The end of the year, a wave of banquets, annual meetings, the Chinese banquet other can be less, wine is not less, and even many annual meetings have become a spell wine field.” Do not drink no atmosphere ah!” Usually like to sip a few glasses of people said. Drinking too much can easily lead to fatty liver, so experts suggest that wine can drink, but to drink in moderation, speaking skills. The long term excessive drinking grows out of the “fat” liver Dr. Gao Zhiliang, vice president of the Zhongshan Third Hospital Liver Hospital, said that drinking too much, excessive can cause fatty liver.” In the past, the incidence of fatty liver is very low, but now seafood, excessive wine, gutter oil, etc. eat more, drink more, the incidence of fatty liver is higher.” He pointed out that now 2 out of 10 people have fatty liver, including non-alcoholic fatty liver and alcoholic fatty liver. Long-term heavy drinking, alcohol ethanol has a direct toxic effect, and ethanol metabolism affects the liver detoxification function, the metabolite acetaldehyde will also produce toxic effects, so long-term heavy drinking is very harmful, easy to lead to liver lesions, the formation of simple fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, followed by liver fibrosis, liver cirrhosis. In addition, wine, especially fake wine is very destructive to pancreatic islet cells, and many patients with alcoholic fatty liver have problems because of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. “Fatty liver is mainly the accumulation of triglycerides and fatty acids on the liver, which is a problem of liver metabolism.” According to Gao Zhiliang, normal liver fat accounts for about 5 percent of the liver weight, while fatty liver has >5 percent of the liver weight and more than 30 percent of the liver cells have accumulated fat. Long-term alcoholics 60 to 90 percent have fatty liver, of which 40 percent may have alcoholic hepatitis. Experts point out that mild fatty liver has few conscious symptoms, but cirrhosis is the fate of many fatty livers. Fatty liver progresses more slowly, and the incidence of cirrhosis in people who have been drinking for more than 20 years is 5% to 15%. Tip 1 Don’t drink more than one meal a day “The textbook used to write that drinking 4 taels per meal and 4 consecutive years will get cirrhosis, but now we find that it is not necessarily.” According to Gao Zhiliang, “It has a lot to do with the frequency of drinking and whether there is alcohol abuse.” He said that most patients who come for treatment for cirrhosis have alcohol addiction, drink in the morning, afternoon and evening, and alcoholics are prone to have cirrhosis.” Those who have alcohol addiction, who drink in the morning and evening, and who drink continuously are prone to cirrhosis because the alcohol is not metabolized in time to have another addition.” Those who drink only once a day metabolize the first day’s alcohol the next day and are therefore less prone to cirrhosis than those who drink three meals a day, he claims. “People who drink are also less prone to cirrhosis if they love to exercise.” Gao Zhiliang pointed out that drinkers pay attention to exercise can also reduce the chances of getting cirrhosis, because exercise can consume excess fat, often exercise people even if they drink, but also rarely get fatty liver. Tip 2 Exercise is more effective than taking drugs Gao Zhiliang said that the effect of taking drugs on the treatment of fatty liver is not great, although taking drugs can remove part of the fat in the fatty liver, but lifestyle habits have not changed, metabolism will eat back.” That’s why I tell patients to go hiking and swimming more often, and to take medicine to treat the symptoms but not the root cause.” According to Gao Zhiliang, in the treatment of fatty liver, a comprehensive treatment is needed, on the one hand, to get rid of the causes of the disease such as no alcohol abuse or limited alcohol consumption, on the other hand, to improve lifestyle such as more exercise, and finally, to rationalize the use of drugs. When it comes to limiting alcohol, the Nutrition Society believes that drinking ≥100ml/d (2 taels/day) is excessive drinking, and should be about moderate drinking, which is considered from the amount of alcohol intake, that is, the amount of alcohol intake (grams) = the amount of alcohol consumed (ml) × the concentration of alcohol (%) × 0.8.
