The weight of liver is 1.5 to 2 percent of human body weight. The liver can change itself from small to big. This is called regeneration power. For this, it is necessary for at least 25 percent of the actual liver to be present in the body. It usually takes only two to three weeks for it to return to its original form. Kidneys or lungs do not have the capacity for regeneration.

Big expert in liver health Dr. Sarin Told that liver also stores vitamins. A, D, E, K are fat soluble and digestible vitamins. It is also important to have less than 5 percent fat in the liver so that the body can absorb these vitamins properly. Liver helps in making bile juice. Its function is to digest fat. Stored in the gall bladder.

When the baby is in the womb, blood is produced by the liver itself. Later this work is done by the bone marrow. Vitamin D plays an important role in making it usable in the body. Due to deficiency of Vitamin D, calcium is not absorbed. But do you know that making a mistake can damage the liver.

1. Not exercising

Exercise is important to give rest to the liver. Exercise is important to reduce pressure on the liver. This is necessary to strengthen the muscles. Strong muscles continue to burn calories even when we are resting. This does not increase weight. Actually, whatever we eat is used in the form of glucose in two places in the body – in large muscles and in the liver.

Only strong muscles will be able to save the liver

Muscles are able to make full use of glucose only when they are strong. If the muscles remain weak then they also send their share of glucose to the liver. Because of this, in addition to using its own share of glucose, the liver also has to consume the glucose sent by the muscles. When it cannot consume them, it starts storing them as fat. This is where the condition of fatty liver starts developing.

Even after this, when we do not exercise and do not control our diet, the liver releases fat into the blood. Due to this the cholesterol in the body keeps increasing. When this fat starts accumulating in our blood vessels, the problem of high BP arises. Due to all these, the pressure on the pancreas (an organ present in the body. Insulin is produced in its beta cells) also increases.

Pancreas also has limits

The pancreas has to produce large amounts of insulin to maintain normal glucose levels. But it also has a limit. After this condition persists for about 10 years, the pancreas is unable to produce insulin according to the high amount of glucose (sugar). Eventually the glucose level in the blood starts increasing. That person gets type-2 diabetes.

due to diabetes

Type-2 diabetes occurs due to our lifestyle, eating habits etc. Nowadays this has started happening only after the age of 25-30 years. Its risk is higher due to the genes inherited from parents or grandparents, it happens quickly only if a person does not pay attention to his health and diet. Whereas type-1 diabetes often occurs in childhood.

Benefits of exercise

By continuing to exercise, the muscles do not become weak even after 50 years. In fact, every year after 50, 1 percent of muscle mass decreases. If we strengthen our muscles beforehand, the rate of muscle deterioration slows down.

Exercising also releases positive hormones like endorphin, serotonin, dopamine in the body. These are helpful in removing stress and depression. These keep the mood right.

Liver healthy with these exercises

One should exercise for about 60 minutes 5 days a week. If the body sweats due to exercise, then only it should be considered that we have exercised enough to keep the body healthy.

Aerobics: 30 minute
This includes running, brisk walk, cycling etc.

Strength Training: 30 minute
This includes lifting weights, doing pushups, climbing stairs, squats, dumbbells etc. This is also called weight training exercise.
With its help, muscle capacity increases. They are strong. To avoid fatty liver, one must do it 5 days a week (150 minutes).

2. Peg on peg

Be it wine, beer or any other intoxicating substance, they cause harm to the body, especially the liver and kidneys. Since initially the symptoms of this damage are not visible externally, no injuries or external wounds are found, hence people do not accept alcohol as a villain. Look for excuses to drink alcohol. When we continuously consume alcohol, it is also digested by the liver.

The liver also stores fat produced from alcohol. This is bad fat or we can say it is poison. This causes swelling in the liver. Besides this, the problem of fatty liver also increases a lot. Therefore even 1 peg of alcohol is dangerous. It is also true that once the drinking phase starts, the matter does not stop till 1 peg.

3. Cradle the belly

This issue is talked about, but often people do not take it seriously. Many people do not accept or avoid the fact that obesity can cause serious problems. The reality is that sexual ability can also be affected due to obesity. It may take more time for a teenager to develop beard, moustache, sex organs.

If someone is overweight or obese, there is a 60 to 70 percent chance that he may have fatty liver.

At the same time, 20 percent of thin people are also victims of fatty liver.

Stop the fat accumulated on the belly before making it a permanent home, otherwise things will keep getting worse.

Parents of such children should be especially alert

Children whose parents or grandparents have suffered from lifestyle diseases like diabetes, BP, gall bladder stones, obesity, liver, heart, kidney or cancer etc. Or someone may have died untimely due to illness, someone may have had a bad drug addiction. In such a situation, there is a lot of fear that their next or even the next generation may face one or more of these problems.

