Not only food, but also eating and daily activities directly affect the liver's metabolic activity, so scientific habits will help reduce pressure on this organ.
According to Assoc. Prof. Dr. BS Bui Thi Nhung - Vice President of the Vietnam Nutrition and Diet Association, Head of the Nutrition Department of Sun Hospital, in addition to a reasonable diet, people also need to build a regular lifestyle to help the liver function more effectively.
1. Eat three meals a day
Adults should maintain three main meals a day and should not skip meals. Regular eating helps the body be provided with stable energy, while supporting normal metabolism. This is also a way to help reduce pressure on the liver in daily activities.
2. Do not eat too late and limit eating late.
Experts recommend completing dinner early and limiting eating late at night.
The habit of eating late makes excess energy difficult to burn, increasing the risk of fat accumulation in the liver and visceral fat. Maintaining a reasonable eating time will be beneficial for metabolic health.
3. Eat on time, don't overeat
Each meal should be taken on time and in moderation. Eating too full in one meal can increase the burden on the digestive system and the liver's metabolism.
People should maintain a suitable diet, avoiding the body falling into a state of being too hungry and eating too much.
4. Combine exercise to maintain a reasonable weight
In addition to diet, experts recommend that people maintain regular exercise to control weight.
When weight is maintained at a reasonable level, the risk of fat accumulation in the liver is also reduced. Combining a balanced diet with an active lifestyle is a solution to help protect the liver and long-term health.
