Carbohydrates, carbohydrates, are the most important energy-supplying substances in the body and are mainly absorbed in the form of glucose. Glucose is rapidly oxidized to supply energy. Sugar is also an important raw material for the body and participates in various activities of cells. For example, sugars and protein-synthesized glycoproteins are components of antibodies, enzymes, and hormones. Sugars and lipids synthesize glycolipids. It is the raw material for cell membranes and nerve tissue. Carbohydrates have a special effect on maintaining function. Sugar has a detoxifying effect. When the liver glycogen reserve is sufficient, it can enhance the resistance, and the food supplies a sufficient amount of sugar, which can reduce the consumption of protein as a power supply.
The liver is an important organ that regulates blood glucose concentration. The liver's original glycogen accounts for about 5 to 6% of the liver's weight, and the average adult has about 100 grams of glycogen. When a large amount of carbohydrate food is consumed for a long time, the liver glycogen can reach about 150 grams, and the healthy fat can even reach 150 to 200 grams. When the hunger is more than 10 hours, most of the liver glycogen is consumed.
When blood sugar is too low or the appetite disappears, glucose can be administered orally or intravenously. After oral administration, glucose is directly absorbed into the liver after portal vein absorption, which is more favorable than intravenous input. If patients with liver disease have reduced glucose tolerance and elevated blood glucose and have hepatic diabetes, it is not advisable to intravenous glucose or oral glucose.
Patients with liver disease should supply sufficient amounts of sugar to ensure protein and calorie needs to promote hepatocyte repair and regeneration. There is enough glycogen stored in the liver to enhance the liver's resistance to infection and toxins, protect the liver from further damage, and promote the recovery of liver function. However, there is a certain limit to the storage of glycogen in the liver. Excessive supply of glucose can not be synthesized. Therefore, it is important to limit the excess of calories and lead to obesity, which is of vital importance to liver disease.
Emphasis is placed on the significance of diet therapy. It selects supplementary foods for its own diseases and nutritional conditions, and improves the functions of various organs of the human body. Various foods will play a certain role in certain organs of the human body. If the diet is right, the physiological balance can be maintained. It is generally believed that rice, noodles, meat and eggs are mostly acidic foods, vegetables and fruits are mostly alkaline, and proper conditioning is beneficial to the acid-base balance of human metabolism.
People with liver disease or those with hypertension, arteriosclerosis, and obesity should eat less animal fat. When eating meat, fish, shrimp, and lean meat should be used. People who have both spleen and stomach weakness can eat white lentils and soy products because of this type. The food area has spleen and stomach, dehumidification and heat, and is rich in protein, which can regulate and enhance the function of the digestive system. Understand the basic nutrients and taste of each food, and realize the true meaning of self-healing.
