When it comes to the kidney, people may unconsciously think that it is an organ for filtering urine, which can promote the smooth metabolism and excretion of harmful substances, while the lung is an organ for exchanging gas, so that the body can get enough yang, but what is the main function of the liver?

One of the most important functions of the liver is to break down toxins. In our daily diet, it is inevitable that some unhealthy or harmful substances will enter the human body. In addition, some metabolic wastes may also be produced during the normal operation of internal organs of the body.

These special harmful substances can't be metabolized and excreted directly, and can be excreted smoothly only after being decomposed by the liver, so the liver function is abnormal, harmful substances are difficult to metabolize, and excretion will increase the burden on the body.

Perhaps in people's cognition, digestion and absorption is the main function of the stomach, but if we rely solely on the stomach for digestion and absorption, it may be slower and the effect is worse, so the liver plays an auxiliary role in digestion and absorption.

Chinese medicine believes that the liver can store blood, and the liver can also play the role of storing blood and hematopoiesis, which is closely related to cardiovascular health and blood circulation.

Therefore, I hope that everyone will actively maintain and regulate the liver to avoid liver function damage, so as not to harm cardiovascular health.

When a small wound appears on the surface of our skin, most people don't pay special attention to it, because the small wound can heal in a short time and will not cause any harm to the body.

This is because our body's coagulation function is very powerful, and coagulation factors are closely related to the secretion of the liver in addition to platelets in the blood. Therefore, when there is a problem with liver function, there is insufficient coagulation factor in the body, which may cause the wound to be difficult to heal, and in severe cases, there will be suppurative infection.

Although the liver plays an important role, our liver is actually fragile. If you don't pay attention to it at ordinary times, it will easily lead to liver health damage and even related diseases.

In recent years, more and more people suffer from liver disease, and even some people reach the advanced stage as soon as they are diagnosed with liver disease, which also makes people feel very scared.

Drugs taking drugs may cause certain burden and harm to the liver, because some side effects and special substances in drugs mainly rely on the liver for catabolism after entering the human body, which will inevitably stimulate the liver and lead to overload operation of the liver.

The following drugs may be particularly harmful to the liver. Let's have a quick look. People who take it for a long time should also check their liver function regularly.

1, TCM

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a commonly used treatment method in TCM. You may think that the side effects of Chinese medicine treatment are small, so you don't pay special attention to some details when taking Chinese medicine. Some people even take traditional Chinese medicine to preserve their health and recuperate their bodies without getting sick.

It's a three-point poison. Many traditional Chinese medicines follow the principle of homology of medicine and food. These traditional Chinese medicines may be relatively safe, but some traditional Chinese medicines with special properties will also have certain side effects and special ingredients, which are harmful to the body.

Such as senna, Sophora flavescens, Polygonum multiflorum and so on. It may cause different degrees of damage to the liver, so it is necessary to check the liver regularly during long-term medication.

2. Antibiotics

Many people may have heard of antibiotics, but they don't know what kind of drugs antibiotics belong to. You can understand antibiotics as anti-inflammatory drugs.

When there is some inflammation in our body, we may take anti-inflammatory drugs to eliminate or improve the inflammation. Although the effect of antibiotics is obvious, it may also cause a certain burden and influence on people's health and harm the liver.

Therefore, people with poor liver function should also pay attention to protecting the liver or check it regularly during taking antibiotics.

3. Antipyretic and analgesic drugs

If you don't pay attention in your life, you may have fever and pain. At this time, doctors often advise patients to take some antipyretic and analgesic drugs, such as aspirin and ibuprofen.

These drugs have relatively good antipyretic and analgesic effects, but the side effects of drugs can not be ignored. If you take it for a long time or blindly, it will easily cause great damage to the liver, so it is very important to use drugs scientifically, and of course you should pay attention to the health of the liver.

4. Drugs for cardiovascular diseases

Cardiovascular health may directly affect people's health. If there is a problem with cardiovascular function, it is likely to affect the normal blood circulation, and all parts of the body can't get the blood and nutrition they need, and even endanger their lives.

5. Diet pills

In recent years, obesity has become more and more common. Fans try to lose weight for a period of time through various weight loss methods, and find that the effect is not obvious, and they will also take diet pills.

Taking medicine blindly under the premise of good health will inevitably cause a certain burden on the body, and most diet pills may cause harm to the body itself and the liver.

Therefore, it is not recommended to lose weight by taking diet pills. For people who have taken diet pills, it is best to have a liver examination as soon as possible.

To sum up, liver health may directly affect people's health, so I hope everyone will actively regulate and maintain the liver.

I believe many people have heard of the saying that drinking hurts the liver. After alcohol enters the human body, it mainly depends on the liver for catabolism. However, alcohol has certain irritation and belongs to a class of carcinogens. So, if you don't want to develop into health damage, I hope you can control your drinking and don't drink too much.
