The heroine's favorite relaxing food combination of fried chicken and beer in Korean drama set off office workers to follow suit. However, this perfect diet, which is enjoyable to eat, is also a murderer of liver injury. Dr. Zhu Nianfeng, Dean of Taitung Hospital of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, said that these foods all contain high oil, high salt and high sugar, which accumulate in the body for a long time. When the liver cannot be metabolized smoothly, it may form fatty liver, commonly known as "oil in the liver". If not controlled, it will develop into a vicious circle of hepatitis, cirrhosis and even liver cancer.
Suffering from fatty liver will deteriorate into hepatitis and cirrhosis.
What is fatty liver? Modern people's long-term unbalanced diet and love to eat high-fat foods easily lead to excessive accumulation of lipids in the body and abnormal accumulation of lipids in liver cells. Most of these lipids belong to triglyceride. Normal people's liver contains about 4-5g of lipids per100g. When the accumulation of lipids (especially triglyceride) in liver cells exceeds 5% of the weight of the liver, or more than one third of the steatosis per unit area in liver histology, it can be called "fatty liver" clinically.
Cheng Hanyu, a nutritionist in former Xinguang Hospital, said that fatty liver is a warning sign of the trilogy of liver disease. If it is not actively regulated, these bad substances will be converted into triglycerides in the human body, which will continue to accumulate in the liver, affecting the normal metabolic function of the liver, causing inflammatory reactions, and even other organs will follow suit.
It is more important to protect the liver and maintain good metabolism.
Don't underestimate fatty liver, especially the liver is a silent organ. It is not easy to have symptoms when suffering from fatty liver. If you don't take appropriate actions to protect the liver, it may hurt the liver. However, modern people's eating out is serious, and diets high in oil, salt and sugar in daily life are almost inevitable. In order to avoid the alarm of the liver early, it is necessary to pay more attention to the importance of protecting the liver. Because the liver is an important organ responsible for metabolism, once the liver is taken care of and its metabolic function is normal, the burden accumulated in the body can be metabolized.
To protect the liver, we should start with daily health care and maintain the normal operation of liver metabolism. In addition to a balanced diet, normal exercise and daily routine, busy office workers can also moderately protect the liver by supplementing clam essence or clam soup.
