Drinking water makes you fat, but you have problems with your liver and liver

The ins and outs of fat in the human body-the liver is the metabolic center

The liver is the place where the body metabolizes fat. Fat in food is broken down in the small intestine and absorbed in the form of glycerol and fatty acids. After entering the human body, triglycerides, or fat, must be synthesized again in liver cells, and then transported in the form of lipoprotein. Out of the liver and transported to the subcutaneous storage. When the fat produced by the body is within a reasonable range, the fat will be transported to reasonable places, such as the breast, buttocks, inner thighs, etc. However, if there is too much fat, it can only be placed randomly. The space under the skin of the abdomen is the most extensive. Of course, it is an ideal place for fat accumulation. In fact, fat is the form of energy storage in the body. When the body needs fat to supply energy, the fat under the skin will be mobilized. It passes through lipoproteins under the skin, and then is transported to the liver, where it is burned in the liver to provide energy.

Abnormal lipid metabolism in the liver is the main culprit of obesity

There is no doubt that "eating more and moving less" can easily lead to obesity, but why are many people who don't eat much and move a lot also fat? It is very likely that there is a liver problem. When the liver is damaged, such as drinking, smoking, staying up late and other lifestyles and certain nutrients are deficient, fat metabolism will be disrupted, and a large amount of fat will accumulate in the body. At the same time, the body's utilization of fat will also cause obstacles, obesity and high blood lipids will occur. Moreover, abnormal lipid metabolism is often accompanied by disorders in sugar and protein metabolism. Because both are soluble in water, they are just not as easily detected by B-ultrasound as fatty liver.

So, how to protect the liver and nourish the liver

Liver loves sugar

Most people don't know that sugar is an important substance to protect the liver. Each gram of glucose can provide about 70% of the energy needed by the human body. If a person is in a state of lack of energy for a long time, it will affect liver function. Sugar can also synthesize a substance called liver glycogen, which is stored in the liver, preventing damage to liver cells caused by toxins ingested into the body. Except for diabetics, ordinary people can calculate how much sugar they should eat every day based on their weight. Every kilogram of body weight consumes 1 gram of sugar, and an adult weighing 60 kilograms should not consume more than 60 grams of sugar per day. According to such standards, not only will it not reduce life, but it will also be beneficial to health. Generally speaking, the main sources of sugar are rice, pasta, sugar, honey, juice, fruits, etc. A large spoonful of jam contains about 15 grams of sugar, a can of cola contains about 37 grams of sugar, 3 small pieces of chocolate contain about 9 grams of sugar, and an ice cream cone contains about 10 grams of sugar.

Protein repairs the liver

Eggs, tofu, milk, fish, chicken, sesame seeds, pine nuts and other "high-protein, low-calorie" foods are the liver's favorites. The rich protein in these foods is like the "repairman" of the liver, which can repair liver cells and promote liver cell regeneration. Normal people should consume more than 90 grams of high-quality protein every day. For people whose liver function is damaged or weakened, eating more high-protein foods appropriately is more conducive to the liver's recovery and prevention of further damage. People with acute hepatitis should consume no less than 80 grams of protein per day; patients with liver cirrhosis should consume no less than 100 grams.

Vitamin A can fight liver cancer

The liver is the body's "warehouse" for storing vitamins. When the liver is damaged, the ability of the "warehouse" to store vitamins also decreases. Studies have shown that vitamin A can protect the liver and prevent and inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells in the liver. It restores normal tissue to function and helps patients with chemotherapy reduce the recurrence rate of cancer. Wang Xingguo said that the daily intake of vitamin A by the human body is: 800 micrograms for men and 750 micrograms for women. Never exceed 3000 micrograms to avoid damaging the liver. You can satisfy yourself by eating a carrot, 65 grams of chicken liver, 200 grams of canned tuna or a glass of milk every day. Tomatoes, carrots, spinach, animal liver, cod liver oil and dairy products also contain large amounts of vitamin A.
