Taking illegal medicine
Many people take medicine on their own to treat mild diseases. In fact, many drugs can only treat symptoms but cannot restore health. In addition, drug metabolism is closely related to the liver. The use of drugs haphazardly or blindly will directly damage the liver and impair liver function.
Smoking and drinking alcohol
Although these habits do not directly affect people, they will harm the body over time. Habits closely related to liver damage include smoking and drinking alcohol.
When you smoke, the toxic substances in cigarette smoke will enter the human body through the lungs, the liver's metabolism of these substances can be harmful to the liver itself. Drinking too much alcohol increases the burden on the liver.
Eat foods that are moldy and damaged
Foods containing many toxic substances such as mold foods, foods with high nitrate content, ... and foods too nutritious such as foods high in sugar, high in fat... all cause great metabolic pressure and damage the liver.
Some foods that are moldy and damaged such as rice, peanuts, corn, dried fruits, cakes... contain aflatoxin. If used regularly, it will damage the liver and cause liver failure.
Late sleep for a long time
Late sleep causes the liver to not get enough rest, leading to premature aging and liver damage. The liver self-repair and adjust at night when we sleep (about 11pm to 2am).
Frequent sleepwalking will affect the liver's recovery and regulation process. If the liver is not restored and adjusted for a long time, the liver will weaken, and the ability to work is reduced.
