Dr. Hu Liming from the Department of Hepatobiliary Spleen and Stomach gave the answer!
First of all, we need to know the substances contained in garlic. The main ingredients are vitamin C, protein, carbohydrates, crude fiber, allicin and zinc. These substances are necessary for the human body. When garlic is chopped, crushed or chopped, the active ingredient allicin is fully released. Allicin is a powerful antioxidant, antibiotic and antifungal substance. It can achieve the effects of anti-aging, cleaning up garbage toxins and improving self-resistance, which is beneficial to our liver health. Garlic also contains arginine, which is an important amino acid to relax blood vessels, and zinc is an important mineral to increase the antioxidant effect. The antioxidant properties of garlic are most beneficial to the body, because it can prevent toxic substances filtered by the liver from reaching other organs.
Chinese medicine believes that garlic can also be used as medicine, because it is spicy and can stimulate yang, which can improve the internal heat and yang of our body. Therefore, people who have insufficient internal heat should eat more, while those who have excessive internal heat and yang should eat less. If they have liver disease, it is best not to eat garlic.
If you want your liver to become healthy, you should pay attention to three habits. First, we should pay attention to drinking more water and exercising moderately. The most important thing is to adjust the diet structure. We should avoid greasy and spicy food with high salt and sugar. We can eat more fruits and vegetables that are nutritious and protect the liver, such as yam, spinach and bananas. In addition, you can also take our chrysanthemum, cassia seed and medlar to soak.
Garlic is harmless to the human body and does not damage the liver. As a kind of food, garlic can be eaten according to everyone's own preferences and tastes.
Of course not sanctified. Garlic, like cucumber and cabbage, is just a kind of food and has no special function. It will not achieve any health care and liver disease treatment effect because of frequent eating of garlic.
As far as I can remember, as long as my father eats at home, garlic will not be put in all our dishes. ...
The reason is that my father stayed up late to write materials every day during the Cultural Revolution, and his eyes were burned and he was almost blind. So my father rested at home for more than a year and treated himself. It is from this time that our family has become a habit. As long as my father is at home, we don't eat garlic [laughs] (our family is a family of Chinese medicine practitioners, and my father studied Chinese medicine with his grandfather at the age of six).
Garlic is an irritating thing, which will damage the liver and eyes if eaten for a long time. Fire, water and soil in Jin Mu correspond to lung, liver, kidney, heart and spleen, and liver is wood. Wood is most afraid of fire, so eating too much garlic is an act of hurting the liver, especially for people with great anger.
Everything in the world is harmonious. Only a moderate diet and a scientific diet can ensure good health!
Eating garlic in moderation is good for your health, which is known by many studies. Studies have found that fresh garlic can reduce blood lipid and blood viscosity to a certain extent, prevent thrombosis and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Another study shows that garlic has strong antioxidant activity and can prevent atherosclerosis. For the liver, the selenium contained in garlic can promote the repair of damaged cells in the liver, enhance the metabolic capacity of the liver, and greatly reduce the burden on the liver. It seems that eating garlic often can nourish the liver.
Allicin contained in garlic can prevent liver fibrosis. However, garlic can only produce allicin when it is cut, and it needs a lot of allicin to prevent liver fibrosis, which can not be achieved by eating only a little at ordinary times, so don't try to eat a lot of garlic, which will hurt the liver. Because garlic is a warm food, if the yin deficiency is strong and the fire is strong, if it is eaten frequently, it may lead to a strong liver fire and even blood loss in the liver, which is not conducive to health. Moreover, eating a lot of garlic often hurts the eyes, while "opening the liver and nourishing the eyes" will damage the eyes and affect the health of the liver.
Like the liver. Eating garlic regularly can protect the liver. I remember that the Korean football team reached the semi-finals of the World Cup that year. They usually eat garlic juice, kick hard on the football field and run for 90 minutes. It is said that sweaty foreigners dare not approach each other and successfully enter the semi-finals. You said that protecting the liver does not protect the liver.
