Nowadays, people's awareness of health care has increased, and more and more people have begun to pay attention to the health of organs. In fact, what has attracted much attention is our liver, because its function is very important for good health. However, due to changes in living habits, many people have liver damage. At this time, some people have proposed that the liver "loves to eat sugar", so people with bad liver should eat more sugar. So does this make sense?
The liver "loves to eat sugar", and if the liver is not good, it will eat more sugar?
The reason for this statement is mainly that people have learned that "sugar" can protect liver function, synthesize liver glycogen, and reduce the impact of toxic substances on the liver. Therefore, I feel that eating more sugar is good for liver health. But the sugar referred to here is not the sugar that everyone imagines. The sugar here is talking about "complex carbohydrates", which is not the same as the sugar we usually eat.
When there is a problem with liver function, the metabolic burden of carbohydrates is relatively small, but it is rich in carbohydrate, which can not only reduce the metabolic burden of the liver, but also maintain the normal function of the liver. And for people with impaired liver function, the substance helps the reserve of liver glycogen, and can play a certain repair role for liver function.
But we misunderstood this "sugar" and ate a lot of sugar in a short period of time. The first problem that may lead to it is high blood sugar, too much sugar intake, which will lead to abnormal blood sugar fluctuations, and the problem of insulin resistance will occur at this time, thereby increasing the risk of diabetes. And we must know that too much sugar intake, will be converted into fat by the body, at this time will not only lead to the problem of obesity, if it accumulates in the liver, it may lead to the occurrence of fatty liver, but also is not conducive to the health of the liver.
It can be seen that the liver does like "sugar", but this "sugar" is not the sugar we usually eat, but a complex carbohydrate. If you eat too much sugar, whether the liver is healthy or not, it will affect your health and put a burden on liver health. Therefore, this statement is actually incomplete and can easily be misunderstood.
Rumors about the liver, it's time to recognize
In addition to the above statement that it is a rumor, there are actually many rumors about the liver. However, these rumors often sound like the tao, but when analyzed, there are some places that do not make sense. The following will introduce you to these rumors, I hope you will not be misled again.
To complement the liver, to supplement the liver to eat animal liver
In terms of form complement, I believe everyone has heard of it, that is, if you want to make up for any organ, you can eat the organ of the corresponding animal. So, if someone has a bad liver, someone will recommend eating animal liver. This statement sounds very reasonable, but it is actually wrong. First of all, we must know that vitamin and mineral supplementation is beneficial for liver health. However, the content in animal liver is actually relatively small, so the liver supplement effect is not good.
Among them, the higher content is actually fat and protein, although they are all substances needed by the human body, but excessive fat intake may increase the burden on the liver. And there is no research that can prove that fat and protein can be beneficial to liver health after being ingested by the human body and transformed.
In addition, more importantly, in fact, the liver of animals has the same function as the liver of the human body, and can detoxify and detoxify. At this time, there is a problem, that is, most of the toxins in the animal body are concentrated in the liver, and the toxins that are not completely metabolized will further increase the burden on the liver after being ingested by the human body. Especially people whose liver function has been impaired, they cannot eat animal liver to supplement the liver.
Drugs and health care products tonify the liver and have a better effect
Some people think that after they are usually sick, as long as they take a little medicine, they will recover quickly. So when the body has problems, you may think of taking medicine to regulate, and the same is true for liver problems. After some people have liver problems, they will think of buying drugs or health care products to supplement the liver, thinking that after taking them, they can play a role in liver protection.
But we need to know that the ingredients in drugs and health supplements may need to be metabolized by the liver. Then taking drugs is undoubtedly a behavior that increases the burden on the liver and is not conducive to the recovery of liver function. And we need to know that for people with liver damage, the liver burden continues to increase, which is likely to lead to the occurrence of drug-induced hepatitis. Therefore, the statement that drugs and health care products to supplement the liver and have a better effect is actually wrong, and everyone should not be gullible.
In summary, the function of the liver is actually very important to us. However, because many people always maintain bad living habits, which leads to their liver function, there is a certain damage. Therefore, some people have come up with many ways to supplement the liver, the most easily believed, that is, the liver "loves to eat sugar", and if the liver is not good, it should eat more sugar. But the sugar here is not the sugar in our mouths, and I hope you don't misunderstand it.
