'Three whites' hurt the liver, eat less if you can, and 'three reds' nourish the liver, the more the better!

As the saying goes, sickness comes from the mouth, and unhealthy eating habits will bring great harm to our body. For example, the liver is the largest digestive gland in our body and the central station of human metabolism. It is not only responsible for metabolism and detoxification, but also secretes bile, manufactures coagulation factors, regulates blood volume, etc. Because the liver has too many tasks, it makes it easily damaged.

Fat: The fat referred to here is actually the fat (white fat) that we often eat. A long-term high-fat diet can cause great harm to the body. First of all, a high-fat diet will induce obesity. The harm to the body is not so great. However, these fats will accumulate on the liver, leading to fatty liver, and fatty liver can develop into cirrhosis or even liver cancer; accumulation on blood vessels induces hyperlipidemia and arteriosclerosis, and arteriosclerosis can induce cerebrovascular disease, cardiovascular disease, etc. Excessive intake of fat can also harm the heart and induce coronary heart disease.

Relevant data show that about 60% of people who drink regularly will develop fatty liver. If fatty liver is not controlled in time, it will turn into alcoholic hepatitis, followed by alcoholic cirrhosis, and eventually develop into liver cancer.

Drugs: There are countless liver damages caused by indiscriminately taking drugs every year. Relevant data show that up to 20% of patients with acute liver damage are caused by drug-induced liver damage. Generally speaking, drugs will be decomposed by the liver after entering the body, and the toxicity of many drugs will damage liver cells, increase the burden on the liver, and eventually induce liver disease.
