Liver disease, 'legs' remind 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 suffer from liver disease. According to survey statistics, one out of every 12 people gets sick. The liver is the giant chemical factory of the human body and plays a very important role in the transportation of Qi and blood. Therefore, liver lesions easily involve other viscera. If there is a problem with the liver, there will be problems with the nutrient metabolism in the body, and in severe cases, it will affect blood sugar and blood lipids, and even endanger life.

Legs are the signal lights of health, so don't be careless.

From the point of view of Chinese medicine, the relationship between legs and 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 control tendons, the kidney stores essence to control bones, and liver blood and kidney essence are the material basis for the physiological functions of muscles and bones. Sufficient liver blood can nourish the meridians and tendons of the whole body, otherwise it will cause pain in the veins.

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 do about 70% of their activities in their lifetime. Energy consumption 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 paid great attention to instead of being ignored. Going to the hospital for an examination as soon as possible can help ensure health, and even physical diseases can be treated early.

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

- Leg edema.

During the development of liver disease, especially in patients with serious liver disease such as liver cirrhosis and liver cancer, it is often accompanied by poor lymphatic drainage and hypoproteinemia.

These diseases affect body fluids throughout the body, causing abnormal edema symptoms such as lower limbs and feet. When this problem occurs, it is best to go to the hospital for examination and check your liver function.

- Yellowing of the skin on the legs.

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

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

When you find that the skin on 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 as soon as possible to check the liver function.

There are erythema on the soles of the feet.

If a lot of flaky erythema is found on the sole of the foot, the plaque turns pale after pressing, and turns red after the pressure disappears, you need to be alert to the liver palm.

This condition is caused by chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and other diseases in which liver function continues to decline. When these symptoms appear 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, skin itching, and spider moles.

There is no need to panic too much if you have a single symptom in your body, but you need to pay attention. It is best to go to the hospital for relevant examinations to ensure the normal operation of liver function.

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

China has always been a big country for 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, and it is the second highest cancer in China, which seriously threatens people's health.

1. Soak the fungus for a long time.

Fungi are mushroom food, rich in nutrition and crispy in taste. It is one of the common vegetables in the family.

But many people don't know the benefits of fungi, most of the market is dry goods, foam method, if the method is wrong, the foam time is too long will breed a toxin called rice yeast acid.

This substance is highly toxic to the internal organs of the human body. After ingestion in the human body, it will affect the liver tissue and increase the risk of liver disease and cancer.

2. Pickled vegetables.

In ancient times, there was a shortage of products and it was inconvenient to store vegetables. At that time, people thought of pickling vegetables, which is convenient for storage and can bring rich taste to vegetables.

When pickling vegetables, you need to add a lot of salt. After a long period of fermentation, a substance called nitrite will be produced.

Ingestion of nitrite in the body reacts with amines in proteins to produce toxins (nitrosamines). After ingestion in the human body, it will increase the risk of liver cell edema and pathological changes, and endanger health.

3. Bracken

With the continuous improvement of living standards, people are gradually 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 taken in moderation, such as bracken, which contains the original bracken, which is poisonous to the liver. After ingestion in the human body, it will increase the burden on the liver, damage the 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 damage to the liver, and keep the body strong. Before eating any food, you must first know whether it will cause harm to the body.

How to take care of your liver?

Get enough sleep .

Rest can reduce physical exertion, increase blood flow to the liver, enable the liver to obtain more blood oxygen and nutrient supply, promote liver cell repair, and reduce the physiological burden on the liver, which is beneficial to all patients with liver diseases. Ensuring adequate sleep at night can also help regulate hormone levels in the body, restore liver function, and maintain normal metabolism. Those who slept less than 4 hours a day had a 40% decline in their immune systems.

Make sure you have plenty of drinking water.

Increasing the amount of drinking water helps to accelerate blood circulation and promote metabolism. Drinking plenty of water is more helpful to promote the secretion of glands, especially the digestive glands and pancreatic juice. The secretion of bile is beneficial to digestion, absorption and waste discharge, and reduces the damage of metabolites and toxins to the liver. When drinking water, do so slowly. You can drink some herbal teas, but don't use any beverages instead of boiling water.

Be cheerful .

Try to keep calm, optimistic, cheerful, and carefree, which can help reduce anger and express liver qi in the body. If you violate this rule, it can lead to liver damage. It is suggested that we must be happy and develop our own interests.
