1. Lack of sleep
▲Recommendation: The recommended sleep time is 7-9 hours
According to a research report published by Stanford University in April 2018, the sleeping habits of 17,245 Americans were analyzed and divided into five groups according to sleep time, namely sleep time: less than or equal to 5 hours a day (15.9%); 6 hours (23.8%) ); 7 hours (27.1%); 8 hours (26.3%); and greater than or equal to 9 hours (7%).

The results found that compared with people who slept 9 hours a day, those who slept less than 5 hours had a 35% increased chance of abnormal liver function and a 45% increased chance of fatty liver; those who slept 6 hours, 24% There is a 33% chance of abnormal liver function and a 33% chance of having fatty liver; 7 and 8 hours of exposure do not increase the risk of abnormal liver function and fatty liver. In addition, studies have shown that sleeping less than 5 hours may also lead to obesity and diabetes.
2. Obese and immobile daily life
▲Suggestion: At least get up and walk around frequently and don’t stand still. It’s best to do some exercise.
In non-alcoholic liver disease (NAFLD), body mass index (BMI), insulin resistance (HOMA) and triglycerides, poor adherence to the Mediterranean diet, sedentary habits, lack of sun exposure and a Western-style diet all contribute to fat loss Liver is more serious.
3. Rarely bask in the sun
▲Recommendation: Get plenty of sun exposure, at least half an hour to one hour a day, and it is most effective to get sunshine at noon.
Studies have found that low serum vitamin D concentration is related to fatty liver degeneration, necrosis, and inflammatory damage.
4. Smoking
▲Suggestion: Of course, you should quit smoking for yourself, your family, and the furniture at home (third-hand smoke); especially if your liver has been damaged, you should quit smoking.
The harm caused by smoking is systemic. It not only directly affects the health of the respiratory tract, but also many digestive system diseases have been proven to be related to smoking, including liver cancer, gastric ulcer, pancreatic cancer and inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn’s disease.
Cigarettes will affect the oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells, and will also greatly interfere with the body’s metabolism and the transportation of oxygen and iron ions in the blood, thus affecting liver health. At the same time, the human body has many different immune responses. Smoke can cause changes in cytokines in immune cells, further causing damage to the liver, and is also related to the canceration process of liver cells.
Many epidemiological data at home and abroad show that smoking may be related to the occurrence of liver cancer, and the correlation is stronger for patients with chronic liver diseases such as hepatitis B and hepatitis C; that is to say, hepatitis B, hepatitis C For patients with chronic liver diseases such as hepatitis who have smoking habits, the chance of developing liver cancer in the future is 1.2 to 2 times higher than that of patients who do not smoke. Therefore, patients with chronic liver disease are best not to smoke.
5. Eating random things and herbal remedies from unknown sources
▲Recommendation: Do not take supplements or eat indiscriminately, and pay attention to the dosage.
If you want to protect your liver, don’t hurt it, don’t take supplements and eat them randomly! The vast majority of drugs, whether they are Chinese medicine, Western medicine, herbal medicine, tonics, folk remedies or health foods, must be metabolized by the liver after being taken. If the drug is hepatotoxic or is taken in too much, it will damage the liver.
