Whether you have a history of liver disease or have never had any problems with your liver, if you are always good at drinking and never afraid of the stage but find that your alcohol tolerance has decreased significantly, or if you are energetic after playing mahjong all night but your physical strength is not as good as before overnight, you must not take it lightly, because this may be a serious warning signal from your liver. The liver is responsible for detoxification of the human body Why does one's alcohol tolerance suddenly drop, or one suddenly faints when using the brain frequently? ... "Because the liver, this 'chemical factory', will only 'professionally' perform the above duties when it functions normally." Chen Tao said that as the largest digestive gland in the digestive system, the liver is an important metabolic organ in the human body, and it works like a tense and orderly comprehensive chemical factory. Every day, the food people eat undergoes important chemical changes in the liver, which is also the place where substances such as protein and cholesterol are synthesized. "The liver is like the fuel supply system of a car. If there is a problem with the fuel supply of the car, the engine will naturally not start; similarly, if there is a problem with the liver, the human body will be listless and have no strength." The liver not only converts food into energy, but also serves as the body's detoxification organ, capable of dissolving bacteria, alcohol and other toxins. For example, some intestinal parasites release toxic ammonia when they decompose, but the liver converts the ammonia into urea and excretes it out of the body. The metabolism of alcohol in the body also mainly takes place in the liver. After drinking, a small amount of alcohol will be excreted from the body through breathing and sweating, and most of the remaining alcohol will be converted into acetaldehyde in the liver. The symptoms of drunkenness are caused by acetaldehyde; however, if the liver functions normally, acetaldehyde will be further converted into acetic acid. This is the process of alcohol detoxification in the liver. |
