Men's health care: Beware of the most liver-damaging bad habits in daily life

1. Irritability

Irritable people: Chinese medicine says: "Worry hurts the spleen, anger hurts the liver." Chinese medicine believes that among the seven emotions, anger is the most detrimental to the liver. Anger can cause the liver to vent abnormally, causing liver qi stagnation, which can easily lead to liver disease over time. When people's emotions fluctuate violently, the body's hormone secretion loses balance, leading to blood circulation disorders, affecting the liver's blood supply, and causing liver cells to die due to ischemia. This is what Chinese medicine says "worry hurts the spleen, anger hurts the liver."

Solution: Regulate your emotions

Regulating emotions, resolving negative emotions in your heart, and keeping yourself in a good mood is beneficial to the health care of the liver. The core of emotional liver protection is to learn to control anger. Even if you are angry, do not be angry for more than 3 minutes. Try to be calm, optimistic, and carefree, so that the liver fire can be extinguished, the liver qi can grow normally, smoothly and maintain long-term health.

2. Love to drink beer

If you already have a kidney disease and drink a lot of beer without limit, uric acid will accumulate and cause blockage of the renal tubules, resulting in kidney failure.

Solution: Annual urine test

If a problem with the kidneys is found during a blood test, the kidney function may have been seriously damaged. Instead of waiting for a blood test to understand the kidneys, it is better to have a urine test regularly because urine testing is the simplest and quickest way to understand the kidneys.

3. Don’t like to drink water

Most men are not very interested in drinking water, and they don’t even think it’s important, but in fact, this can easily cause serious harm to the body. The metabolic waste in our body is mainly processed by the liver and kidneys. The kidneys, which only account for 1% of the body’s body weight, receive 1/4 of the body’s cardiac output, and 1-2 liters of blood pass through the kidneys every minute.

Therefore, the kidneys receive far more waste than other internal organs. The most important function of the kidneys is to regulate the balance of water and electrolytes in the human body, metabolize waste generated by physiological activities, and excrete them in urine. However, when performing these functions, they need sufficient water to assist.

Solution: Drink more water

Developing the habit of drinking plenty of water can dilute urine and allow it to be excreted quickly. It can not only prevent stones, but also help dilute urine when consuming too much salt, thereby protecting the kidneys.
