Is it true that a small amount of alcohol can nourish the liver? What are the good suggestions for nourishing the liver?
China has a profound wine culture, as a saying goes, every drinker is short of a thousand cups. However, people who drink a lot will be hurt if they drink too much. When drinking too much, the liver is damaged first. It is generally believed that adult men drink more than 75 grams of 38-degree liquor every day (50 grams for women), which is excessive and will bring damage to the liver. The liver is an organ that metabolizes sugar and stores glycogen, which can regulate our blood sugar concentration. Maintaining blood sugar stability is also the key point to protect the liver. Regular diet is an important guarantee for blood sugar stability.

After the wine is absorbed in the stomach, it will enter the liver and be further decomposed. At this time, some substances harmful to the liver will be produced. Drinking these harmful substances in large quantities for a long time will invade our liver and eventually lead to a series of liver diseases such as alcoholic hepatitis. Alcoholic hepatitis patients do not have some particularly obvious discomfort at first, often accompanied by physical weakness, loss of appetite and mild abdominal pain. If you don't know the specific knowledge of alcohol damage to the liver, it is often difficult to relate it to liver problems. In the case of long-term heavy drinking, the above symptoms can not be taken seriously. If we continue to "touch the cup", it will develop from alcoholic hepatitis in the early and middle stages to alcoholic hepatitis in the late stage, leading to cirrhosis and irreversible damage to the liver, which will outweigh the benefits. In daily life, some measures can still effectively protect the liver.

What should I do to protect my liver? In order to prevent further damage to the liver, it is necessary to abstain from drinking alcohol, because drinking alcohol will definitely bring a burden to the liver. Our body organs often have a good self-protection and repair mechanism, and the liver is no exception. If it is mild alcoholic hepatitis, the fat accumulated in the liver will disappear automatically within a few months after abstinence. If it is severe alcoholic hepatitis, abstinence from alcohol can also prevent further liver damage. In addition to alcohol, many chemicals can also cause damage to the liver, so we should also pay attention to whether there are ingredients that may cause damage to the liver. Many Chinese patent medicines and Chinese herbal medicines also have hepatotoxicity, so we should use them carefully and pay attention to screening to avoid bringing greater burden to the liver.
