How much does the liver affect weight management?
A good liver is a colorful life, and a bad liver is a black and white life. People often sigh that "how to drink cold water will gain meat" and often say that "the belt has a long life and a short life". These are all related to our liver.

The liver is the place where human body metabolizes fat. The fat in food will be decomposed in the small intestine and absorbed in the form of oil and fatty acid. After entering the human body, it will be re-synthesized into triglycerides in liver cells, that is, fat, and then transported out of the liver in the form of lipoproteins and transported to subcutaneous storage. When the amount of fat produced by the body is within a reasonable range, the fat is transported to a reasonable place, such as the breast and buttocks, the inner thigh roots and so on. However, if there is too much fat and there is no place to put it, we have to put it where we can. The subcutaneous space of the abdomen is vast, and the excess fat is thrown here.

When the human body needs to use fat for energy supply, subcutaneous fat will be mobilized, pass through lipoprotein from the skin, then transport to the liver, and then burn in the liver for energy supply. The liver is the center of fat metabolism.

When the liver is damaged, such as by drinking, smoking, staying up late and other lifestyles, when some nutrients are lacking, there will be problems in fat metabolism, which will lead to obstacles in the use of fat by the human body, and a large amount of fat will accumulate in liver cells, leading to fatty liver. At the same time, the utilization of liver fat will also be hindered, and a large amount of fat will accumulate in the body, which will also lead to obesity and hyperlipidemia.

When the liver is damaged and metabolism is disturbed, the reaction of amino acids absorbed from food to synthesize protein needed by human body will slow down or even stop. When the reaction of synthesizing protein slows down or stops, amino acids, the raw materials for synthesizing protein, will accumulate in the body, and the body is not allowed to accumulate raw materials. Once the body thinks that there are too many raw materials, it will turn these accumulated amino acids into fat and store them. The absorbed glycerol and fatty acids synthesize fat in the liver, and the sucked sugar can also be converted into fat. Therefore, when the liver's metabolic function is unfavorable, everything it eats will become fat, and people will easily get fat.

As can be seen from the above, in weight management, normal liver function is very important for weight control, so you must take good care of your liver.
