What organs are on the left side of the body

The human body is mainly divided into two sides, and most of the organs on the left and right sides are different. Therefore, it is very necessary for a person to clearly understand the distribution of his organs on the left and right sides. Because once you experience pain on the left or right side, you can promptly find out which organ has the disease. So what organs are located on the left side of the human body?

1. What organs are on the left side of the body?

The organs on the left side of the human body from top to bottom include the thyroid gland in the neck, the heart and lungs in the chest cavity, the spleen and pancreas in the abdominal cavity, and a small part of the liver, large intestine, small intestine, rectum, and kidneys. Women also have fallopian tubes, ovaries, bladder, and uterus.

2. What are the heart and lungs afraid of?

1. Heart: Afraid of salt

Excessive salt intake can lead to an increased incidence of high blood pressure and heart disease. In addition to table salt, MSG and soy sauce also contain salt. Excessive use will lead to excessive salt intake. People consume about 10 grams of salt per day, which is almost double the amount recommended by WHO from all sources, including processed foods, ready meals and foods prepared at home (less than 5 grams or less than one tablespoon per day).

Recommendation: Consume no more than 6g of salt a day, which is equivalent to the amount of 1 beer bottle cap. Adding sugar when cooking will mask the saltiness, so you cannot judge whether there is too much salt based on taste alone. If the food is too salty, don't forget to drink more boiled water.

2. Lungs: Afraid of smoke

People who smoke for a long time, are in a secondhand smoke environment for a long time, or are exposed to smoke and dust for a long time at work are at high risk of lung cancer. In medicine, the smoking index is used to express the relationship between cumulative smoking and lung cancer. Smoking index = number of cigarettes smoked per day × number of years of smoking. If a smoker smokes a pack of 20 cigarettes a day for 20 years (a year is 365 days), that is 7,300 packs, then his smoking index is 20×20=400. People with a "smoking index" > 400 should be included in the risk group for lung cancer.
