The liver is one of our most important organs. It has hundreds of functions for human body, such as detoxification, so it is necessary to protect the liver. I'll show you some of the most liver-damaging foods. You need to be on your guard. You must take health as the premise to enjoy food!

Some foods 1 1 and high-fat foods that are most harmful to the liver.

High-oil, fried food, ice cream, sweets, fat, hamburgers, animal offal and pizza are all high-fat foods. Eating too much high-fat food will increase free fatty acids in the blood and fatty degeneration will occur in liver cells. Fatty liver can be induced when fat accumulates too much in the liver, exceeding 5% of the weight of the liver, or when liver biopsy finds that more than 30% of liver cells have fatty degeneration and spread all over the liver.

2. Foods containing nitrite

Preserved meat, preserved fish, pickles and spoiled vegetables all contain nitrite, which is an important cause of liver cancer. In addition, processed sausages, instant noodles, canned food and other foods contain preservatives, which can keep food for a longer time, but also contain nitrite. Eating these foods regularly will easily increase the burden of liver metabolism and detoxification, leading to liver damage.

3. Moldy food

When food is moldy, it will produce a substance called aflatoxin, which is very harmful to the liver and easily leads to liver cell damage, degeneration and even necrosis.

It can also induce liver cancer. Peanut, soybean, corn and other foods often produce aflatoxin when they are moldy, so when these foods are moldy, don't eat them again.

4. Sunflower seeds are bad for the liver.

Sunflower seeds contain unsaturated fatty acids. Excessive consumption will consume a lot of choline in the body, which will lead to imbalance of fat metabolism in the body, leading to fat deposition in the liver and liver dysfunction. Some sunflower seeds will be fried with spices such as cinnamon, star anise and pepper to improve the taste. However, safrole in cinnamon has carcinogenic effect, and excessive consumption will increase the burden on the liver, which will lead to the decline of liver detoxification function.

5. Regular drinking is harmful to the liver.

After alcohol enters the human body, 90% is metabolized by the liver. Long-term drinking will burden the liver. Acetaldehyde, an intermediate metabolite of alcohol, has direct harm to liver cells. The main component of alcohol is ethanol. After ethanol enters the liver cells, it is oxidized to acetaldehyde and then converted to acetic acid, which makes the fatty acid metabolism in the liver disorder and weakens the oxidation, so that neutral fat accumulates in the liver cells and steatosis occurs, which eventually leads to the formation of fatty liver.

6. Eating sweets is bad for the liver.

Chocolate, sugar and sweets should not be eaten too much. Eating too much will hinder the secretion of enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract and affect appetite; Sugar is easy to ferment, which will aggravate flatulence and easily turn into fat, accelerate the storage of fat in the liver and promote the occurrence of fatty liver.

7. Eating animal liver is not good for the liver.

Don't think that eating liver can replenish liver. Be careful to nourish liver with liver. The more you eat, the worse it is. Patients with liver disease should be especially careful to eat animal liver, because the content of fat and cholesterol in animal liver is high, and eating liver will increase the burden on liver. In addition, the copper content in animal liver is also high, and the liver function of patients with liver disease is low, so it is impossible to adjust the balance of copper in the body. Excessive copper accumulation in the liver can easily aggravate symptoms such as cirrhosis and ascites. In addition, animal liver is also a detoxification organ, which may contain various toxins, so it is useless to eat more.

What is good for the liver?

1 carrot

Carrots are effective mercury-discharging foods. A large amount of pectin can combine with mercury, effectively reducing the concentration of mercury ions in blood and accelerating their discharge. Vitamin A in carrots can help the liver eliminate toxins in the body and reduce fat in the liver. Cellulose can also help clean up the waste in the colon and accelerate its excretion.

In order to release the nutrients in carrots, it is necessary to heat them in cooking, or through mechanical action, such as grinding, juicing or full chewing. The above method can increase the effective amount of carotenoids by 6 times. In addition, because carotenoids are fat-soluble, carrots are best cooked in oil or eaten with high-fat foods.

