But at the same time, it is very fragile. Some common behaviors in life, such as smoking, drinking, staying up late and overeating, will damage health and affect the normal operation of liver function.

As we know, the liver has several functions in the human body, which can be said to be the "busiest" organ in the human body, responsible for digestion, metabolism, detoxification, synthesis and transformation, and it is the largest chemical plant in the human body. If the liver is damaged, various functions of the human body will also be implicated.

It can be seen that the influence of the liver on human health has even reached the level of "nourishing the liver as life", and many people have been telling themselves to take care of the liver and pay attention to nourishing the liver in their lives. Then why is nourishing the liver like nourishing life?

As we mentioned earlier, the liver plays many functions in the human body. In fact, every function is closely related to the maintenance of human health. If the liver is damaged and the liver function is damaged, some liver diseases will appear in the body, which will pose a great threat to people's life and health.

Among them, common liver diseases include fatty liver, hepatitis and cirrhosis. In severe cases, there is a risk of liver cancer. The appearance of these diseases often means that the liver is damaged, the liver function is abnormal, and it cannot function normally. At this time, people's bodies will have some adverse reactions and symptoms.

If you have symptoms of digestive system. The venous blood flow of gastrointestinal tract in human body enters the liver through portal vein. If the liver function is abnormal, the blood in the gastrointestinal tract is easy to stagnate, which makes the digestion and absorption function of the human body disorder, and people will have symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension and diarrhea, which will affect people's appetite, decrease their appetite and gradually reduce their food intake.

After a long time, the nutritional supply of the human body will be less and less. In addition, the abnormal metabolic function of the liver weakens the human body's ability to absorb nutrients from food, and people are prone to malnutrition, and symptoms such as physical fatigue, listlessness and weight loss will follow.

In addition, abnormal liver function can cause endocrine disorders in the body. The liver is where many hormones are inactivated. When liver function declines, hormone inactivation decreases, which will cause endocrine disorders. For example, if there is too much estrogen in the body, there will be liver palms, spider moles and male breast development. And women will also have irregular menstruation.

In addition, if the liver health is abnormal, people's whole body skin will turn yellow, and their faces will be dull and lose their due luster. Liver function will continue to be abnormal, and the level of bilirubin in the blood will increase, which will lead to "jaundice" symptoms.

Don't underestimate these symptoms, they will slowly consume the energy value of people's lives and "overdraw" their health. Therefore, it is true that nourishing the liver is like nourishing life!

Perhaps it is precisely because nourishing the liver is so important that many people look for various methods and tricks to nourish the liver, and then blindly copy them without thinking. In the end, nourishing the liver failed, but it hurt the liver.

In that life, what are the misunderstandings of nourishing the liver that we need to avoid as soon as possible and stay away from in time?

Myth 1: Anger hurts the liver and often suppresses emotions.

Being angry often does affect the health of the liver. When people are angry, the blood flowing into the liver will increase obviously, and the metabolites in the liver will increase, which will increase the burden on the liver and cause symptoms such as discomfort and pain in the liver area.

But many people often suppress their emotions, thinking that doing so is good for the liver. As everyone knows, this behavior of suppressing emotions will cause endocrine disorders in the body, but it will hurt the liver. At the same time, it will easily lead to other physical diseases, such as depression.

Therefore, we should learn to adjust our emotions as much as possible in life. When emotions are about to erupt, don't suppress them, vent and adjust your emotions reasonably.

Myth 2: blindly drinking health tea

As we know, drinking tea has the function of keeping in good health. Tea is rich in tea polyphenols and phytochemicals, which are beneficial to the antioxidant components of human body. Moreover, caffeine and other ingredients in tea can help the liver break down fat and play a role in reducing fat and relieving boredom, especially after eating greasy food.

But the above effect is aimed at people with healthy liver. For patients with hepatitis and liver cirrhosis, because their liver function is damaged to varying degrees, and tea contains caffeine and other substances, excessive intake will increase the burden on the liver and damage the liver function.

Therefore, it is not recommended to drink too much health tea for people with poor liver and incomplete liver function.

Myth 3: The liver is not good, so it needs to be supplemented.

Many people understand "nourishing the liver" as "nourishing the liver" and think that nourishing the liver is to provide nutrition for the liver and nourish the liver in the body, so as to achieve the purpose of repairing and maintaining the liver. Then I eat a lot of tonics, or eat a lot of tonic soup, fish and seafood and delicacies every day.

In fact, eating too many nourishing drugs will affect the liver function, because any drug has side effects, including some nourishing drugs, which will increase the burden on the liver, especially for people with poor liver, which will aggravate the severity of liver disease.

Similarly, some "big fish and big meat" with high nutritional value are not suitable for daily intake, otherwise it will increase the fat and cholesterol content in the body and lead to fatty liver.

There are also many people in life who advocate eating health care products to "replenish the liver". However, not everyone can use health care products. For people with poor liver or liver disease, long-term use of health care products will aggravate liver injury, because no matter what nutrients are ingested, we should pay attention to the principle of moderation, otherwise it will go too far and bring negative effects.

What should we pay attention to in the process of nourishing liver to make the effect of nourishing liver better?

In fact, liver injury is largely related to our bad living habits. Therefore, in order to keep the liver healthy, we should try our best to get rid of unhealthy living habits and behaviors.

1, wine is the enemy of the liver, so don't drink if you can.

As the saying goes, "drinking is harmful to the body", in which the liver is the first and most fragile body organ. In life, no matter what wine you drink, such as red wine, white wine, yellow wine, etc. As long as it contains alcohol, it will cause different degrees of damage to the liver. The main reason is that after drinking alcohol into the stomach, most of it needs to be decomposed, metabolized and transformed through the liver, which not only brings great burden to the liver, but also directly stimulates and destroys liver cells and damages the liver.

Therefore, for alcoholic beverages, if you don't drink it, you won't drink it, which not only hurts your liver but also wastes money.

2, stay up late, go to bed early and get up early, so that the liver can detoxify normally.

According to the average life expectancy of 75 years and the average sleep of 8 hours a day, one third of life, that is, 25 years, is spent in sleep, which shows how important sleep is in a person's life.

And usually when people sleep, the whole body blood will flow back to the liver, and the liver has detoxification function, which can help clean up toxins in people's blood. On the contrary, if you stay up late for a long time, the toxins in the body cannot be discharged normally, and the liver cannot be effectively nourished by blood. Not only will the liver be damaged, but other organs of the body will also be damaged.

3, don't suppress emotions, learn to release them reasonably, and make the liver qi smoother.

Long-term anger or depression can damage the liver, which is no joke. In addition to anger, negative emotions such as anxiety, irritability and depression can also affect health, which is why "reasonably releasing emotions and maintaining a happy mood and healthy mentality" often appears in doctors' warnings and warnings.

Therefore, when you encounter something unsatisfactory in your life, don't dwell too much on the bad emotions it brings. You should find appropriate ways to vent and release, such as talking to friends and relatives, keeping a mood diary, running, distracting yourself, traveling and so on.

In short, the health of the liver has a great influence on the human body. Whether for healthy people or patients with liver diseases, if you want to nourish your liver, you should start with living habits, eating habits and exercise habits, so as to achieve regular work and rest, balanced diet and persistent exercise. This will not fall into the misunderstanding of nourishing the liver. If you can't nourish your liver, it will hurt your liver.
