After a series of tests, the doctor's guess was confirmed, and the middle-aged woman got acute hepatitis. Send her husband to tears, crying about her illness.
It turns out that his wife, Aunt Liu, just 56 years old this year, has been taking medicine regularly for many years, but she has not felt any discomfort. But since Aunt Liu retired at the age of 55, she has been addicted to health care. I heard that eating garlic can kill bacteria and fight cancer. Aunt Liu is convinced of garlic at home, and eats a garlic raw every time she eats. This habit has been going on for almost a year. As usual, I got up early this year. In order to buy the best quality garlic, I went to the morning market. At night, there are already three good garlic in my stomach. When she got to bed, Aunt Liu felt very uncomfortable and couldn't sleep over and over. Then she developed low-grade fever, nausea, vomiting, liver pain, yellow urine and other symptoms. After the rest, she still didn't get better. Her husband immediately sent Aunt Liu to the hospital.
The doctor thundered: knowing that you have hepatitis, you still eat so much garlic. Patients with hepatitis or taking drugs should try to eat less garlic!
Acute hepatitis: A variety of pathogenic factors invade the liver, resulting in liver cell damage and liver function damage, which in turn causes a series of unwell symptoms, and the course of these damages does not exceed half a year. Common pathogenic factors are viruses, bacteria, parasites, chemical poisons, drugs and poisons, alcohol and so on. In China, the most common acute hepatitis is acute viral hepatitis, especially acute hepatitis B. In foreign countries, alcoholic hepatitis accounts for the majority. Usually, acute hepatitis in our life refers to acute viral hepatitis, but it is only a branch of "acute hepatitis", and the scope of acute hepatitis is wider.
Who should eat as little garlic as possible? Complications such as hyperactivity of fire due to yin deficiency, eye diseases due to liver heat, diseases of mouth, teeth and throat, influenza, plague, etc. are forbidden to be eaten raw, and cooked products should be eaten carefully. Patients with chronic hepatitis like Aunt Liu should also try to eat less garlic.
Liver-related diseases, eye-related diseases, etc. Eating garlic food is also said in Chinese medicine. Let's take a look at the descriptions in the following two ancient books: Ji Kang recorded in "On Health Preservation" that "the meat tastes pungent and hurts the eyes". Garlic is the most pungent, clear and easy to hurt the eyes. People with eye diseases must avoid spicy food during treatment. Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica records that garlic "hurts the liver and eyes if eaten for a long time". Garlic is hot and can help fire; It's pungent. Traditional Chinese medicine stresses that the liver governs the eyes, which means that the two are interrelated. Therefore, liver disease and eye disease should not eat garlic. Cases like Aunt Liu are really common in clinic. I hope everyone can pay attention to them.
Some friends take it for granted that garlic can kill bacteria, so it is very dangerous to apply garlic paste to infected skin and even use it for beauty. Garlic for external use has strong local irritation, which can cause burning sensation, pain and blisters. It should not be used for too long.
How to use the bactericidal effect of garlic? Garlic is a real natural "antibiotic", in fact, mainly because of its allicin. Allicin in garlic is formed after alliinase is impacted. Allicin is an active ingredient that really exerts antibacterial activity. In particular, it can inhibit and kill some pathogenic bacteria in the intestine and respiratory tract. At present, allicin has been made into a drug to treat clinical infections. For example, allicin injection has been developed for deep fungal and bacterial infections, preventing acute and chronic bacillary dysentery and enteritis, fungal infections in the lungs and digestive tract, candidiasis albicans and so on. Therefore, it is certain, true and scientific that allicin can sterilize.
Allicin has two characteristics: first, it is easy to be destroyed, for example, it will decompose when heated, so garlic should be eaten raw. Secondly, allicin is actually synthesized by allicin and alliinase, so garlic can be crushed or mashed to form allicin, which is what we often say, chop garlic and eat it later. That's the truth. People who don't like garlic are most concerned about the smell of garlic, which can irritate the mouth, throat and stomach. You can eat it with other foods without eating too much.
How much is appropriate to eat at a time? If the officially recommended usage and dosage is 9 ~ 15g, actually, for the general public, it is a lot to eat 9 ~ 15g at a time, but it is not necessary. For healthy adults, eating two cloves of garlic at a time is enough for health care. The reasons are as follows: Healthy adults eat garlic not to kill bacteria in intestines or lungs, but to reduce the intake of harmful bacteria in food and reduce the probability of getting sick during eating. This is why eating seafood and meat in summer is more suitable for adding garlic. Is to inhibit or kill harmful bacteria that may exist in food. If you need to achieve the effect of treating diseases, then you need to use garlic enteric-coated tablets or allicin injection.
There are also many reports on other effects, such as lowering blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipid, enhancing immunity, improving cardiovascular function, and even fighting cancer. Most of them are on cell lines and experimental mice. Up to now, allicin has not been developed for clinical patients except as an antibacterial infection. In other words, there is no evidence that eating garlic can reduce the three highs and improve vascular function. Some are only based on the nutritional components of garlic, which is why the efficacy of garlic is exaggerated.
