Lao Li, who is nearly 60 years old, recently felt that he was infected with a strange disease, his palms and soles of his feet, always itching from time to time, especially at night, often itching and unable to sleep.
It's not a problem to rely on hard bearing, and in the end, Lao Li still went to the hospital.
After a detailed diagnosis, the doctor determined that Lao Li was a manifestation of liver cirrhosis. The good news is that it is still only in the early stages of cirrhosis, and there are many treatment options available.
However, after listening to the doctor's explanation, Lao Li was very hesitant and did not know how to choose which one was better, so he went home on his own first; after returning home, Lao Li thought about whether he should search on the Internet and see how others had chosen.
Not to mention, Lao Li has found a lot of sayings, some people say, "You don't need to take medicine at all in the early stage of liver cirrhosis, just buy some canned yellow peaches and eat them." But is that really the case?
Do yellow peaches really have the ability to improve liver cirrhosis? Today, we will talk about canned yellow peaches in detail from a professional point of view.
Can canned yellow peaches improve liver cirrhosis? A 60-year-old man decided to try it himself
Actually, if you want to say that Lao Li's liver cirrhosis is really not suddenly infected.
People familiar with the disease know that cirrhosis is often thought to be the result of long-term alcohol consumption, chronic viral hepatitis (such as hepatitis B or C), long-term exposure to toxins, or other serious liver diseases.
Lao Li contracted alcoholism when he was young due to work and entertainment, and although he drank less when he got older, the damage to the liver caused by this alcohol was irreversible. In addition, he still has high blood pressure, and he usually takes a lot of drugs to lower blood pressure, so it is not surprising that he suffers from liver cirrhosis.
The attending physician is also aware of this, and in traditional medicine, cirrhosis is usually treated with medication, interventional therapy or liver transplantation. However, Lao Li's condition is still in the early stage of liver cirrhosis, and there is no need to spend a lot of time on surgery or transplantation; after careful consideration, the doctor decided to use a drug-based approach supplemented by dietary therapy to treat Lao Li's liver disease.
The attending doctor prescribed some conventional drugs for the treatment of the liver, such as acetylcysteine (NAC) and afovir paraxil tablets, to help control the disease, delay the progression of the disease, and improve the quality of life. At the end of his life, he also explained to Lao Li the points that should be paid attention to in life, the diet should be light, do not overeat, and eat some high-protein diets appropriately......
It is precisely because of the doctor's advice that Lao Li decided to go home, in addition to doing this, canned yellow peaches should also be eaten, maybe, it really works?
Pessimistically, food does not completely save the liver, and the 60-year-old man has high blood sugar after 4 months
In fact, in the medical community, there has been a lot of attention regarding the health effects of food. There are many studies that show that good eating habits have a positive effect on the prevention and treatment of a variety of diseases, including liver disease.
But let's make it clear that having a positive effect does not mean that canned yellow peaches are the savior of liver disease. Objectively speaking, the change of a single food cannot completely reverse the process of cirrhosis.
For example, 60-year-old Lao Li insisted on a bottle of canned yellow peaches a day, and after 4 months, although the liver condition did improve, this was indispensable to the "credit" of the drug. However, the problem is that Lao Li has a new problem, high blood sugar, and the doctor learned after detailed inquiry that Lao Li already has a family history of diabetes, and the recent sugar intake is excessive, and the problem of abnormal blood sugar is highlighted.
In fact, cirrhosis is a serious liver disease, and its development is usually a long-term process, which is closely related to a variety of factors, including liver inflammation, viral infections, alcoholism, etc. Even if it is only the prevention and treatment of early liver cirrhosis, it must be mainly based on drug treatment, supplemented by food treatment, and cannot completely rely on yellow peach to play a miracle.
The recovery and maintenance of the liver is a comprehensive process, which requires comprehensive treatment, improvement of diet, exercise and lifestyle habits. Let's take a closer look.
In terms of dietary modification, according to the American Heart Association, adopting a healthy diet that includes more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and foods rich in healthy fats can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, which are also closely related to liver health.
That being the case, the advice for people with liver disease is to eat foods rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, such as fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats and fish.
Moderate physical activity is very important for maintaining liver health, exercise can help control weight, improve blood sugar and blood lipid levels, enhance heart and lung function, increase the body's metabolic rate, and reduce the burden on the liver.
Aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking, jogging, swimming, or cycling, is recommended, with at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity per week.
Finally, in terms of lifestyle habits, improving lifestyle habits is also crucial for liver health. Reasonable and regular work and rest time, adequate sleep, reducing stress, quitting smoking and alcohol, etc., can reduce the damage to the liver.
Maybe everyone is a little puzzled when they see this, since the yellow peach is not as good as Lao Li Tou thinks, then why is the sales of yellow peach not low? Canned yellow peach, is it good for the body?
If you look closely, there are indeed a lot of nutrients in yellow peaches, but it is not recommended that you eat more canned yellow peaches!
As a delicious and juicy fruit, yellow peach has been loved by many people in terms of taste, and its nutritional content is also a plus!
1. Vitamin C: Yellow peaches are generally rich in vitamin C, but note that the vitamin content may be affected by different conditions such as planting places, but generally speaking, every 100 grams can contain about 6.6 mg of vitamin C.
Vitamin C, which is one of the powerful antioxidants, is beneficial to the body by reducing the risk of oxidative stress in cells.
2. Vitamin A: Yellow peaches are rich in vitamin A precursors, such as β-carotene, which are essential for the health of eyesight, skin and mucous membranes. Vitamin A itself is also very present, with about 8 micrograms of vitamin A per 100 grams, and is also an antioxidant that helps with cell repair and immune function.
3. Fiber: Yellow peaches contain soluble and insoluble fiber, which helps to promote digestive tract health and prevent digestive problems such as constipation and hemorrhoids.
4. Antioxidants: In addition to vitamin C and vitamin A, yellow peaches also contain other antioxidants, such as flavonoids and anthocyanins, which help reduce free radical damage and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
As a nutritious, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant fruit, yellow peach can provide comprehensive nutritional support for the body and promote healthy liver function to a certain extent.
However, after making canned yellow peaches, it is not recommended that everyone eat more, because canned yellow peaches not only contain large pieces of yellow peaches, but also the manufacturer will add some white sugar, everyone should feel that the sweetness of eating yellow peaches alone is not as high as that of canned yellow peaches;
