The liver is an important organ for metabolism, and it also undertakes functions such as detoxification, synthesis, and bile secretion. Although the liver has a strong compensatory ability, it can’t stand people’s toss. Long-term staying up late, excessive smoking and drinking, drug abuse, bad mood and viral infection will damage the liver, and even cause fatty liver, liver cirrhosis or liver cancer. Although liver pain does not appear in the early stage of liver disease, it can be manifested from the mouth. If the mouth has the following three symptoms, it is necessary to go to the hospital for liver-related examinations as soon as possible.

What are the symptoms on the mouth of people with poor liver?

1. Black lips

Because the liver’s ability to metabolize and detoxify is reduced, it is impossible to excrete metabolic wastes from the body in time and toxins, which allow these substances to build up in the body, resulting in poor blood flow, darkening or tingling of the lips due to lack of oxygen in the blood in the mouth.

2. Bleeding gums

This happens because most blood clots Factors are synthesized in the liver, and the synthesis of coagulation factors is impaired after liver damage, which can easily cause persistent gum bleeding and nosebleeds.

3, bad breath

After liver disease, it is bound to affect liver function, so that too many toxins and metabolic wastes accumulate in the body, which is easy to cause stubborn bad breath.

What things hurt the liver?

1. Obesity

The cause of obesity is too much fat in the body, which accumulates in the liver The surrounding cells make liver cells unable to obtain the required nutrients from the blood, resulting in ischemic and hypoxic necrosis of liver cells, and finally induces fatty liver. Fatty liver has been left unchecked can develop into steatohepatitis, and even into cirrhosis or liver cancer. Therefore, obese people should actively control their weight, eat a balanced diet, have more than 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise every week, and control their BMI between 18.5 and 23.9.

2. Alcoholism

Alcohol is a recognized carcinogen. Long-term alcohol abuse will increase the burden on the liver and damage liver cells. Most alcohol is metabolized in the liver. Uncontrolled drinking can induce alcoholic liver, and even induce liver cirrhosis or liver cancer. Therefore, one should avoid drinking alcohol.

3. Unsanitary diet

Aflatoxins are recognized as a class of carcinogens , ingesting a little bit every day may induce liver cancer. For example, moldy and spoiled edible oil, nuts and grains contain a lot of aflatoxins, so if you smell the edible oil, you should throw it away immediately; if you accidentally eat bitter nuts, you should spit it out and rinse your mouth as soon as possible.

4. Medication at will

Most drugs are metabolized and detoxified in the liver, and some drugs themselves and drug metabolites can directly poison the liver, thereby causing drug-induced liver injury. Therefore, you should take reasonable doses of drugs under the guidance of doctors, and you should not combine drugs by yourself, and you should not try ancestral secrets and home remedies at will.

5. Always sulking

Studies show that people who suffocate frequently suffer from The risk of liver disease is high, so you should adjust your emotions, cultivate a broad mind, and not be preoccupied with trivial matters. Use the outdoors, travel, and talk to others to express your emotions rationally.

6, stay up late

After 23:00, the various organs in the body begin to enter a state of self-repair. If you stay up late, it will inevitably increase the burden on the liver and reduce the immunity. Therefore, you should adjust your work and rest, no matter how busy you are, you must fall asleep before 23:00, and ensure that you get enough sleep for 7 hours every night.
