Keep our liver safe.

The liver, known as the “human chemical plant”, is the most important metabolic and detoxicating organ in the human body. At the same time, the liver is one of the largest and most important organs in the human body, with many essential functions, including metabolism, detoxification, synthetic protein and the storage of nutrients. The health of the liver is essential to our overall health, so it is particularly important to understand how to protect the liver and maintain its functioning. What are the basic functions of the liver? 1. Metabolism function: The liver is responsible for converting nutrients into energy in food and storing excess nutrients. It plays a central role in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. 2. Detoxification function: The liver helps to remove toxins and waste from the body, including alcohol, drugs and other harmful substances. Hepatic cells have the ability to convert these harmful substances into harmless forms, thus avoiding harm to the body. 3. Synthesis and storage: the liver synthesizes a variety of important proteins, including coagulation and protein. In addition, it stores vitamins, minerals and sugar plains to provide energy when needed. 4. Courage generation and distribution: the liver produces bourbon, helping to digest and absorb fat. It also plays an important role in intestines. The health of the liver is affected by a number of factors, including: Alcoholic: chronic alcohol consumption can cause alcohol hepatitis disease, which can cause cirrhosis or liver cancer in serious cases. 3. Virus infections: Virus infections such as hepatitis B and C can lead to chronic hepatitis, fibrosis and even cirrhosis. 4. Drug damage: Certain drugs, if used inappropriately, may cause liver damage. Obesity and lifestyle: Overweight and lack of exercise are closely related to non-alcoholic fat liver disease (NAFLD). III. How should we protect liver health? 1. Healthy diet, balanced diet: choice of fibre-rich fruit, vegetables and whole grains, limiting foods with high sugar and fat. High-quality proteins (e.g. fish, skinny meat, beans) are also important. Maintaining water intake: Drinking enough water per day contributes to normal liver work and metabolism. 2. Control of alcohol intake and proper drinking of alcohol: if you drink alcohol, it should be appropriate, with no more than two cups a day for men and no more than one cup for women. It’s better to opt for a complete cessation. 3. Increase physical exercise and regular exercise: moderate aerobic activity of at least 150 minutes per week, such as walking, swimming or cycling, contributes to weight control and improved liver health. 4. Periodic medical check-ups, liver function checks: periodic liver function tests to detect early liver problems. In particular, people with family history or existing risk factors need more attention. 5. Attention to drug use, rational use of drugs: use of drugs in accordance with medical instructions and to avoid arbitrary use of drugs and health products, in particular certain components that may damage the liver. 6. Vaccination against viral infections: vaccination against hepatitis B and other related vaccines to reduce the risk of hepatitis virus infection. Avoiding exposure to harmful substances, with attention to environmental pollution: Reduce exposure to harmful chemicals and toxins, such as certain cleaning agents and pesticides. The necessary protection measures shall be taken in the working or living environment. Protection of liver health is an important part of the maintenance of overall health. The risk of liver diseases can be significantly reduced through measures such as healthy diets, adequate exercise, periodic medical examinations and the use of medications. In addition, public awareness of liver health should be strengthened, with a view to promoting a sound lifestyle and raising awareness of liver health. The preservation of liver health requires a concerted effort by society as a whole, from the individual to the family to society. Only then can we really protect our “source of life” — the liver.
