1, no breakfast
Nutrition experts say that eating breakfast helps to neutralize stomach acid, protect the liver and reduce the risk of diseases such as pancreatitis, diabetes, gallstones and constipation. Dr. Hermite Suri, a holistic nutritionist in Ontario, Canada, said that a healthy breakfast can prolong satiety and avoid liver damage.
Step 2 drink too much
Dr. Nemo Ashi, a hepatologist at the Zef Medical Research Center in Israel, said that excessive drinking will reduce the ability of the liver to purify blood, lead to an increase in toxins in the body, and induce liver damage and various diseases. In addition, alcoholism can easily lead to liver poisoning and induce hepatitis. Long-term excessive drinking can easily lead to cirrhosis. Dr. Ashe said that drinking more than two glasses (25 ml) of high-concentration wine every day would damage the liver.
Step 3 eat too much
Many people know that eating too much will increase the burden on the stomach and induce fatty liver. Dr Paradi pointed out that overeating is not only harmful to gastrointestinal health, but also easy to lead to a large increase of free radicals in the body. The key function of the liver is to help the human body deal with free radicals, eliminate toxins and purify the blood. The more free radicals in the human body, the more serious the damage to liver function.
4. Excessive intake of processed food.
Dr. Hidachiran Zara Hussain, a registered nutrition therapist in India, said that many food additives such as preservatives, pigments and artificial sweeteners were added to many processed foods. These additives contain a variety of chemicals that are difficult for human body to decompose, which will increase the burden of liver detoxification and induce liver injury after entering the human body.
5. I prefer fried food
A study reported by CBS found that eating fried food for a month can cause obvious changes in the liver and trigger changes in enzymes similar to hepatitis. Dr. Drew Auden, a famous American medical expert, pointed out that the accumulation of oil and saturated fatty acids can lead to fatty liver. Unhealthy cooking oil will increase the risk of heart disease and liver disease. Relatively speaking, olive oil and sesame oil are healthier.
6. Eat half-baked or burnt food.
Dr. Hussein said that undercooked food or overcooked burnt food (especially meat) can also easily lead to liver damage. Studies have found that drunken shrimp, oysters and half-baked shellfish often carry bacteria and parasites. Once acute gastroenteritis and dysentery occur, it is easy to aggravate liver disease and even induce hepatic coma.
