Killers of liver cancer in life

1. Excessive smoking

The nicotine contained in cigarettes and ethanol, a metabolite of alcohol, are extremely harmful to the liver and are one of the main risk factors for causing disease and inducing cancer.

2. Consuming processed foods

These "foods" are usually high in calories, lacking in nutrients, high in starch and fat, and full of chemicals, which are harmful to the human liver and have no benefits.

3. Eat a midnight snack

Any food eaten after 8:00 p.m. is called a midnight snack. Eating a midnight snack will make you tired and unable to get out of bed the next day, and your liver will be damaged because when you sleep, the organs of the human body are less active and in a resting state, so the food left in the intestines will become sour and ferment, producing toxins that harm the body.

4. Stay up late

If you don't sleep after 1:00 p.m., the body's metabolism will be replaced by endocrine combustion, which will produce a lot of toxins and make the body acidic. People who stay up late are usually more likely to get chronic diseases than those who smoke or drink. So try to go to bed before 12:00 every day and don't stay up late often! Don't eat meat when you stay up late, try to eat carbohydrates, so that you won't be very tired the next day and minimize the damage.

5. Being sedentary

Joints, tendons, and ligaments belong to the liver system, and are the structural basis and important channels for the liver to regulate qi and blood. Sitting for a long time makes many people's joints, tendons, and ligaments stiff, losing flexibility, and making the channels in the liver's regulating qi and blood system blocked. Therefore, we often feel that the more we sit and the less we exercise, the more depressed or irritable we will be, which is more likely to cause liver cancer.

6. Not enough exercise

Exercising more and sweating more in the sun can help the body excrete excess acidic substances. However, due to the ever-increasing pace of modern life and the continuous updating of transportation, office workers who sit in the office all day have greatly reduced their exercise, which causes acidic toxins to remain in the body for a long time, leading to acidification of the body.

How should you pay attention to your diet in the late stage of liver cancer?

1. Pay attention to energy supplement: Liver cancer patients consume a lot of energy, so they must ensure adequate nutrition. The simplest way to measure the nutritional status of patients is whether they can maintain their weight. To maintain a normal weight, the best way is to maintain a balanced diet, requiring patients to eat more fresh vegetables, and half of them should be green leafy vegetables.

2. Fat intake: A high-fat diet will affect and aggravate the condition, while a low-fat diet can alleviate symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distension in liver cancer patients.

3. Liver cancer patients should supplement more vitamins: Vitamin A, C, E, K, etc. have certain auxiliary anti-tumor effects.

4. Diet after bleeding in the late stage of liver cancer: After the bleeding stops, you can generally choose a diet prepared with sweetened milk, eggs, lotus root powder, vegetable juice, soy milk, etc., and add some staple foods containing salt.
