The health of the liver can be judged by the amount of alcohol consumed

People who love wine will have the habit of drinking, whether it is for work or at the dinner table at home. Some people regard drinking as a hobby, and some men drink because of work and social activities. But no matter what the reason, drinking by male friends will bring harm to their bodies. Experts remind that whether you have a history of liver disease or are healthy, if you used to have a good alcohol tolerance but find that your alcohol tolerance has decreased significantly, or find that your physical strength is not as good as before overnight, you should not take it lightly, because this may be a serious warning signal from the liver.

The liver is responsible for detoxification of the body

Experts say that as the largest digestive gland in the digestive system, the liver is an important metabolic organ in the human body. Every day, the food people ingest undergoes important chemical changes in the liver. It is also the place where substances such as protein and cholesterol are synthesized. The liver can not only convert food into energy, but is also the main organ for detoxification of the human body, with the function of dissolving bacteria, alcohol and other toxins. For example, some intestinal parasites release toxic ammonia when they decompose, but the liver converts ammonia into urea and excretes it out of the body. The metabolism of alcohol in the body is also mainly carried out in the liver. After drinking, a small part of the alcohol will be excreted from the body through breathing and sweating, and most of the remaining alcohol will be converted into acetaldehyde in the liver. The symptoms of drunkenness are caused by acetaldehyde.

Since the liver is the only organ in the human body without pain nerves, it is difficult to detect the early stages of chronic damage from viruses, alcohol and drugs, so people generally ignore the daily health care of the liver. Generally, the aggravation of liver disease is subtle, and by the time you feel pain, the condition is often already quite serious.

Experts say that in addition to paying attention to these warning signs in the body, people at high risk of liver disease and patients with liver disease should prevent liver disease. Quitting alcohol and ensuring sleep are two necessary conditions for patients with liver disease to stay healthy.

Spices, fast food, etc. also increase the burden on the liver

In addition, once many people are busy, they like to buy semi-finished products or even fast food for dinner after work, but over time, it is very easy to cause nutritional imbalance, which leads to a greater burden on the liver. Because many fast foods contain a lot of preservatives to keep them fresh, especially smoked and pickled sausages, bacon, roast duck, etc., which are a heavy burden for people with poor livers.

Warm reminder: Male friends should control the frequency and amount of their drinking. Remember not to drink too much, otherwise it is very likely that excessive drinking will lead to gastric bleeding or liver problems.
