Fatty liver disease alert! Essential liver protection for office workers

Office workers who work overtime, often eat out and lack exercise are prone to overwork and obesity. Health experts point out that overwork and obesity can easily lead to liver failure. The survey found that 40% of office workers in the country have excessive body fat rates, especially overtime work, which is positively correlated with excessive body fat rates. Half of office workers who work more than 12 hours a day have excessive body fat rates, and have the so-called "overwork obesity" problem, which not only affects liver health but is more likely to cause fatty liver, which should not be underestimated.

Professor Wang Jinkun, president of the International Society of Health and Nutrition and former president of Sun Yat-sen University of Medical Sciences, pointed out that Taiwanese workers work overtime, with an average working time of more than 43 hours per week, ranking third in the world. Coupled with high stress in life, greasy diet, and lack of exercise, their metabolism is reduced, fat is accumulated in the body for a long time, and body fat is generally above the standard.

Fatty liver, the invisible killer of the liver, affects both men and women regardless of their weight

Especially for those under 30 years old, up to 50% of the body fat rate exceeds the standard, and there is a hidden danger of being obese at a young age. What is more noteworthy is that some female office workers eat less but not necessarily eat right. They have wrong eating habits and a preference for high-calorie foods such as sweets. Although they are thin, their body fat percentage is very high, which is the so-called invisible fat, and they are also prone to fatty liver.

In fact, fatty liver is an invisible killer of the liver. In addition to obesity, excessive drinking and poor eating habits can lead to abnormal liver metabolism. If neglected and delayed for a long time, it can easily develop into fatty liver, hepatitis, and cirrhosis, thereby increasing the risk of liver cancer.

Liver health care allows the liver to repair itself

Professor Wang Jinkun emphasized that in order to prevent the occurrence of fatty liver problems and reduce the risk of liver cancer, it is recommended that office workers pay attention to the amount of fat intake in their diet and develop good exercise and sleep habits to reduce liver damage.

In fact, if you know how to follow the correct path of health care, strengthen the liver's constitution, and improve the antioxidant capacity to resist free radicals, it will not only help reduce GOT/GPT problems, but also provide strong health support to the liver at the fatty liver stage in advance, and prevent the risk of hepatitis, cirrhosis and liver cancer at an early stage.

Human experiment: Schisandra chinensis + Sesamin can protect the liver

In view of this, in 2013, the Chung Shan Medical University published a research report on a human clinical trial in the internationally renowned American Journal of Phytotherapy Research. Studies have found that the phytonutrient Schisandra extract combined with sesamin can protect liver health. The 30 kinds of wood polyphenols contained in Schisandra chinensis extract can provide the nutrients needed for human liver metabolism, thereby promoting metabolism, protection and repair. Sesamin is a high-quality antioxidant that helps activate liver health.

【Health experts emphasize】:

Human trials using two major phytonutrients, Schisandra chinensis and Sesamin, have provided evidence that they can protect the liver, which is great news for office workers suffering from fatty liver disease.
