2 Sugar Most people don't know that sugar is an important substance to protect the liver. Each gram of glucose can provide about 70% of the energy needed by the human body. If a person is in a state of lack of energy for a long time, it will affect the liver function. Sugar can also synthesize a substance called hepatic glycogen, which is stored in the liver to prevent the damage of toxins ingested into the body to liver cells.
Excessive intake of any substance is also harmful to the liver. For ordinary people, 50*65g of carbohydrates should be consumed every day, and the amount of free sugar should be limited, while diabetics should further control the intake of carbohydrates.
Protein eggs, tofu, milk, fish, chicken, sesame seeds, pine nuts and other "high protein, low calorie" foods are the favorite of the liver. Protein, which is rich in these foods, is like a "maintenance worker" of the liver, which can repair liver cells and promote their regeneration.
Normal people should consume more than 90 grams of high-quality protein every day. For people with impaired and weakened liver function, eating more high-protein foods is more conducive to the recovery of liver health and preventing further damage. Patients with acute hepatitis should not consume less than 80 grams of protein every day; Patients with liver cirrhosis should not be less than 100g.
4 Vitamin A Liver is the "warehouse" for storing vitamins in human body. When the liver is damaged, the ability of the "warehouse" to store vitamins will also decrease. Studies have shown that vitamin A can protect the liver and prevent and inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells in the liver. It can restore normal tissue function and help chemotherapy patients reduce the recurrence rate of cancer. Foods rich in vitamin A in life are: tomatoes, carrots, spinach, animal livers and so on.