Therefore, it is very important to take care of such children, provide them with proper eating habits and lifestyle, encourage them to do exercise etc., and keep them away from alcohol and cigarettes. If a child has excess fat (visceral fat) on his stomach then it is more dangerous, no matter what age he is. If the child is overweight then bringing him to normal or even underweight to some extent will suffice, otherwise it is possible that he may face lifestyle diseases at an early age.

There are different types of people

No illness in self, parents or grandparents: These are in the green zone. They just have to keep in mind that they do not come from green zone to red zone i.e. keep their lifestyle right. Maintain a healthy diet, keep exercising and stay away from drugs.

Whose parents are well, but themselves sick: They may be in the red zone to some extent, but if they improve themselves then the danger to the next generation will be reduced considerably.

Illness in parents, grandparents and myself too, but thinking positive: These are also in the red zone. Efforts can also be made to bring them from Red Zone to Green Zone, if the thinking is positive. Have a desire to change yourself. In such a situation, there will be some danger to the next generation, but by keeping their health healthy, they can come into the green zone.

Inherited disease and negative thinking: They want to stay in the red zone only. Bringing them to the green zone is a big challenge. If this thinking continues then it will become more difficult for the future generations.

For marriage, match gene horoscope, not horoscope.

If you are planning a marriage and your partner has any lifestyle disease or his/her parents have had such problems, then efforts should be made to ensure that the other partner or his/her parents and parents’ parents do not face such problems. Simply put, look at the conditions of the genes (the factors through which children inherit the characteristics of their parents and grandparents) in both families.

Even if the marriage takes place, it is important that both the couples overcome their illnesses before having a child. Also, be completely alert while raising the child. Keep your child’s health on priority even before his career so that his future is bright.

4. Eating wrong and untimely

Eat only our traditional food. There is no need to experiment too much. One should not lie down immediately after eating because this causes the food to go back into the food pipe (towards the throat). It also contains acid content. This causes acid reflux (burning sensation, belching, gas, cough etc.). Indigestion may also occur.

Actually, the job of acid is to break down the food and kill the bacteria in the stomach. Nature has created the stomach to handle acid. This specialty is not present in the food pipe. Therefore eat less food. Eat about one-fourth less than what you normally eat.

When, what and how much to eat?

It is not a good idea to eat every once in a while, unless a doctor has told you to do so.

Keep a fixed time for eating. Eat food only between sunrise and sunset. Don’t eat late at night. It is advisable to eat only 2 to 3 times in total. Many people eat only one heavy meal a day.

The more we stretch our stomach, it expands accordingly. The less you spread, the less it will spread. The habit of eating less is developed in 10 to 15 days.

There is a sentience center in the brain which is a part of the hypothalamus. This tells us whether the stomach is full or not. Therefore, while eating, the focus should be on food and not on mobile or TV. In such a situation, the message of filling the stomach will reach the brain at the right time and we will stop filling the stomach unnecessarily.

Initially fill your stomach with salad, sprouts or 1 to 2 fruits. Only after this eat roti or rice.

Try eating millets in roti. Ragi, jowar and bajra, all are good.

Take water half an hour before and 1 hour after eating.

If we drink orange juice or squeeze half a lemon in a glass of water or squeeze half a lemon in vegetables, then the body is able to absorb 30 percent more iron present in the food. By not doing this, only 10 percent is able to be absorbed.

If you feel like eating something sweet at night, you can eat some seasonal fruit.

5. Taking painkillers on your own

Many people consider themselves, the internet or the chemist as a doctor. Headache, body ache, body ache along with fever, in such a situation one chooses the medicine himself and takes it. Paracetamol, Crocin etc. are also such medicines. We take this medicine without consulting the doctor. Whether there is fever or not, we take this medicine even if we have body ache.

The same is done with other medicines also. Doing this becomes harmful for the liver. It also has to filter out the harmful substances present due to the salt which the body did not need at all. There is pressure on the liver.

6. Not getting hepatitis vaccine

Sometimes it also plays a significant role in increasing liver problems. There are 5 strains of hepatitis virus: A, B, C, D and E. Due to these, there is swelling and infection in the liver. Many times, liver fibrosis occurs due to hepatitis. Liver fibrosis test is done only to detect this problem. In such a situation, it is beneficial to get hepatitis vaccine to avoid it. This protects against hepatitis to a great extent.

liver tests

If there is a problem of sugar, BP etc. in someone’s family, then he should definitely get tested once in every 6 months. Actually, there are many types of tests to see whether the liver is functioning properly or not. Some important tests are:
