How far is fatty liver from liver cancer?
The hospital physical examination report came out, "Why do I get fatty liver?" "I usually eat very lightly and I am not fat. How can I get fatty liver? " "Do you want to take medicine for fatty liver?"
I believe that the above problems will cause many friends to curse. In recent years, with the continuous progress of medical examination methods and the gradual change of modern lifestyle and eating habits, the prevalence of fatty liver is becoming increasingly global. The prevalence of fatty liver is not only high, but also increasing, and the trend of youthfulness is obvious, posing a great threat to human health!
Who is prone to fatty liver?
1. Abdominal obesity
Abdominal obesity, in other words, is a person with a "big belly" and a "beer belly". Medical research shows that obesity is often complicated with metabolic diseases, and fatty liver is probably the result of abnormal fat metabolism.
The degree of liver fat accumulation is directly proportional to body weight. Fortunately, after controlling the weight of obese friends, their fat infiltration will be relatively reduced or even disappeared.
2. Alcoholics
Long-term or short-term heavy drinking will lead to alcoholic fatty liver, commonly known as "alcoholic hepatitis". After drinking alcohol, alcohol needs to be degraded by the liver, and its decomposition products are obviously toxic to liver cells. Early liver injury may be manifested as alcoholic fatty liver.
Persistent alcohol damage can also lead to alcoholic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, abnormal liver function and so on. In severe cases, ascites and leg swelling may occur, and the risk of liver cancer is greatly increased. Therefore, for friends who drink too much and have fatty liver, it is very necessary to give up drinking as soon as possible and seek medical treatment in time.
3. People who eat less and eat more.
Fatty liver literally means "fatty disease" In fact, the liver is the "hub" of fat storage. People with chronic malnutrition lack protein, which is often caused by insufficient food intake or digestive dysfunction, and cannot synthesize apolipoprotein. Apolipoprotein in the liver is used to "carry" excess fat. If protein is insufficient, fat may accumulate in the liver and form fatty liver.
Therefore, people with long-term malnutrition, excessive dieting and simple diet do not mean that they will not get fatty liver, and a balanced diet is the most important.
4. Drugs and other reasons
Some drugs can lead to fatty liver by inhibiting the synthesis of protein, such as tetracycline, adrenocortical hormone and amiodarone. If these drugs must be used for a long time, the doctor will recommend regular review of liver function so as to adjust the medication plan in time.
In addition, if patients with viral hepatitis, especially hepatitis C, excessively restrict activities and eat a large number of high-sugar and high-calorie diets, liver cell fat is easy to accumulate, and it may also manifest as fatty liver in the early stage.
Manifestations of fatty liver
Mild fatty liver disease
Often there is no obvious discomfort. At the beginning, I may just feel tired, and gradually have symptoms such as fever, sweating, bitter taste, loose bowels and constipation. Many people accidentally find that they have fatty liver after doing abdominal ultrasound.
Moderate and severe fatty liver
Symptoms similar to chronic hepatitis may appear, such as not wanting to eat, fatigue, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and dull pain in the right upper abdomen. Some patients will feel bloated.
Moreover, fatty liver is caused by unhealthy lifestyle, infection and other factors, and this group of people is also a high-risk group of diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease and cerebral infarction. Friends with these diseases should also be alert to their livers.
How does fatty liver exercise?
(The total exercise time is not less than 150 minutes), such as jogging, swimming, badminton, yoga and other sports. You can choose the right exercise according to your physique, with three or five friends, and gradually increase the amount of exercise from a small amount to a moderate amount to strengthen the consumption of body fat.
Reminder: Don't exercise for the sake of "exercise". You should refer to the standard exercise mode and adjust your breathing rhythm. Excessive exercise is counterproductive, damaging joints and muscles. At the same time, don't be too hasty when exercising. Rome was not built in a day. Since fatty liver is the result of accumulation, physical exercise should be persistent and persistent.
Eating the following eight foods regularly is beneficial to the treatment of fatty liver.
1, oats can reduce serum cholesterol and triglycerides.
2. Corn is rich in calcium, selenium, lecithin and vitamin E, etc. It has the effect of lowering serum cholesterol.

4. Garlic contains a mixture of sulfides, which can lower blood cholesterol, prevent thrombosis and help increase the content of high density lipoprotein.
5, apples are rich in potassium, which can excrete excess potassium salt in the body and maintain normal blood pressure.