2. Pig blood

According to Compendium of Materia Medica, pig blood has detoxification function, which is beneficial to liver detoxification. Our country has long known that eating the blood of pigs and other animals can remove dirt from the body. Take a deep breath every day, spit out dirty air, and often eat pig blood soup or the liver-nourishing drugs of the above traditional Chinese medicine, which is very necessary to maintain liver function.

Eating pig red is generally used to boil soup and cook porridge. Beautiful pig red can be rolled out of hot and delicious soup with only a few parsley and a little white pepper, and so can porridge. Adding a little coriander powder and pepper can bring out the spirit of the whole pot of porridge.

3, red dates

Studies have shown that patients who eat red dates continuously recover more than three times faster than those who take vitamin drugs alone. Therefore, red dates have the reputation of "natural vitamin pills". Experiments show that people with poor liver function can increase human serum protein by drinking jujube water 1 week every day, thus achieving the effect of protecting liver and detoxifying.

The brewing details of jujube determine its efficacy. Jujube skin is hard and difficult to digest. If the whole jujube is brewed, its effective components are difficult to completely dissolve, so it is best to break it before brewing. It should also be noted that fresh red dates should not be brewed or boiled. This is because its vitamin C content is very high, and boiling with hot water will seriously destroy vitamin C.

4. Chinese cabbage

Eating Chinese cabbage properly can nourish the liver and detoxify, and also clear the fire. The vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber in Chinese cabbage are not bad. Chinese cabbage contains a lot of crude fiber, which can prevent the formation of plasma cholesterol and promote the excretion of cholic acid, a cholesterol metabolite, thus reducing the formation of atherosclerosis and maintaining vascular elasticity.

It should be pointed out that Chinese cabbage cannot be eaten raw like Chinese cabbage. When cooking with Chinese cabbage, the frying time should not be too long to avoid nutrient loss. People with spleen and stomach deficiency and loose stools should not eat more Chinese cabbage.

Some of the most liver-damaging foods need to be vigilant. The following foods will double the damage of wine to the liver.

1 carrot

Because the carotene and alcohol contained in it will produce toxic substances under the action of liver enzymes, which will endanger health.

2, bean jelly

Because it needs to add a proper amount of alum in the processing process, and alum can slow down gastrointestinal peristalsis, using bean jelly together with wine will prolong the residence time of alcohol in the gastrointestinal tract, thus increasing the absorption of alcohol by human body, increasing the stimulation of alcohol to the gastrointestinal tract, slowing down the blood flow, prolonging the residence time of alcohol in the blood, and prompting people to get drunk and endangering their health.

3. Smoked wax food

Because it contains more nitrosamines and pigments, it reacts with alcohol, which not only damages the liver, but also damages the oral cavity, esophagus and gastrointestinal mucosa, and also induces cancer.

4. Outdoor barbecue

In summer, many people like to get together with relatives and friends at food stalls and eat kebabs while drinking. However, it is unhealthy to treat barbecue food as an appetizer when drinking. In the process of barbecue, not only the utilization rate of protein in food decreases, but also the carcinogen benzopyrene is produced. Moreover, gene mutation caused by nucleic acid decomposition in meat may also lead to cancer. When drinking too much makes the blood lead content increase, the combination of the above substances in barbecue food is easy to induce digestive tract tumors. In addition, due to the large amount of drinking in summer, the probability of inducing this disease is often high.

First of all, alcohol is an organic solvent, which can dilate blood vessels in the digestive tract, dissolve mucin on the surface of the digestive tract mucosa, and make carcinogens easily absorbed by the human body.

Second, alcohol will reduce the detoxification function of the liver and promote carcinogens to play a role.

Third, alcohol can also inhibit human immune function and enhance the activation of carcinogens. Therefore, it is best to drink in moderation.

The carcinogenicity of barbecue food is related to food intake, so it is suggested that it should not exceed twice a week, and each time should not exceed 100g.
