Wang Gang is a 59-year-old executive working in a large state-owned enterprise, he has been busy with work for many years, often socializing and drinking, and does not pay much attention to his diet, often eating supper at night, although he occasionally feels unwell, but always feels that it is not a big deal, after all, he is still young and has always been in good health.
Until one day, when Wang Gang looked in the mirror, he found that his complexion was yellow, and the whites of his eyes were also a little yellow, he was a little worried, and decided to go to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor suggested that he do a color ultrasound and liver function test, and after the results of the examination came out, the doctor told him heavily, he was already in the early stage of liver cirrhosis.
Wang Gang felt a bolt from the blue, and he asked the doctor in disbelief, "How can I get cirrhosis?" I don't usually drink much," the doctor patiently explained: "Cirrhosis is not only caused by alcohol, but also long-term overeating, staying up late, and lack of exercise, which can easily lead to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, which will progress to cirrhosis over time, although you are still in the early stages, if you don't pay attention to it, the condition will become more and more serious." ＂
"So what should I do? Wang Gang asked eagerly.
"First of all, you should quit drinking, balance your diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, eat less high-fat and high-sugar foods, exercise moderately, ensure sleep, I will prescribe you some liver-protecting drugs, regularly review liver function, as long as you can change your lifestyle habits, the condition can still be controlled," the doctor comforted him.
Wang Gang took the examination report and left the hospital gloomily, he regretted that he had not paid attention to it before, in fact, many relatives and friends had reminded him to pay attention to his body, and his face was obviously not very good, but he didn't take it to heart, and now he finally tasted the bitter fruit, he secretly made up his mind that he must quit drinking, exercise well, greatly adjust his life and rest, and strive to take back the lost health.
After returning home, Wang Gang began to seriously study the relevant knowledge of liver disease, and he was surprised to find that the incidence of liver disease in the mainland is very high, according to statistics, about 100 million people in the mainland suffer from fatty liver, nearly 10 million people suffer from liver cirrhosis, and among these liver disease patients, the proportion of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is increasing year by year.
Wang Gang reflected on his lifestyle and found that there were indeed many problems, he often worked overtime until late at night and did not pay attention to his work and rest; Although I don't socialize much, I drink every time; The food in the canteen is on the heavy side, and he doesn't like to eat vegetables; I always feel tired after work, rarely exercise, and all kinds of unhealthy lifestyle habits accumulate over time, which finally leads to liver damage.
He decided to completely change his lifestyle from now on, he began to insist on going to bed early and waking up early every day, and he had to go to bed before 11 o'clock; He applied to the leader and avoided socializing as much as possible; He began to learn to cook some light and delicious home-cooked food, eating more fruits and vegetables; He also bought a treadmill and exercised for half an hour every day.
Gradually, Wang Gang's complexion began to improve, his weight also dropped, and his body felt much more relaxed than before.
In the fast-paced and high-pressure modern life, many people find it difficult to achieve a healthy lifestyle, unhealthy diet, sedentary lifestyle, staying up late, lack of exercise, and bad habits such as alcoholism, so that many people unknowingly embark on the road of high risk of liver disease.
This story is a wake-up call: the liver is an important metabolic organ in the human body, and liver health is directly related to our overall health, yet in Asia, the incidence of liver disease is high, and many people unknowingly endanger liver health.
Alcohol is of course the number one killer of the liver, but the harm of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease cannot be ignored, unhealthy diet, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, are all risk factors for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, these factors lead to liver fat accumulation, trigger inflammation and fibrosis, and may eventually evolve into cirrhosis and even liver cancer.
What is worrying is that many liver diseases may have no obvious symptoms in the early stage, and many people are like Wang Gang in the story, and when there are obvious signs such as jaundice, they may have missed the best time for treatment, so it is necessary to have regular physical examinations and pay attention to liver health.
