Causes of liver injury

  In recent years, the population with fatty liver and alcoholic liver disease has been expanding among the residents of China, and the age has shown a trend of lower age. It is understood that the proportion of urban people suffering from fatty liver has been high, especially those who have the habit of drinking alcohol, most of them suffer from some degree of fatty liver. In turn, fatty liver can develop into liver cirrhosis and even cancer. Nowadays, alcoholic liver disease and fatty liver have become a common disease that is seriously eating away at people’s health. Liver problems that require urgent attention?  In fact, the number of people with liver injury is rapidly expanding because both the overall environment and people’s lifestyle are extremely detrimental to the health of the liver. The sources of liver injury are widespread, and the effects are pervasive and overwhelming. So, what are the main sources of liver injury in humans?  One of the sources is excessive alcohol consumption. Long-term or intermittent heavy drinking can cause liver injury. The more you drink, the longer you continue to drink, the more serious the consequences. Alcohol can directly poison liver cells and affect their structure and function. According to Chinese medicine, “alcohol is a hot food that damages liver yin,” and even drinking large amounts of cold beer in the summer can cause damage to the liver. In reality, there are many people who suffer from alcoholic hepatitis and fatty liver because of excessive drinking, resulting in liver damage.  The second source of disease is to stay up too late to work. Busy work, often stay up late, sleep deprivation, fatigue, will cause relative lack of blood flow to the liver, affecting the nutrient nourishment of liver cells, resistance to decline, resulting in damaged liver cells difficult to repair and aggravate the deterioration.  The third source of disease is environmental pollution. The urban living environment is seriously deteriorated, the air is full of industrial exhaust, car exhaust, the work environment air is dirty, germs breeding. Long time in such an environment, a variety of chemical toxins into the body, will inevitably damage the liver.  Alcoholic liver disease, fatty liver, the two main culprits Alcoholic liver disease: has become a modern society can not ignore the invisible killer. Long-term heavy drinking can cause liver damage, leading to alcoholic liver disease. According to the domestic clinical standard, drinking more than 40 grams of alcohol per day (about 100 ml of 50 degree white wine) for more than 5 years will lead to liver damage and cause alcoholic fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, alcoholic liver fibrosis and alcoholic liver cirrhosis.  Fatty liver: Most of the fatty liver patients in China are alcoholic fatty liver. Fatty liver mostly occurs in the following kinds of people: obese people, excessive alcohol drinkers, high-fat dieters, people who move less, patients with chronic liver disease and middle-aged and elderly endocrine patients. Among them, obesity, excessive alcohol consumption and diabetes are the 3 main causes of fatty liver. Therefore, it is recommended that people with high risk of fatty liver should be aware of self-care and should have regular (1-2 times a year) liver ultrasound and other imaging examinations for early detection and early treatment.  Supplementation of trace elements to avoid liver damage Liver damage, if left to deteriorate, can eventually lead to cirrhosis and even liver cancer, which can be irreversible. Therefore, people with liver damage should actively control their condition to prevent it from deteriorating. Healthy people should also be vigilant and proactive in prevention.  The following points should be strictly observed in health care: 1. Control the amount of alcohol consumption, try to drink low alcohol or non-alcoholic beverages.  2, timely supplementation of high protein, high fiber diet, especially should be supplemented with vitamin B, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K and folic acid, etc.  3, adjust the diet structure. Advocate high protein, high vitamin, low sugar, low fat diet. Do not eat or eat less animal fat, sweet food (including sugary drinks). Eat more green vegetables, fruits and fiber-rich foods, as well as high protein lean meat, river fish, soy products, etc. No snacking and no extra meals before bedtime.  4, more importantly, we should supplement some indispensable substances for human body in time, such as micro-ecological live bacteria, minerals, vitamins and other trace elements that are good for maintaining liver health.  Micro-live bacteria: Micro-live bacteria can help detoxify the liver by regulating the intestinal flora, inhibiting the reproduction of Gram-negative bacteria and reducing the level of enteric-derived endotoxins, thus reducing blood ammonia and relieving physical fatigue. In addition, it can also promote the proliferation of beneficial intestinal bacteria and improve subhealth conditions such as intestinal dysfunction.  Vitamins: B vitamins (including vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, niacin, pantothenic acid, folic acid, etc.) are essential for the human body and are closely related to the liver. A deficiency of B vitamins can lead to reduced cellular function and cause metabolic disorders. The reason why drinking too much alcohol can lead to liver damage is mostly due to the lack of B vitamins in the body. Adequate B vitamin supplementation can effectively treat liver diseases such as alcoholic hepatitis and fatty liver. Therefore, people with existing liver problems and those who already feel the harm of alcohol should take as much B vitamins as possible.  Minerals: Minerals maintain the metabolism of body tissues, organs and organs and contribute to the health of the body. If the body is deficient in iron, physical activity will be threatened. Lack of potassium and sodium can lead to high blood pressure and arteriosclerosis. Deficiencies of magnesium, phosphorus, copper, manganese and iron can lead to severe anemia.  In addition, there is a certain synergy between micro-organisms, vitamins and minerals. For example, micro-live bacteria can regulate the absorption of vitamins and minerals. If the three are supplemented at the same time, they can promote each other’s absorption and protect the liver more effectively. In short, more intake of nutrients rich in live micro-ecological bacteria, vitamins and minerals is beneficial to the recovery of liver injury.  Pay attention to health care and establish a good lifestyle; avoid drinking as much as possible, not to mention the addiction to satisfy the mouth and stomach, but to leave the liver health risks.
