Are fatty liver and cirrhosis "comes from eating"? Nutritionists announce the "5 most liver-damaging foods": these late-night snacks are all on the list
Fatty liver is caused by “eating the wrong food”? What are the symptoms of the three common liver diseases?
The “liver” crisis that makes “life turn black and white” is actually hidden in the daily diet? Be aware that long-term poor eating habits may indeed harm your liver, and these foods are not uncommon! First of all, you need to understand the three common liver disease problems. Be especially careful if you have the following symptoms. “Liver suffering in life” may have already found you!
1. Hepatitis
Fatigue, loss of appetite
Abdominal discomfort or pain
Jaundice (yellowing of skin and eyes)
Darker urine
2. Fatty liver
Fatigue, loss of appetite
Abdominal discomfort or bloating
Weight gain
May have jaundice
3. Cirrhosis of the liver
Jaundice
Bleeding or bruising easily
Changes in mental status (such as confusion or coma)
Edema (especially in the abdomen and legs)
Not only fried foods, but also corn chips are risky! Stop eating the 5 foods that hurt your liver the most
After understanding the symptoms of common liver diseases, we will announce the five foods that are most harmful to the liver and that people should limit or avoid eating:
Fried food. Vegetable oils can easily invade into cell membranes after being cooked at high temperatures. Long-term consumption may cause blood vessels and arteries to lack elasticity. Fried foods cooked with salad oil and soybean oil should be avoided as much as possible, such as salty crispy chicken, chicken steak, fried squid, French fries, etc. People who have the habit of eating late night snacks should reduce their intake.
Canned meat. Most households add corn starch when making it; carbohydrates like corn starch, when combined with the fat and protein of meat, will cause “glycation”, which can easily block blood vessels and arteries, thereby affecting the liver and other organs.
Corn flakes (GMO corn). The genetically modified corn flour used in corn flakes contains herbicidal pesticides and bad sources of oils. In addition, common corn chip dipping sauces in daily life also use high-fat cheese sauce. Combining the two makes it easier to eat excess fat.
High fructose corn syrup foods. High fructose can easily cause severe “insulin resistance”, just like alcohol is the main culprit of fatty liver and other liver diseases.
Foods containing aflatoxin. Aflatoxin is one of the main culprits of liver cancer. This mold is easy to breed in dried beans, nuts or grains, such as peanuts, mung beans or red beans, white rice or wheat.
After introducing the five most liver-damaging foods, we would also like to remind the public that they can eat more of the following five “liver-protecting foods” to protect the health of the liver:
Cruciferous vegetables. Rich in antioxidants, vitamin C and fiber, it helps eliminate toxins from the body and reduces the risk of liver damage. Broccoli, kale, and kale are all good food sources.
High-quality grass-fed protein. Grass-fed dairy products contain higher levels of Omega-3 fatty acids and nutrients that help the liver function and repair properly. Such as grass-fed poultry, dairy products (cheese, milk), etc.
Eggs. Contains high choline, which can support bile production, promote fat metabolism, protect liver cells and adjust cholesterol levels.
Cod liver oil. Rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, it is very beneficial for lowering blood lipids, reducing liver inflammation and protecting the health of liver cells.
Deep sea fish. It is also rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, which helps reduce liver fat accumulation and improve the liver’s anti-inflammatory ability.
