What medicine should I take if my liver metabolism is not good?

The liver is certainly very important to our body, because in life the liver can help our body detoxify, whether it is toxins from the surrounding environment or diet, the liver can play a role. However, some friends may suffer from liver diseases due to liver damage, which causes the liver's metabolic function to become very disordered. So, what medicine should I take if my liver metabolism is not good?

First, people with poor liver function should not take supplements or liver-protecting drugs indiscriminately.

Some people say that if you have a bad liver, you can take some supplements or liver-protecting drugs to protect your liver. But in fact, eating too much of these things will increase the burden on the liver and is not conducive to recovery. Therefore, people with bad livers must take supplements and liver-protecting drugs under the guidance of a liver disease doctor and cannot take them on their own.

Second, people with poor liver function should pay more attention to their diet and avoid eating spicy, irritating, fried or greasy foods.

People with poor liver function should not eat spicy foods such as leek, mutton, chicken, star anise, cloves, pepper, etc. These foods can promote dampness and heat, aggravate the dampness and heat in the liver, and thus aggravate the clinical symptoms; people with poor liver function should not eat greasy fried foods for a long time, as this will lead to a sharp weight gain and obesity, and they often have symptoms of qi deficiency and stagnation. In addition, the broken fat chains caused by frying can produce carcinogenic chemicals, leading to cirrhosis and even the transition to cancer. Therefore, for the sake of your health, people with poor liver health should eat less spicy, irritating, fried and greasy foods.

Third, people with poor liver function should quit drinking.

Long-term drinking by people with poor liver function can lead to severe liver damage and alcoholic cirrhosis. Because the intermediate metabolites of alcohol have relatively clear hepatotoxicity, the alcohol is quickly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract after drinking, and more than 90% of the alcohol component (ethanol) is metabolized in the liver. Ethanol has a toxic effect of directly stimulating and damaging liver cells, causing degeneration and necrosis of liver cells. The liver is in a damaged state for a long time, eventually leading to cirrhosis, liver cancer, and then death. Therefore, people with poor liver function must quit drinking.
