What factors can lead to fatty liver?
1, long-term alcoholism
Alcohol is the first killer of liver damage, because after alcohol enters the human body, it is mainly metabolized in the liver. The toxicity of alcohol to liver cells hinders the decomposition and metabolism of fatty acids by liver cells, causes liver fat deposition and forms fatty liver.
2. Obese people
It is found that about 50% obese people are more prone to fatty liver, mainly because there are a lot of free fatty acids in the blood of obese people, which will be transported to the liver continuously, which will lead to the accumulation of liver fat over time and eventually form obese fatty liver.
3. Malnutrition
If you eat a high-fat diet regularly, it will lead to excessive fat intake beyond the treatment range of the liver, increase the workload of the liver, thus affecting the working rhythm of the liver, leading to fat accumulation in the liver and leading to fatty liver, while malnutrition will lead to insufficient intake of protein, which is also an important factor leading to fatty liver.
In addition, if there is a certain digestive disorder, the body cannot synthesize apolipoprotein, and the triglycerides ingested in the body will accumulate in liver cells, which will also lead to fatty liver.
4. Middle-aged and elderly people who lack exercise
Because many functions of the body of middle-aged and elderly people will decline, organ function will also deteriorate, and metabolic capacity will also deteriorate. If you don't take physical exercise at ordinary times, the body's fat will be converted into energy, which will lead to the accumulation of fat in the liver and form fatty liver.
What foods should we stay away from to prevent fatty liver?
1. Pickled food: Pickled food contains additives such as preservatives and colorants. Eating too much of these additives can easily cause liver poisoning, increase the burden on the liver and lead to fatty liver over time. In order to prevent fatty liver, you must avoid pickling food.
2, eat less sugar: the more sugar you eat, the easier it is for uric acid in the serum to rise, and sugar will be converted into fat in the body. Long-term high-sugar diet will accelerate the storage of fat in the liver, make fat accumulate around the liver and induce fatty liver, so try not to eat some sweets, such as ice cream and cakes, and try not to drink sugary drinks.
3, spicy and irritating food: too spicy food will produce greater irritation, which will aggravate the existing damp-heat internal injuries and may affect liver function. Therefore, patients with severe fatty liver should try to stay away from spicy food, do not add seasoning ingredients such as pepper, pepper and curry when cooking food, and do not eat hot pot or barbecue.
4. Alcoholic beverages: Alcoholic beverages belong to the dietary taboo range of severe fatty liver. Patients must avoid drinking alcohol, such as cocktails and red wine.
If you want to prevent fatty liver, eating some soy products, hawthorn, carrots and other foods is very helpful to prevent fatty liver, but the extremes meet. Director Zhong Wei, a Chinese medicine oncologist at Beijing Sihui West District Hospital, said that eating too much of the best things will be harmful to your health. Therefore, I hope that everyone can eat these three foods in moderation in order to make their functions work.
