Healthcare Day 5

Today, Zhang Jian talked about Liver.

Liver is on the right side of our waist. It is the largest internal organ in our body and weighs between 1.4 - 1.6kg. It has a wide range of functions, including detoxification. The liver is necessary for survival; there is currently no way to compensate for the absence of liver function.

Alcohol is bad for liver. Do not drink alcohol just before sleep time as the liver would have to work to detoxify the toxic in the alcohol. Liver rests between 11pm to 2am. Hence, it is best to have complete rest during this time for the liver to recuperate after a day's of hard work.

High cholestrol is one of the symptoms of poor liver. When the liver hardens, there is no cure for it. The only precaution is to prevent the liver from hardening further. When it gets serious, the blood has nowhere to go, the person would splurt blood. The blood of the patient is contaminated. One can die if in contact with the blood of the patient if the person's liver is not strong enough to purge the contamination out.
