Zhuang Hui, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, pointed out that fatty liver is a major hazard of obesity, and it is important to control diet and exercise. Don't let fat, sweet, and thick tastes become the protagonist of your diet. Once fatty liver deteriorates, it can evolve into cirrhosis and even lead to liver failure.

3) Finally, there is no emphasis on hygiene.

Both hepatitis B and hepatitis C are transmitted through blood, so you should be very careful in life. For example, I never go to a foot wash shop to wash my feet or set up a street stall for a haircut. Instead, I go to a regular barber shop for a haircut, and I only do it without shaving because it is difficult for the barber shop to completely disinfect the equipment

How to protect the liver during frequent drinking and socializing outside

First, before drinking, you should eat some staple foods in time, such as rice, Mantou, noodles, etc., to avoid drinking on an empty stomach. Do not mix alcohol with carbonated beverages such as cola or soda, as the ingredients in the beverage can accelerate the body's absorption of alcohol. It is even more important not to mix various types of alcohol because they have different ingredients and contents, which can cause chemical reactions and make people prone to getting drunk and having headaches after drinking.

Secondly, when drinking alcohol, remember the principles of slow, less, and more. Slow refers to slowly getting down the stomach and not drinking heavily. Shao refers to drinking small portions each time and not filling one cup at a time. It often refers to a combination of food and drink. While drinking alcohol, eat some staple foods, soy products, etc. to protect the stomach and liver. When drinking alcohol, one should eat more green leafy vegetables, which contain antioxidants and vitamins to prevent alcohol damage to the liver. You can also eat some soy products, which contain lecithin that can protect the liver.

Thirdly, before drinking alcohol, take Cistanche deserticola or processed Cistanche deserticola.

Fourthly, after drinking alcohol, try to drink hot soup such as fish soup stewed with shredded ginger, which has a better anti-alcoholic effect. Do not use strong tea to sober up after drinking, as the theophylline in strong tea can constrict blood vessels, increase blood pressure, and instead exacerbate headaches. You can eat fruits or drink juice because the acidic components in fruits and juice can neutralize alcohol. You can also drink plenty of water to promote the rapid elimination of alcohol from the body.
