Introduction: The liver is a solid organ located in the abdominal cavity. It is also the largest digestive gland in the human body. The liver has many important functions in the human body.

For the function of secreting bile, the cells of the liver secrete about 600-800ml of bile every day, which is discharged into the gallbladder for concentration. After eating, it is emptied into the intestine to participate in the digestion of fat and other important substances. Also plays an important role in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.

Of course, the liver also has a metabolic function. Nutrients, fats, amino acids and sugars digested and absorbed from the intestines are returned to the liver through the portal vein for metabolism and transformation.

Liver cells are also involved in coagulation function. Important vitamins and coagulation factors are synthesized and stored in the liver.

In recent years, due to improper eating habits and bad work and rest habits, the incidence of liver disease has increased significantly. Doctors often say that the stomach is a trumpet and the liver is a mute.

The liver is a dumb organ and is the most easily overlooked because it is located in the upper abdominal cavity of the human body, hidden under the right diaphragm and deep in the ribs. Its left outer lobe crosses the midline of the abdomen and reaches the upper left belly.

It is not like the symptoms of abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms when there is a problem with the digestive tract; it is not like coughing and other symptoms when there is a problem with the lungs; it is not like the thyroid gland, where you can see a swollen neck when you look in the mirror; Like breasts, you can feel abnormalities during self-examination...

If these phenomena appear in your body, it means you should nourish your liver

First: People with poor liver are prone to irritability Angry, difficult to calm down, prone to insomnia and dreaminess, and easy to wake up from light sleep.

The reason is that liver cells are damaged, which may lead to an increase in serum aminotransferase and a decrease in alkaline phosphatase, which may manifest as fatigue, lethargy, and easy fatigue.

Second: Due to the dysfunction of the liver in hormone metabolism, men may have telangiectasia, red nose, increased acne, yellow or black face, and red palms.

When there is a problem with the liver, special pathological changes will appear on the palms, which are called liver palms. It is common to see red spots on the thenar areas of the thumb and little finger in the liver palm, which can be clinically inferred to have chronic liver disease.

Third: When hepatitis attacks, there will also be low-grade fever, swelling and pain in the liver area, and yellowing of the skin, eyes or urine.

Wu Mengchao, the "Father of Liver Disease", summarizes 60 years of experience in liver protection: Doing three things well may be good for the liver

In the 1950s, liver surgery was regarded as " The success rate is very low, and the research on the prevention and treatment of liver cancer in my country is completely blank.

Under the guidance of his mentor Qiu Fazu, Wu Mengchao, who was already a surgeon at the time, chose to study hepatobiliary surgery.

A Japanese medical delegation once visited China. One of the professors said arrogantly, "It will take at least twenty or thirty years for China's liver surgery to catch up with our level."

< p> His judgment greatly stimulated Wu Mengchao, and his strong sense of mission made the young Wu Mengchao set his ambitions and march more firmly into the field of liver surgery.

Academician Wu Mengchao: Summarizing 60 years of experience in liver care, three things have been widely circulated.

First: Nutritious diet

As the largest detoxification organ in the body, the liver’s daily tasks are very important. Therefore, the relationship between the liver and diet in life is also very close.

Incorrect diet may bring sub-health to the body. Of course, the liver is no exception. If you want to protect the liver, you must treat your eating habits correctly and supplement a variety of nutrients to keep the liver normal. Run!

Like some green foods in life, vitamin E and B vitamins are nutrients needed by the liver!

Second: Keep exercising

Consistent exercise can relieve worries, depression, and common liver-fire. It can also be achieved through exercise. purpose.

Academician Wu Mengchao once said: When doing exercise, do not blindly follow the trend or follow others. You should choose exercises that suit you and increase the amount of exercise according to your physical fitness and condition.

Third: Get the hepatitis vaccine

In order to protect the health of the liver, we must not only control diet, exercise and medication, but also protect the liver from viruses. There are many types of hepatitis viruses , the most common one is hepatitis A and hepatitis B viruses.

Therefore, to protect the health of the liver, we should pay attention to reducing the risk of infection with hepatitis B virus as much as possible. Injecting hepatitis B vaccine is an effective preventive measure.

Conclusion:

Wu Mengchao likes this famous saying of the medical guru Qiu Fazu: Those who are not as virtuous as Buddha cannot be doctors.

In another interview, the old man wrote this line without thinking, holding a pen with deformed fingers: "Be a good doctor and serve the people wholeheartedly.

"The unity of knowledge and action, Wu Mengchao practiced this throughout his life!
