The first type: expired yogurt.

Mildew yogurt, acne and other dairy products can be infected with aflatoxin, causing liver cancer, esophageal cancer and other cancers.

Although yogurt is good, once the shelf life has passed, it is best to throw it away directly, and don't be reluctant.

The second kind: bitter nuts.

Nuts contain a lot of oil. Once bitter, they are easily infected by aflatoxin, especially peanuts and almonds.

Aflatoxin has definite carcinogenic effect, mainly acting on the liver and inducing liver cancer.

The third type: moldy rice

Rice with "musty taste" is easily contaminated by aflatoxin, which will seriously damage the liver and even induce liver cancer.

It's best to throw away this kind of rice directly, and never "wash" it before continuing to eat.

The fourth kind: high-fat food.

In addition to eating less pork belly, fat beef, fat sheep and other foods, eat out, try not to order fried, fried, crisp, dry pot, boiled and other dishes, and choose steaming, boiling, stewing and cooling.

Ham sausage, bacon, bacon and other processed meat products are also high in fat, so try to eat less.

The fourth kind: moldy food

Studies have shown that moldy food is often contaminated by mold, producing carcinogenic mycotoxins (such as aflatoxin), which is the most harmful to the liver and easy to induce liver cancer.

The foods most susceptible to mold contamination are peanuts, corn, rice, sorghum and peanut oil. Some people will remove the moldy parts of bread, fruit and other foods and continue to eat the rest. This is not desirable. Cytotoxin produced by mold will spread in food, and it is difficult to estimate the spread range with naked eyes.

The fourth kind: wine

After alcohol enters the human body, only 10% is excreted from the gastrointestinal tract and 90% is metabolized in the liver.

The main component of alcohol is ethanol, which enters liver cells and is oxidized into acetaldehyde. Both ethanol and acetaldehyde have the toxicity of directly stimulating and damaging liver cells, which can cause fatty degeneration and even necrosis of liver cells.

Protect the liver and achieve "two more and two less"

"two shifts"

One flower: Smile more.

Laughing often helps to soothe the liver and relieve depression, promote the expression of liver qi and protect the health of the liver. Keep a good mood every day and don't "block" the liver, which will get better gradually.

Don't be angry for more than 3 minutes, and don't make blind decisions in anger.

Erduo: Drink more mallows.

Selenium deficiency will lead to the decrease of glutathione peroxidase activity in liver and damage the defense of liver cells. Selenium supplementation, to put it bluntly, is to supplement substances that inhibit liver disease.

Foods rich in selenium are: lean meat, mushroom vegetables, bamboo shoots and so on.

In addition to eating, there are some selenium-enriched ingredients that we can soak in water, such as all kinds of corn silk, Maojian tea, Dendrobium, horseradish and so on. It can also promote the growth of liver cells and protect the liver.

Among them, mallow is not only rich in selenium, but also contains triterpenoids and phytosterols. Soaking in water after drying is helpful to repair damaged liver cells and resist liver injury.

"two less"

One less: stay up late less.

Staying up late is to boil liver blood. Once liver blood deficiency occurs, it will affect the normal physiological function of the liver and damage health.

In addition, staying up late will also lead to endocrine disorders in the body, increase the burden on the liver, affect the self-repair of the liver, lead to premature failure of the liver and increase the incidence of liver diseases.

Therefore, minimizing staying up late, ensuring adequate sleep and supplementing liver blood can promote liver health.

Two less: less oil.

Eating too much greasy food will increase the burden on the liver, easily lead to fatty liver and damage the health of the liver.

It is very important for liver health to eat less greasy food and mix meat and vegetables well.

Nourishing liver besides food

You can also press acupoints to nourish and protect the liver.

1. Taichong point

The original point of liver meridian is also lost.

2. Zusanli point

skill

Be less angry: when people are angry, qi will flow backwards, which will seriously affect the function of the liver. Therefore, we should try our best to maintain a happy spirit, and we can also adjust it by transferring emotions.

Angry people can also eat bitter gourd and hawthorn properly, or brew with boiling water 10g chrysanthemum, green tea and cassia seed instead of tea.

Keep a good mood: Depression can be relieved by adjusting emotions, and you can also take prescriptions for soothing the liver and regulating qi under the guidance of a doctor, such as Chaihu Shugan Powder.
