Li Hua, an ordinary bank clerk. In his ordinary life, he has a very special friend, Dr. Zhang, a hepatologist with deep medical knowledge.
One day, Li Hua and Dr. Zhang met in an old friend's tavern. The tavern is softly lit, and the air is filled with the aroma of roasted peanuts and the mellow aroma of old wine.
Li Hua lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and looked at Dr. Zhang opposite him with a somewhat confused look. Suddenly, he extinguished his cigarette butt and said to Dr. Zhang solemnly, "Dr. Zhang, I have decided, I want to quit smoking and drinking! ”
After hearing this, Dr. Zhang's eyes flashed with a glint of relief, and he patted Li Hua on the shoulder, smiling and praising his decision.
"Li Hua, this is really a wise decision! Quitting these bad habits can indeed reduce a lot of health risks. However, in addition to tobacco and alcohol, there are three killers that seem ordinary but cause great damage to the liver, and you may never have paid attention to them. ”
Li Hua got closer curiously, and Dr. Zhang began to explain slowly: "The first killer turned out to be sedentary. ”
"We all know that exercise is good for health, but you may not know that sitting for a long time can lead to liver dysfunction, liver metabolic insufficiency, liver fat, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. ”
Dr. Teo went on to add, "Sitting in the bank for so much time every day, your liver is actually silently suffering. It is recommended to get up and move for 5 minutes every hour, even if it is to go to the window and look into the distance, it is also a good way to combat sedentary time. ”
Li Hua listened carefully and felt very helpful about this information. Dr. Teo went on to explain, "The second killer is poor diet. It is well known that a high-fat diet is not good for the liver, but many people ignore the dangers of a high-salt diet. ”
"Consuming too much salt can increase the burden on the liver, which can lead to serious health problems such as cirrhosis. The pickled foods and high-salt snacks we often eat are potential threats. ”
"As for the third killer, it's psychological pressure. Dr. Zhang's tone suddenly changed to solemnity, "Long-term psychological stress can lead to hormonal imbalances in the body, which in turn affects liver function. Banking work is stressful, and you should know it. Stress reduction is also an important part of protecting the liver. ”
The time of the evening passed slowly, and the conversation between the two expanded from liver protection to all aspects of life.
In the end, Li Hua sighed with satisfaction: "Doctor Zhang, I was really taught tonight. It seems that it is not only about quitting smoking and drinking, but also about many small details in life. ”
Just as they were about to leave, Li Hua suddenly thought of a question, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Doctor Zhang, I have had mild liver dysfunction before, can my liver function return to normal after these habits change?"
Dr. Zhang smiled and replied, "Actually, the liver has a strong ability to repair itself. If you can correct your bad lifestyle in time, adjust your diet appropriately, and exercise a certain amount of exercise, liver function can gradually return to normal in most cases. Of course, regular medical check-ups are also required so that any potential problems can be detected and dealt with in a timely manner. ”
The story ends slowly in the middle of the night, leaving the listener with endless thoughts and revelations.
