If the liver is diseased, the 'legs' should be reminded first. If there are 3 flaws in the legs, the doctor: nourish the liver as soon as possible

Surveys show that more and more people in China are suffering from liver disease. According to survey statistics, one out of every 12 people are sick. The liver is the giant chemical factory of the human body and plays a very important role in the transport of qi and blood. Therefore, liver disease easily involves other viscera. If there is a problem with the liver, there will be problems in the metabolism of nutrients in the body, and in severe cases, it will affect blood sugar, blood lipids, and even life-threatening.

Legs are the beacon of health, don't be careless.

From the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, the relationship between the legs and the liver is very close. Zhang Chunyan, chief physician of the Department of Rheumatology, Dongfang Hospital, Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said: "The liver stores blood to govern tendons, the kidney stores essence to govern bones, and the liver blood and kidney essence are the material basis for the physiological functions of muscles and bones. Liver blood filling nourishes meridian tendons throughout the body, which would otherwise cause venous pain.

From the perspective of Western medicine, the legs carry 50% of the bones, muscles, nerves and blood vessels, and 50% of the blood flow. People have about 70% of their activities in their lifetime. Energy expenditure needs to be done by the legs, so when the body is sick, it may be reflected in the legs.

Any physical discomfort should be highly regarded, not ignored, and going to the hospital for a checkup as soon as possible can help ensure health, and even physical illness can be treated early.

If the liver is not good, what blemishes will the legs show?

- Edema of the legs.

In the process of development of liver disease, especially patients with severe liver disease such as liver cirrhosis and liver cancer, they are often accompanied by poor lymphatic drainage and hypoproteinemia.

These disorders affect fluids throughout the body, causing abnormal edema in the lower extremities and feet. When this problem occurs, it is best to go to the hospital to check your liver function.

- Yellowing of the skin of the legs.

Patients with chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and liver cancer are often accompanied by jaundice during the development of the disease.

Because liver disease can lead to decreased liver function cells, abnormal secretion of bilirubin, etc., these can lead to hepatocellular jaundice, especially the skin, sclera and foot skin.

When you find that the skin of your legs is abnormally yellow, even like a child's jaundice, this is not a normal phenomenon. I hope you can go to the hospital to check your liver function as soon as possible.

There are red spots on the soles of the feet.

If a lot of flaky erythema is found on the soles of the feet, the plaques turn pale after pressing, and turn red when the pressure disappears, you need to be alert to the liver palm.

This condition is caused by chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and other diseases where liver function continues to decline. When these symptoms occur in the body, it is not necessarily caused by liver disease. The body will also be accompanied by digestive system symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, and abdominal distension, as well as systemic symptoms such as general fatigue, itchy skin, and spider nevus.

There is no need to panic if a single symptom occurs in the body, but it is necessary to pay attention. It is best to go to the hospital for relevant examinations to ensure normal liver function.

Doctor: To nourish the liver, eat less of these three kinds of vegetarian dishes.

China has always been a big country with liver disease. In 2020, there will be 910,000 new cases of liver cancer worldwide, and China will account for 45% (about 410,000 cases). In addition to the high incidence of liver cancer, the mortality rate in China is also very high.

1. Soak the fungus for a long time.

Fungus is a mushroom food, rich in nutrients and crispy in taste. It is one of the common vegetables in the household.

But many people don't know the benefits of fungi. Most of the market is dry goods and foaming methods. If the method is wrong, the foaming time is too long, which will breed a toxin called rice yeast acid.

This substance is highly toxic to human internal organs. When ingested, it affects liver tissue, increasing the risk of liver disease and cancer.

2. Pickled vegetables.

In ancient times, products were scarce and vegetables were inconvenient to store. At that time, people thought of pickled vegetables, which are convenient for storage and give the vegetables a rich flavor.

When pickling vegetables, you need to add a lot of salt, and after a long period of fermentation, a substance called nitrite is produced.

When ingested, the body reacts with amines in proteins to produce toxins (nitrosamines). When ingested, it increases the risk of hepatocyte edema and lesions, which is a health hazard.

3. Bracken

With the continuous improvement of living standards, people gradually get tired of big fish and meat, and begin to pursue wild vegetables, but not all wild vegetables are good for health.

Wild vegetables should be used in moderation, such as bracken, which contains fern, which is toxic to the liver. After being ingested into the human body, it will increase the burden on the liver, damage liver cells, and increase the risk of liver disease.

Before eating bracken, it is best to scald the water first, which can effectively remove the original bracken, minimize the damage to the liver, and keep the body strong. Before eating any food, the first thing to know is whether it will cause harm to the body.

How to take care of the liver?

Make sure you get enough sleep .

Rest can reduce physical exertion, increase the blood flow of the liver, enable the liver to obtain more blood oxygen and nutrient supply, promote the repair of liver cells, and reduce the physiological burden of the liver, which is beneficial to all patients with liver disease. Ensuring adequate sleep at night also helps to regulate hormone levels in the body, restore liver function, and maintain normal metabolism. Sleeping less than 4 hours a day had a 40% drop in the immune system.

Make sure you have enough drinking water.

Increasing the amount of drinking water helps to speed up blood circulation and boost metabolism. Drinking plenty of water is more helpful in boosting the glands, especially the digestive glands and pancreatic juice. The secretion of bile facilitates digestion, absorption and waste excretion, and reduces the damage of metabolites and toxins to the liver. When drinking water, drink slowly. You can drink some botanical teas, but don't replace the boiled water with any beverages.

Be cheerful .

If you want to have a strong liver, you should first learn to suppress your bad emotions. Even if you're angry, don't exceed three minutes. Trying to stay calm, optimistic, cheerful, and carefree helps to reduce anger and also helps to express liver qi in the body. If you violate this rule, it can lead to liver damage. It is suggested that we must stay happy and cultivate our own interests.
