Alcohol
Regular alcohol consumption can be harmful to the heart, blood vessels and especially the liver, and even increase the risk of liver cancer. The liver is an important detoxifying organ of the body, responsible for breaking down and metabolizing about 90% of alcohol intake. When drinking too much alcohol for a long time, the liver has to work continuously, easily leading to diseases such as alcohol-induced fatty liver or cirrhosis.
Ice, too cold drinks
Drinking ice water or drinks that are too cold can affect the digestive system, especially the stomach - a body that is quite sensitive to low temperatures. This is even more likely to happen when the weather is hot or immediately after eating hot food. The habit of using a lot of cold food can make the stomach uncomfortable, reducing the ability to digest and absorb nutrients.
If a regular diet includes many spicy, cold and low-nutrient foods, the body will absorb less vitamins, minerals and protein, thereby negatively affecting liver health.
High-sugar drinks
In hot weather, many people often choose carbonated soft drinks, shaved ice, or sugary drinks because they are easier to drink than filtered water. However, consuming too much sugar not only increases the risk of diabetes, but also adds burden to the liver.
When the amount of sugar consumed is too high, the metabolism in the body may be disrupted, causing the liver's detoxification function to decline and increasing the risk of liver diseases.
