How can people with liver disease survive the winter safely?

In the cold wind and snowy winter, how to strengthen the conditioning of patients with liver disease, how to rationally allocate diet, how to properly carry out physical exercise, etc., these are many patients with chronic liver disease are very concerned about the important issues. According to years of clinical experience, patients with liver disease are reminded to pay attention to the following aspects in the cold winter: 1, pay attention to keep warm and avoid cold: the cold weather in winter is a high season of influenza. Most patients with chronic liver disease have low immune function and are more susceptible to influenza virus infection. Once infected, it will aggravate the original disease. In addition, the vast majority of drugs for the treatment of cold and flu have varying degrees of hepatotoxicity, whether taken orally or by injection, will have a negative impact on liver function. 2, away from hot pot and not fully cooked food: chronic liver disease patients often have digestive dysfunction, some patients combined with esophagogastric fundus varices, portal hypertensive gastropathy or peptic ulcer, easy to appear upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Hot pot is characterized by hot and spicy hot, spicy stimulation of the stomach, esophageal mucosa has a great role in the damage, clinical often see some chronic liver disease patients eat hot pot after the occurrence of upper gastrointestinal bleeding critical situation. In addition, some special snacks are often half-baked, not cooked food can easily lead to viral, bacterial, parasitic infections, liver disease patients’ digestive function is poor, not cooked food not only aggravates the burden on the liver, but also more serious is easy to lead to viral, bacterial or parasitic infections, once the infection occurs, it is very likely to lead to heavy hepatitis on the basis of the original chronic liver disease, which is life-threatening. 3, appropriate choice of high protein, high vitamin food: liver human chemical factory, is the body synthesize protein place, chronic liver disease patients more or less will have liver synthesis function decline, at this time should be appropriate to choose a high protein diet, more vitamin supplementation, the recovery of liver disease has a very good role in promoting. You can choose eggs, milk, lean meat, fish and soy products, and most fruits and vegetables can be safely consumed. However, the intake of high protein food should be moderate, too much food at one time may induce hepatic coma. 4, maintain emotional stability, relaxed mood: Chinese medicine theory that the liver is the master of emotions, for the “officer of the general”, people’s mental, emotional and other close relationship with the liver, so there is “anger is injurious to the liver,” said. So we should keep our emotions stable and relaxed. First of all, we should learn to be quiet. Liver blood, moving blood in the limbs, static blood to the liver, therefore, the ancients have “people lying down blood to the liver,” said. When the body of strenuous activity or emotional excitement, the liver to its stored blood to the periphery of the body for the body’s needs; when the body is in a resting state, the body’s peripheral blood demand is relatively reduced, part of the blood to be hidden in the liver, in order to achieve the purpose of liver health and restore liver function. Secondly, we should learn to control anger. Adverse emotions will stimulate the body to stress response, sympathetic nerve excitation, affecting the liver microcirculation disorders and the recovery of liver function. 5, to try to avoid drinking alcohol: as we all know, alcohol is the most direct damage to the liver. After entering the human body, most of the alcohol is absorbed in the stomach and intestines, and more than 90% is metabolized in the liver. Normal people drink a small amount of alcohol, the liver can be metabolized and detoxified, not to cause liver damage. However, patients with chronic liver disease have poor liver function, and even a small amount of alcohol consumption can aggravate liver function damage. 6, appropriate physical exercise: usually liver disease symptoms are not obvious, no obvious fatigue, liver function is basically normal patients, can be appropriate physical exercise, such as tai chi, walking, jogging, etc., should not be strenuous exercise, in order to exercise after not feel fatigue to the degree. It should be noted that, in order to avoid getting cold, the best choice of exercise time in the morning at ten o’clock and around four o’clock in the afternoon. Of course, the above six points do not fully cover all aspects of winter liver health care, but as long as you can seriously do the above aspects, most patients with chronic liver disease can safely through the cold and long winter.
