Recently, there has been a somewhat worrying illness of H7N9, causing many friends to pay more attention to the health of the respiratory tract, liver, and lungs. In fact, in spring, not only are they prone to some infectious diseases, but also their lungs need to be well maintained. So how do men maintain their liver health in spring? Let's take a look at the issues that need attention for liver protection in spring!
Prevention of liver disease in spring
With the advent of spring, bacteria and viruses are more active. In addition, during the Spring Festival, family and friends gather, drink and drink, and nourish large fish and meat. This can also increase the burden on the spleen, stomach, and liver, leading to recurrence of liver diseases.
Despite the increase in the types of viruses, and the increasing complexity of hepatitis A, B, C, and various types of hepatitis, chronic hepatitis B is the most common among liver diseases. Fatty liver disease, especially alcoholic fatty liver disease, is showing a significant growth trend.
For example, the high incidence of alcoholic fatty liver disease is mainly caused by alcohol consumption, with middle-aged men over the age of 40 becoming the "main force" of fatty liver disease, mostly due to continuous social interaction due to work, business, and other reasons, and excessive "alcohol consumption". Excessive drinking for a long period of time can hinder the decomposition and metabolism of fatty acids in the liver, causing fat deposition in the liver and causing fatty liver disease.
Three treasures for liver protection in spring:
Sleep: high-quality sleep can protect the liver
Staying up late for a day requires the liver to recover its normal function for a week. "When sleep quality is poor, especially when sleep disorders occur, the liver can also be affected, such as sleep apnea syndrome, which can cause liver damage.". Therefore, high-quality sleep is necessary for liver protection.
Generally speaking, after a day's hard work, from 11pm to 3am is the time for the liver to self-repair and metabolize. This time, it is necessary to ensure that the human body has entered sleep, so that the liver can fully rest and recover its vitality. During sleep, the burden on the liver is the lightest, and the human body is lying on its back. The liver can enjoy more nourishment from the blood, which flows through the liver the most, beneficial for liver repair.
