Be alert to the three major causes of liver cancer and maintain three good habits to prevent liver cancer

Many people think that protecting the liver means taking liver-protecting drugs or other health-care drugs, but in fact, protecting the liver also requires adjusting bad habits in life, because many bad habits can easily lead to abnormal liver function and eventually develop into liver cancer. Only by correctly understanding the pathogenesis of liver cancer can we effectively avoid the occurrence of liver cancer.

So what are the causes of liver cancer?

1. Viral infection

Liver cancer caused by viral infection is generally more common, and the disease induced by liver infection is hepatitis. The hepatitis that can cause liver cancer are hepatitis B and hepatitis C. At present, most liver cancers are transformed from hepatitis B. Hepatitis B is highly contagious and can be transmitted through sexual behavior and blood. If you have hepatitis B, you need to actively take antiviral treatment, and regular check-ups can control the disease early and prevent the occurrence of liver cancer. Although the harm of hepatitis C is not as serious as hepatitis B, there is currently no effective vaccine, and only preventive measures can be taken in life. Usually hepatitis C can be cured, but many people will ignore the treatment of hepatitis C because the symptoms are not obvious, and eventually it will develop into liver cancer.

2. Aflatoxin

Aflatoxin is a common fungal toxin in our daily life, but in fact, this toxin is one of the main causes of cancer. Relevant studies have shown that aflatoxin can induce liver cancer and is related to the contamination of some foods in daily life. Therefore, in life, we must pay attention to whether the food is fresh and healthy. Moldy food contains aflatoxin, which will harm the human body after consumption.

3. Disordered internal environment

The internal environment of the human body is usually disturbed by the lack or excess of certain trace elements. When the body's metabolic process is abnormal, it may cause liver cancer. Among liver cancer patients, many are caused by abnormal trace elements or metabolic disorders.

How should we prevent the occurrence of liver cancer in our daily life?

1. Pay attention to your daily diet

Although there is no direct relationship between food digestion and nutrient absorption and the liver, we should not slack off in terms of diet. We should maintain a diversified diet to provide the body with adequate nutrition and try to eat less spicy food, because the liver is involved in metabolic functions, and spicy food can easily increase the burden on the liver.

2. Exercise

If you want to prevent liver cancer, exercise is a good way. Exercise can help the body speed up metabolism, thereby reducing the burden on the liver. For people who are not suitable for strenuous exercise, it is more appropriate to choose mild aerobic exercise.

3. Don’t stay up late

Staying up late is one of the main factors that induce liver cancer. Due to long-term abnormal melatonin secretion, the liver cannot get a good rest, and the incidence of liver cancer will continue to increase. Therefore, everyone needs to maintain good living habits, rest on time, avoid staying up late, and ensure their sleep quality.

In fact, in addition to infection factors, most liver diseases are caused by long-term "endurance", because too much work and study make people always in a very tired state, coupled with long-term lack of sleep, over time, liver disease will occur, and finally lead to the appearance of liver cancer. Therefore, whether it is an ordinary person or a patient with liver disease, you should ensure that your body has enough rest time and avoid contact with toxic and harmful substances in life to reduce the incidence of liver cancer.
