, and travel to all parts of the body with blood circulation, and even damage brain tissue, inducing hepatic encephalopathy. Therefore, for people with liver disease, the intake of high-protein foods should also be strictly limited according to the doctor's instructions to avoid systemic damage.
4. Foods that are too hard in texture
Biscuits, skewers, chips...... Although these crispy foods taste great, their sharp edges and hard texture can damage the delicate gastrointestinal mucosa after entering the digestive tract, especially for patients with liver disease.
Because the liver can synthesize some clotting factors and help repair wounds, but when its functional activity decreases, the repair rate of the damage in the lining of the stomach and intestines will be reduced, which may become a hidden danger of ulcers and inflammation. People with liver disease should be careful.
