Whether your liver is good, your limbs 'know'! These kinds of 'abnormalities' appear in the hands and feet, be vigilant
As the saying goes: cure the liver first. The liver is the largest detoxification organ in the human body. It is like a human chemical factory, responsible for most of the metabolism and material transformation of the human body.
The liver is rich in organelles and enzyme systems, and substance metabolism and biotransformation are mainly carried out in the liver. It is always busy metabolizing harmful substances in the body, turning them into harmless substances and expelling them from the body. Therefore, it can be said that the liver is one of the most tiring and responsible organs of the body.
The five behaviors that the liver is most afraid of, I advise you to do less.
additive food
Eat as little as possible unnatural foods with various additives. Because pigments, spices, and preservatives are all chemical substances, they will damage the liver! Best to eat less!
love to drink
After alcohol enters the human body, 10% will be excreted with exhaled gas or urine, and the remaining 90% needs to be metabolized by the liver. Therefore, the alcohol metabolite, ethanol, is extremely harmful to the liver and has high toxicity, ranging from alcoholic liver disease to liver cirrhosis.
Taking drugs indiscriminately
As the saying goes, drugs are poisonous. The liver is an organ involved in drug metabolism, and indiscriminate use of drugs without the doctor's instructions will pose a threat to the liver. According to statistics, drug-induced liver injury accounts for more than 5% of hospitalized patients. Therefore, long-term medication users, it is best to regularly check the liver function, to avoid increased damage to the liver drugs.
staying up late for a long time
11pm to 3am is the best time to detoxify the liver. If you stay up late for a long time, your liver will be damaged.
A study of the relationship between sleep duration and nonalcoholic liver disease in Japanese men and women found that women who slept less than 6 hours a day had a 44% higher risk of developing nonalcoholic liver disease than women who slept 6 to 7 hours.
smoking
Cigarettes contain harmful substances such as tar, nicotine, and phenol, which need to be metabolized in the liver, which increases the burden on the liver and also damages the liver.
Judging whether the liver is good or not from the hands and feet
The liver is known as the most silent organ in the human body. It is the only organ without pain nerves. No matter how tired or painful, there is no obvious direct pain feedback.
If the liver is not good, it usually appears on the hands and feet. If none of the following characteristics account for it, it means that your liver is very healthy!
Five places to look at hands
discolored nails
Nails can tell if they are healthy. People with healthy livers have fully nourished nails, reddish white, shiny, smooth and firm. People with bad livers will have abnormal nails.
First, when liver cells are damaged, the ability to absorb, combine and secrete bilirubin decreases, the concentration of bilirubin in the blood increases relatively, and the nails, tongue coating, and even eyes turn yellow.
Insufficient liver blood leads to brittle nails and easy breakage, vertical stripes and depressions. You should supplement your body with nutrition, do not overwork, and pay attention to rest.
Liver palm
The blood color of the palm becomes uneven, and the thenar hemorrhage at the base of the thumb and little finger appears flaky, which is the so-called liver palm.
The liver palm looks red, but turns white when pressed, and turns red when released.
spider nevi
A spider naevi is a slightly raised center point surrounded by small branches of radiating blood vessels, shaped like a spider. After pressing, the red mole disappears.
The cause is the same as that of the liver palm, both due to the decreased function of liver inactivated estrogen.
blue veins on the back of the hand
It is said that the liver governs the tendons. When the liver is blocked by liver qi and the qi and blood are not running smoothly, blue veins will appear on the hands.
Increased finger gaps
For people with poor liver, the thickness of the middle finger and other fingers are obviously different. Generally speaking, the root becomes thinner, and the gap between the middle finger and the fingers on both sides becomes significantly larger.
look at the feet
The soles of the feet are waxy yellow
The soles of healthy people's feet are red and shiny. If the liver function declines, the bilirubin in the blood cannot be excreted normally, and it will flow back into the blood, causing the soles of the feet to be sallow.
cracked soles
When the skin on the soles of the feet is found to be dry and cracked, it proves that the liver cells in the body are damaged, which will lead to endocrine disorders.
If the condition persists, it can cause dark yellow skin and often peeling and other symptoms.
swelling of the feet
The liver is responsible for water metabolism in the body. If it is damaged, there will be problems with the ability to metabolize water. If the water cannot be discharged in time, it will stay in the body and cause edema of the feet.
