According to the 110-year statistics of the cause of death by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, chronic liver disease and liver cirrhosis are the tenth leading cause of death in my country, while liver cancer ranks second among the main causes of cancer death in my country. The causes of liver cancer are complex. Hepatitis B, hepatitis C, fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, aflatoxin, etc. may all cause liver cancer. And in daily life, many diets we eat can easily cause liver burden, but “you know, how many kinds are there?” Dr. Huang Xuan specially shared 6 kinds of “liver-damaging diet” with you, let’s understand together.
What are the six liver-damaging diets?Doctor: Arbitrary supplementation of vitamin A causes liver burden
1. Sweets
Too much sugar is not only bad for your teeth, it can also damage your liver. Too much refined sugar and high-fructose foods will cause fat to easily accumulate in liver cells, which may also lead to liver disease.
In addition, some studies have found that even if you are not overweight, sugar is as harmful to the liver as alcohol, which is whywe would advise against eating foods with added sugar too often.
2. Carbonated drinks
Researchers have found that people who drink a lot of carbonated beverages are more likely to develop non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in Taiwan is about 15%-45%, and severe cases will eventually lead to liver cirrhosis. Drinking less carbonated drinks can be regarded as a “liver protection behavior”.

3. Eat too much oil
Eat too many fatty foods, and fat can build up in your liver cells and lead to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This is commonly known as “liver oil,” and your liver may swell. And over time, fat buildup can harden and scar the liver tissue. If you are overweight/obese, middle-aged, or have diabetes, there is a good chance that you already have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
If you want to reverse the situation, you must avoid eating too much high-fat diet and get more exercise. These can all prevent the occurrence of liver disease, and pay special attention to “trans fats”, that is, artificial fats in packaged foods and baked goods , a diet rich in trans fats is more likely to make you gain weight, which is also bad for your liver.

4. Vitamin A
everyone’s bodyVitamin A is needed, and we can generally get enough vitamin A from plants such as red, orange, and yellow fresh fruits and vegetables to meet our body’s needs. However, if you deliberately take nutritional supplements that contain high doses of vitamin A, this can be a problem for the liver. It is advisable to consult your physician before taking any extra vitamin A as there is a good chance you will not need it.
5. Herbs
IfWesterners like to supplement vitamins, while Easterners prefer to eat herbs! Just a reminder that any herbal remedy, even if it says “natural” on the label, most likely won’t work for you. For example, some people take a deadly pepper, an herb called kava kava (abundant in the Western Pacific), to treat menopausal symptoms or to help them relax. But studies have found that the peppery herb can prevent the liver from functioning properly, which can lead to hepatitis and liver failure. So before taking any vaunted herbal remedies, you should always consult a professional doctor to be safe.
6. Painkillers
many people appearback pain, headache, cold, etc.,AllI will take painkillers by myself, but if you accidentally take too many painkillers containing “acetaminophen”, it will damage the liver. It is recommended that you discuss it with your doctor before taking painkillers.andAccording to the current physical condition,learnHow many doses can be taken in a day.

- Take proper rest and avoid overwork
- avoid staying up late
- avoid alcohol
- avoid obesity

- regular health check
- Those with related liver diseases should actively cooperate with treatment
