How can women protect their liver?

The liver is an important metabolic organ in the body, responsible for the metabolism of toxins and other harmful substances in the body. If the liver shows symptoms of disease, it is very detrimental to health. Some bad living habits, such as drinking, and some infectious factors may cause more serious liver disease symptoms. So how can women protect their livers? Today we will introduce it to you.

1. The liver can also be “thirsty”

Spring is dry and prone to water shortage. Drinking more water can replenish body fluids, enhance blood circulation, and promote metabolism. Drinking more water is also beneficial for digestion and absorption, and elimination of waste, reducing damage to the liver caused by metabolic products and toxins.

2. The liver prefers green foods

Green, white and light blue can help reduce the psychological tension and fear of the disease in patients with liver disease. The outdoor green tree-shaded lawns, calm lakes and elegant green environment can all promote the recovery of patients with liver disease. Placing a pot of green plants on your desk, choosing light-colored wall colors when decorating, and even wearing more light green clothes can all help nourish your liver. Traditional Chinese medicine says: "Green enters the liver meridian." Green food can benefit the circulation and metabolism of liver qi, eliminate fatigue, and relieve liver depression. Eating more dark or green foods can nourish and protect the liver, such as broccoli, spinach, green apples, etc.

3. Selenium supplementation is necessary for liver health

Liver disease patients generally have low immune function, the most obvious manifestation of which is that the virus in the body is difficult to completely eliminate and the disease is prone to recurring. Selenium is a powerful and effective immunomodulator that can stimulate humoral immunity and cellular immune system. The enhancement of immune system function is beneficial to improving various symptoms of patients with liver disease. For example, selenium supplementation for patients with hepatitis A and B can greatly improve symptoms such as lack of appetite, weakness, and dull complexion in a relatively short period of time. Liver-nourishing tablets, which are made from selenium malt powder and Schisandra chinensis as the main ingredients, can regulate immunity and have a good effect on nourishing and protecting the liver and increasing the appetite of patients with liver disease.

4. Protein can repair the liver

“High-protein, low-calorie” foods such as eggs, tofu, milk, fish, chicken, sesame seeds, pine nuts, etc. are the liver’s favorite. Function of protein: The rich protein in these foods is like a "repairman" for the liver, which can repair liver cells and promote liver cell regeneration.

A normal person should consume more than 90 grams of high-quality protein every day. For people with damaged or weakened liver function, eating more high-protein foods will help the liver recover and prevent further damage. People with acute hepatitis should consume at least 80 grams of protein per day; patients with cirrhosis should consume at least 100 grams of protein per day.

Women can protect their livers by following the methods introduced above. Because women have special physiological characteristics, they should protect their livers effectively and in a timely manner. If some symptoms of liver disease appear, effective treatment and control should be carried out in time to ensure the health of the body.
