1, a man's method of nourishing liver
Secret recipe 1: diet protects the liver
There are two main points in protecting the liver by diet: one is to optimize food and provide sufficient nutrients to meet the physiological needs of the liver; Second, pay attention to food hygiene to prevent bacteria and viruses from invading the liver.
1, milk, eggs, fish, lean meat, bean products and other foods, three meals a day rotation arrangement, to provide enough high-quality protein for the liver.
2, appropriate consumption of glucose, sucrose, honey, fruit juice and other digestible monosaccharide and disaccharide foods, in order to increase the storage of glycogen.
Yeast is rich in B vitamins and should not be left out in the cold.
4. Hawthorn contains ursolic acid, which can reduce the deposition of animal fat on the blood vessel wall and play a certain role in preventing or alleviating arteriosclerosis. If you usually eat some fresh hawthorn, soak it in water with dried hawthorn, or stew it with hawthorn, it will be delicious and helpful for digestion.
5. Green tea can clear away heat and detoxify, help digestion and relieve boredom; Chrysanthemum calms the liver and improves eyesight; Roses soothe the liver and relieve depression. Drinking this kind of tea often is good for protecting the liver.
6. Lycium barbarum nourishes liver and kidney, nourishes liver and improves eyesight, or makes tea, or stews soup, or cooks porridge.
7, often eat nuts such as walnuts and pistachios to soothe the liver and regulate qi, and relieve anxiety.
8. People with symptoms of liver-qi deficiency such as yellow complexion and poor sleep may wish to eat livestock liver 1 time per week in order to receive the effect of "nourishing liver with liver".
9. Avoid alcohol and all spicy food. Avoid fried and hard food.
Secret recipe 2, sleep to protect the liver
When sleeping, the human body is lying down, and the liver can enjoy more blood irrigation. In addition, the body is at rest and the burden on the liver is the lightest. Therefore, high-quality sleep plays a significant role in protecting the liver. On the contrary, poor sleep quality, especially sleep disorder, is easy to involve liver function. Medical experts have noticed that a sleep disorder called sleep apnea syndrome can cause liver damage.
Syndrome refers to the short-term cessation of breathing caused by the stenosis of glossopharyngeal tube and the obstruction of airway by uvula during sleep In severe cases, the apnea time can last for more than one and a half minutes. Medical data show that about 32% patients with severe sleep apnea have abnormal liver function, and the degree of liver function damage is directly proportional to the severity of apnea. Further research found that this kind of liver injury is related to hypoxia and insulin resistance caused by sleep apnea.
Secret recipe three, exercise to protect the liver
Actively engaging in physical exercise is another effective way to protect the liver, because exercise can not only reduce overweight, prevent obesity and eliminate the harm of excessive fat to the liver, but also promote gas exchange, speed up blood circulation and ensure the liver to get more oxygen and nutrition.
From the point of view of protecting the liver, first, we must choose a good sports ground with a wide field, a wide field of vision and fresh air. Second, we should choose good exercise programs, such as jogging, brisk walking (about 1 10~ 120 steps per minute), cycling, climbing stairs, playing badminton, kicking shuttlecock, patting the ball, dancing, skipping rope and swimming. Every day 1 time, each time lasts for 20~30 minutes, and the fatigue should disappear within 10~20 minutes after exercise.
Secret recipe four, take the initiative to rest
Middle-aged men take the initiative to find time to rest every day, which is the greatest love for the liver. Rest can reduce physical exertion, the decomposition of glycogen and protein, and the production of lactic acid, thus reducing the burden on the liver. Don't wait until fatigue strikes before you want to leave. This is called passive rest. At this time, lactic acid and carbon dioxide, metabolic wastes in the body, have accumulated in large quantities, causing harm to the liver. Active rest, that is, rest before fatigue occurs, and the accumulated waste in the body is still very small, which can be completely removed with a little rest and has the best protective effect on the liver. Don't be a workaholic, don't overwork, especially patients with liver disease.
Secret recipe five, guard against "natural enemies"
The first hepatitis virus. In other words, hepatitis viruses are the primary enemy of liver health, and they often drag patients into the death path of hepatitis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. At present, scientists have discovered six kinds of hepatitis viruses: A, B, C, D, E and G, among which B, C and G are the most dangerous. The most effective means is vaccination, such as hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccine. Take hepatitis A as an example. After nearly ten years of vaccine application, nearly 654.38 billion people have benefited, resulting in an average annual decrease of 22% in the infection rate of this type of hepatitis. It is estimated that the disease will be eradicated in 20 years.
Followed by drugs. Survey data show that drug-induced liver damage accounts for about 10% of inpatients. In the elderly population, the incidence rate is higher. According to French reports, 43% of patients with "acute hepatitis" over 50 years old are caused by drugs. Such as aspirin, sulfanilamide, penicillin, rifampicin, etc. It is a commonly used drug harmful to the liver. Even those seemingly safe drugs (such as nutrition and health products, tonics, etc. ) will cause hidden dangers to the liver due to misuse or abuse. So don't take medicine casually, especially oral medicine, almost 100% is processed by the liver. Even if it is a nutritional medicine or tonic, you should accept the guidance of a doctor and don't make your own decisions, so as not to increase the burden on the liver.
Once again, alcohol. Alcohol is a very strange molecule, which can be dissolved in both water and oil. Once in the human body, it will be like a duck to water, everywhere. There is almost no place in the human body where it can't go. The first bad luck is the liver, because alcohol itself is toxic enough to harm the liver. Fatty liver is the earliest symptom, which can be formed after a few days of heavy drinking, and then it will lead to "fibrosis" and then alcoholic liver disease, and then the situation will get worse and worse, and eventually it will develop into irreversible "cirrhosis". Countermeasures: Healthy people should drink as little as possible and give priority to low alcohol content such as fruit wine; If you have liver disease, you shouldn't touch alcohol.
2. Liver-protecting food
1, fungi
It contains mushroom polysaccharide, such as Lentinus edodes, and a mushroom-based RNA is an inducer of interferon. Eating fungi regularly can improve the body's disease resistance.
2. Duck
Duck meat is cool and has the effect of nourishing yin. Hepatitis patients generally have yin deficiency and internal heat, so it is recorded that hepatitis patients should not eat chicken (chicken fever). Stewed whole duck in Sydney is a good diet for hepatitis patients.
3. turtle
Nourishing yin and clearing heat, softening hard mass and resolving hard mass, turtle shell can be used in the diet of patients with hepatitis and liver cirrhosis, but it is high in fat and not suitable for acute liver disease. Don't use dead fish, it will produce toxic histamine.
4. Bitter gourd
Raw cold is used to remove fire and nourish liver. I like bitter gourd scrambled eggs best. Don't eat too much, it will hurt your stomach.
5. tomatoes
Contains a lot of vc and lycopene. People with abnormal liver function can often eat tomato and duck egg soup, which has the function of nourishing yin and can be used as the daily diet of hepatitis patients.
6. Citrus fruit trees
Rich in vc, it helps to detoxify the liver, but it is not suitable for excessive consumption. Eating too much is easy to get angry, and eating on an empty stomach hurts the stomach.
7. Li
It contains flavonoid glycosides and is an inducer of interferon. At the same time, Chinese medicine says that Li Qingre has the function of nourishing and protecting the liver by promoting fluid production, purging the liver and promoting diuresis.
8.pierce
Pear is rich in nutrition, which can protect the liver and help digestion, so it is often used as an adjuvant treatment for hepatitis and cirrhosis.
