1, a good way for men to nourish and protect their liver.
Golden Idea 1: Diet protects the liver
There are two main points in diet to protect the liver:
First, optimize food and provide sufficient nutrients to meet the physiological needs of the liver;
Second, pay attention to food hygiene to prevent bacteria and viruses from invading the liver.
Nutritionists tell us that five nutrients, such as protein, fat, carbohydrate, vitamins and mineral elements, are also necessary for the liver. However, the liver needs more protein, carbohydrates and vitamins, and too much fat may cause fatty liver, which must be properly restricted. To this end, it is recommended that you incorporate the following details into your daily diet:
Milk, eggs, fish, lean meat, bean products and other foods, arrange daily meal rotation to provide enough high-quality protein for the liver.
Appropriate consumption of glucose, sucrose, honey, fruit juice and other digestible monosaccharide and disaccharide foods, in order to increase the liver glycogen reserves.
Hawthorn contains ursolic acid, which can reduce the deposition of animal fat on the blood vessel wall and prevent or alleviate arteriosclerosis to some extent. If you usually eat some fresh hawthorn, soak it in water with dried hawthorn, or stew it with hawthorn, it will be delicious and helpful for digestion.
Eating nuts such as walnuts and pistachios often can soothe the liver and regulate qi and relieve anxiety.
People with symptoms of liver-qi deficiency such as yellow complexion and poor sleep may wish to eat livestock liver 1 time per week in order to receive the effect of "nourishing liver with liver".
Eliminate food pollution, including pesticide residues in vegetables, fruits and vegetables; Some food additives, such as flour whitening agents and preservatives; Smoked and roasted food and spoiled food, such as rotten ginger, red dumplings, long-sprouted potatoes, etc. Countermeasures: Try to buy vegetables with little or no pesticide pollution and wash them with clear water. Eat melons and peel them. Try to eat less or no food containing additives, such as canned food. Stay away from smoked and spoiled food.
Drink more boiled water. Keep the boiled water fresh, 3~4 times a day, each time 1 small bowl. Boiled water can increase the circulating blood volume and enhance the vitality of liver cells, which is beneficial to the elimination of metabolic waste, thus achieving the effect of protecting the liver.
"Golden Idea" 2: Sleep protects the liver
When sleeping, the human body is lying down, and the liver can enjoy more blood irrigation. In addition, the body is at rest and the burden on the liver is the lightest. Therefore, high-quality sleep plays a significant role in protecting the liver. On the contrary, poor sleep quality, especially sleep disorder, is easy to involve liver function. Medical experts have noticed that a sleep disorder called sleep apnea syndrome can cause liver damage.
To improve the quality of sleep, the first step is to actively treat sleep disorders, such as insomnia and sleep apnea syndrome. Secondly, don't engage in work that consumes too much brain power at night, and don't stay up late. Some people often stay up late and stay up late because of their poor liver.
According to Chinese medicine, the two most important periods in a person's day are sleep time, one is at noon (1 1 am to 1 pm) and the other is at noon (1/am to 1 am). These four hours are also the time for bone marrow hematopoiesis, and the most blood flows through the liver. In other words, you should take a good nap and sleep at night, especially at night. It is best to sleep before 10, and ensure that you fall asleep around 1 1, so as to pave the way for the repair of liver function.
"Golden Idea" 3: Exercise protects the liver
Actively engaging in physical exercise is another effective way to protect the liver, because exercise can not only reduce overweight, prevent obesity and eliminate the harm of excessive fat to the liver, but also promote gas exchange, speed up blood circulation and ensure the liver to get more oxygen and nutrition.
From the point of view of protecting the liver, first, we must choose a good sports ground with a wide field, a wide field of vision and fresh air. Second, we should choose good exercise programs, such as jogging, brisk walking (about 1 10~ 120 steps per minute), cycling, climbing stairs, playing badminton, kicking shuttlecock, patting the ball, dancing, skipping rope and swimming. Every day 1 time, each time lasts for 20~30 minutes, and the fatigue should disappear within 10~20 minutes after exercise.
"Golden Idea" 4: Protecting the Liver with Emotion
Regulate the mood, dissolve the bad mood in your heart, and keep yourself in a good mood, which is beneficial to the health care of the liver. If the mood fluctuates, it can make the hormone secretion in the body unbalanced, lead to blood circulation disorder, affect the blood supply of the liver, and make the liver cells die of ischemia. This is what Chinese medicine calls "the sorrow of the spleen and the anger of the liver". Chinese medicine believes that anger is the most unfavorable to the liver among the seven emotions. Anger will lead to abnormal drainage of the liver, leading to stagnation of liver qi, which will easily lead to liver disease over time.
The core of emotional liver protection is to learn to control anger. Even if you are angry, don't be angry for more than 3 minutes. Try to be calm, optimistic and carefree, so that the liver fire can be extinguished and the liver qi can grow normally, smoothly and permanently.
"Golden Idea" 5: Take the initiative to rest
Middle-aged men take the initiative to find time to rest every day, which is the greatest love for the liver. Rest can reduce physical exertion, the decomposition of glycogen and protein, and the production of lactic acid, thus reducing the burden on the liver. Don't wait until fatigue strikes before you want to leave. This is called passive rest. Metabolic wastes in the body at this time-lactic acid, carbon dioxide, etc. -Too much accumulation has done harm to the liver. Active rest, that is, rest before fatigue occurs, and the accumulated waste in the body is still very small, which can be completely removed with a little rest and has the best protective effect on the liver.
Don't be a workaholic, don't overwork, especially patients with liver disease. Chen Yifei, a famous painter who died young two years ago, is a warning to middle-aged men.
"Golden Idea" 6: Beware of "Natural Enemies"
There are many natural enemies in the liver, and hepatitis virus is the first one. In other words, hepatitis viruses are the primary enemy of liver health, and they often drag patients into the death path of hepatitis-cirrhosis-liver cancer. At present, scientists have discovered six kinds of hepatitis viruses: A, B, C, D, E and G, among which B, C and G are the most dangerous. The most effective means is vaccination, such as hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccine. Take hepatitis A as an example. After nearly ten years of vaccine application, nearly 654.38 billion people have benefited, resulting in an average annual decrease of 22% in the infection rate of this type of hepatitis. It is estimated that the disease will be eradicated in 20 years.
Followed by drugs. Survey data show that drug-induced liver damage accounts for about 10% of inpatients. In the elderly population, the incidence rate is higher. According to French reports, 43% of patients with "acute hepatitis" over 50 years old are caused by drugs. Such as aspirin, sulfanilamide, penicillin, rifampicin, etc. It is a commonly used drug harmful to the liver. Even those seemingly safe drugs (such as nutrition and health products, tonics, etc. ) will cause hidden dangers to the liver due to misuse or abuse. So don't take medicine casually, especially oral medicine, almost 100% is processed by the liver. Even if it is a nutritional medicine or tonic, you should accept the guidance of a doctor and don't make your own decisions, so as not to increase the burden on the liver.
Once again, alcohol. Alcohol is a very strange molecule, which can be dissolved in both water and oil. Once in the human body, it will be like a duck to water, everywhere. There is almost no place in the human body where it can't go. The first bad luck is the liver, because alcohol itself is toxic enough to harm the liver. Fatty liver is the earliest symptom, which can be formed after a few days of heavy drinking, and then it will lead to "fibrosis" and then alcoholic liver disease, and then the situation will get worse and worse, and eventually it will develop into irreversible "cirrhosis". Countermeasures: Healthy people should drink as little as possible and give priority to low alcohol content such as fruit wine; If you have liver disease, you shouldn't touch alcohol.
In addition, a variety of harmful substances in cigarettes will reduce the detoxification function of liver cells, so it is better to quit smoking strictly.
2, men's health should pay attention to common sense.
1. Don't be stiff when you are hungry.
Don't delay eating time casually, otherwise it may cause gastrointestinal contraction, abdominal pain, severe hypoglycemia, weakness and trembling of hands and feet, dizziness, and even coma and shock. Often hungry and not eating, it is easy to cause ulcers, gastritis, indigestion and other diseases.
Don't submit to humiliation in daily life.
Whenever you feel dizzy and sleepy at night, don't hold on. Do not use strong coffee or strong tea to stimulate nerves, so as to avoid neurasthenia, hypertension and coronary heart disease.
Don't put up with it when you are thirsty.
Water is the most needed substance for human body. Middle-aged people must develop the habit of drinking water regularly, and it is advisable to drink 6-8 glasses of water every day. Thirst is a signal that the human body is short of water, indicating that the cells in the body are dehydrated. If left unchecked, it will affect health.
Don't support yourself when you are tired.
Fatigue is a normal reaction of the body to recover physical strength and energy, and it is also an automatic control signal and warning that people have. If we don't take immediate measures according to the warning, the human body will collapse due to overwork and be riddled with diseases. Therefore, when middle-aged people feel that they have symptoms such as general weakness, muscle aches, dizziness, slow thinking, listlessness, palpitations, rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, etc., don't "bear it hard" any more. Pay attention to the combination of work and rest immediately, don't stay up late, and don't rush to work; Relax, be broad-minded, feel comfortable, don't worry about trifles, don't care too much about personal gains and losses, and take health care measures as soon as possible to eliminate physical and mental fatigue.
5. Don't hold back when going to the toilet.
Difficulty in defecation can cause habitual constipation, hemorrhoids, anal fissure and proctoptosis, in addition, it can also induce colorectal cancer. Holding urine leads to unbearable pain in the lower abdomen, and even causes urinary tract infection and nephritis, which is very harmful to health. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a good habit of defecating regularly and urinating immediately if you feel urinating.
6. Don't carry it when you are sick.
The physiological functions of brain, heart, liver, kidney and other important organs of middle-aged people are unconsciously declining, and the immunity, regenerative ability and endocrine function of cells are also declining. Middle-aged people do not pay attention to headache, fever, cough, fatigue, backache and leg pain, bloody stool and other uncomfortable symptoms. If they let it go, it will eventually delay and lead to serious illness. Therefore, when you are sick, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible to restore your health as soon as possible, so as not to cause serious illness.
Conclusion: Nourishing the liver can not only make the liver better, but also require our care, especially for men who have been socializing for a long time and drinking too much, which leads to the decline of liver function. The method mentioned by Bian Xiao can help us to take better care of the liver. I hope men can pay more attention to and care for their bodies!
3. Dietary principles of patients with liver disease
1, pay attention to cooking methods, in order to enhance the appetite of patients, food should be easy to digest and absorb, generally do not need fried or fried food.
2, supplement trace elements, patients with liver disease often lack trace elements such as zinc, manganese, selenium, and some patients also lack minerals such as calcium, phosphorus and iron. Therefore, it is advisable to supplement foods containing trace elements and minerals, such as seaweed, oysters, mushrooms, sesame, jujube, medlar and so on.
3. Provide a light diet with high carbohydrate, high quality protein, low fat and high vitamins.
4. Food should be rich in high-quality protein. Protein is one of the most important nutrients to maintain human life activities. Once patients with chronic hepatitis B get better, they should gradually increase their intake of protein, and choose high-quality protein and foods with high nutritional value, so as to facilitate the regeneration and repair of liver cells. This kind of food includes milk, eggs, fish, lean meat and bean products.
5, according to the illness and the patient's eating habits, appropriate conditioning, using a small amount of multi-meal semi-liquid diet, liquid when the appetite is very poor, available rice soup, soybean milk, egg soup, juice, lotus root powder, bread, porridge, noodles and so on. After jaundice occurs in acute hepatitis, the frequency of nausea and vomiting decreases, and appetite begins to improve, so diet treatment can be carried out step by step.
