4 daily habits that quietly destroy the liver

The liver is one of the least noticed yet vital organs in the human body. Behind seemingly harmless daily habits lie factors that can gradually damage it and even lead to cancer. According to a warning from Vietnamese oncologist Luu Thao Ngoc, there are 4 main nutritional mistakes that slowly harm the liver, reports vnexpress.net.

According to the doctor, the first thing to pay serious attention to is moldy food. In particular, nuts, rice, corn, and grains may contain aflatoxin — a toxin that doesn’t disappear even after boiling. It directly affects liver cells and increases the risk of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.

The second dangerous habit is drinking alcohol, especially a glass of wine in the evening. People often think of it as a helpful or relaxing routine. However, ethanol breaks down into acetaldehyde in the body, which damages DNA structures. The more often a person drinks, the higher the risk of complex changes in the liver.

The third factor is the love for fried food. Oils that have been heavily and repeatedly heated release carcinogens: acrolein, PAHs, and various aldehydes. These substances overload the liver and trigger mutations in its cells.

The fourth and very common problem is the regular use of painkillers, antibiotics, and “natural” supplements without a doctor’s supervision. Luu Thao Ngoc calls this one of the biggest dangers. Especially risky are unproven remedies with no scientific validation.

In short, the liver suffers not only from external damage but also from daily careless habits. If a person avoids these listed mistakes, liver health can be preserved for many years. And good health starts with simple and small steps. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
