Food is the most important thing for people. People can't eat food, or they will starve to death. But people can't overeat, and their diet needs to follow the rules. If they break the law, they will pay the price of health. And overeating is the most harmful to our liver, because the liver is the largest digestive organ of the human body and also the organ for detoxification. The liver is the largest chemical plant in the body, and our world is colorful. Once the liver fails seriously, our world will become black and white. So let's first understand the powerful function of the liver:
First, metabolic function:
① Sugar metabolism: Starch and sugar in the diet are digested into glucose, which is absorbed by the intestine and combined by the liver.
Liver glycogen is stored; When the body needs it, liver cells can break down glycogen into glucose for the body to use.
② protein metabolism: the liver is the only synthetic organ of human albumin; And amino acid metabolism such as deamination reaction,
Urea synthesis and ammonia treatment are also carried out in the liver.
③ Fat metabolism. The synthesis of phospholipids and lipoprotein are all carried out in the liver.
④ Vitamin metabolism: The synthesis and storage of many vitamins are closely related to the liver. For example, both vitamin A and vitamin E are stored in the liver.
⑤ Hormone metabolism: The liver is involved in the inactivation of hormones. When the liver function is damaged for a long time, there may be imbalance of sex hormones.
Bile production and excretion: help digestion and absorption of fat.
Third, detoxification: some harmful wastes and foreign poisons and toxins,
The metabolism and decomposition products of drugs are detoxified in the liver.
Immune function: The liver is the largest reticuloendothelial phagocytosis system.
5. Coagulation function: Almost all coagulation factors are made by the liver, and the severity of liver function damage is often parallel to the degree of coagulation dysfunction. Some patients with liver cirrhosis will bleed or even die because of liver failure.
There are also some functions, from which we can see the power of the liver. So don't hurt the liver easily, overeating will increase the burden on the liver. First, it will increase the burden of fat metabolism, sugar metabolism, gallbladder and liver detoxification. These will make the liver overwhelmed. When the liver can't complete these heavy tasks, it will be hurt. So, don't overeat to satisfy your tastes and interests.
Overeating is harmful to the liver, but it also has many disadvantages.
1, will lead to obesity, obesity is not a phenomenon, but a disease, and it will also lead to many chronic diseases.
2, leading to stomach problems, overeating will affect gastric acid secretion and affect digestion.
3, suffering from intestinal diseases, there may be obstruction or constipation.
4, cancer, because overeating and eating too much will reduce the ability to inhibit the activity of cell carcinogens and increase the possibility of cancer.
5. Osteoporosis. Overeating can easily lead to excessive decalcification of bones, and the probability of osteoporosis will be greatly improved.
