The liver is known as the "chemical factory" of the body because of up to 1500 biochemical reactions related to this internal organs.The liver constantly produces hormones and other compounds for the body.
Once liver damage will greatly affect other internal organs.The cause of liver damage is largely due to daily life habits, especially eating habits.Even the wrong use of spices in meals can be more harmful to the liver than alcohol.
3 types of spices using too much will harm the liver
1. Soy sauce (soy sauce)
Soy sauce is a type of sauce as well as spices in popular cooking with Vietnamese people because of its delicious taste.However, if used too much will have a certain effect on health, especially the liver.Because soy sauce is derived from the fermentation process of soy.In this process, there will be ammonium nitrite - a substance that can cause cancer.
The liver is the main detoxification part of the body, so that, although knowing that ammonium nitrite is toxic, the body still transports to the liver to eliminate.If you use too much soy sauce, it means increasing contact between the liver and ammonium nitrite will cause the process of dividing the liver cells to be interrupted and inhibited.For a long time, the liver will gradually be damaged or even fibrous, seriously affecting the liver function.
2. Broken cooking oil, fried oil again many times
Many people think that cooking oil no matter how long they are degenerated.However, if left for a long time and not properly preserved, cooking oil will also be reduced in quality to create pungent smell.
When you smell the strange smell in cooking oil, it is best not to continue using.Because when corrupt cooking oil will produce Aflatoxin, this toxin can cause liver cancer with a content of less than 1mg, which is very harmful to the liver.At the same time, the cooking oils will gradually decompose and produce Some oxides, free radicals and other substances can cause liver cell damage and cause liver diseases.
At the same time, the use of fried oil repeatedly can be more economical in living, but it also causes significant harm to the liver.This type of oil when used continuously can release many toxic chemicals such as acryin, acrylamide, tetrahydropyran ... causing damage to liver cells.
3. Use many passionate spices, salt
Although the spice is necessary for the cooking process to increase the flavor, but if used too much will cause some liver damage.This is mainly related to a spice in Safrole.
Safrole is listed in the list of carcinogens.If using only a small amount will not affect the body, however, for a long time, with the accumulation of Safrole in the liver will easily lead to damage, even liver cancer.
At the same time, it is also necessary to be careful when eating salt because if the amount of sodium absorbs too much will increase the pressure, harm the liver and lead to different liver diseases.According to the World Health Organization (WHO) warns, each person should only eat 5 grams of salt every day to ensure health.
The first poisonous things
In addition to using too many spices, the following also accidentally poisoned the liver
1. Food for overnight
Food after leaving overnight will increase nitrite content, thereby producing nitrosamine after eating.This is a very strong carcinogen, which can lead to many different types of cancer such as liver cancer, throat cancer, stomach cancer ... However, the doctor also indicates no need to worry too muchBecause eating food overnight only causes cancer when using large amounts of food in continuous time.
However, the use of overnight food can cause food poisoning if not processed properly.There are many cases of food poisoning because eating food overnight in the refrigerator but when heated again is not long enough to destroy all bacteria.This leads to the toxin of some bacteria that are not destroyed by heat and lead to poisoning.
Therefore, to protect health, it should be noted when removed from the refrigerator, need to heat it at least 5 minutes before use.At the same time, do not use cooked dishes for more than 2 days.In particular, with dishes such as green vegetables, seafood, soy food, mannequin, salad ... should not be left overnight.
2. Chopsticks and pots for long -term use
The surface of the chopsticks may contain pathogenic bacteria.If using chopsticks for a long time can facilitate these bacteria to multiply, thereby increasing the risk of infections.
In addition, if in a moisture or improperly preserved environment, wooden chopsticks will be prone to mold, discolor, moldy and even sour taste, causing disease -causing bacteria to increase, causing increasing, causingHarm for health.
Along with that, the pots and pans have non -stick layers, after a long time of use, the non -stick layers of peeling, the silver area inside is gradually visible, it is best to replace the pot.Because food when stir -fried at high temperatures with poor quality tools can accidentally cause food to contaminate metal impurities, residues from non -stick layer peeling ... if used for a long timewill be harmful to health.
Not only that, many families have the habit of liking to store plastic bottles to drink to store foods, dry seeds, spices in the kitchen because of its convenience.However, if under these plastic bottles, the "PET" symbol should be noted.
PET plastic bottles have good heat resistance under normal conditions without deformation or release harmful substances.However, if high temperatures such as placed next to the kitchen for a long time, it can still be affected by the temperature.PET resin can make chemical changes, release harmful substances that can cause cancer like Dehp, not good for consumers' health.
3. Use cheap, poor quality plastic bowls
Most safe plastic items are made of melamine plastic synthesized from melamine and formaldehyde.Although these two substances are poisonous, but when synthesized into melamine plastic, it becomes harmless to health.
Harmful human health are low quality plastic items present on the market.
Many manufacturers are unconscious, because to save costs, they often use urea with relatively low price instead of melamine plastic to form urea formaldehyde plastic.Cover top is a layer of white powder Melamine Mould Compound.
When there is high temperature, these low -quality plastic eating tools will release formaldehyde harmful to human health.If used for a long time can cause gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases, severe cases can lead to blood diseases (leukocytes) and cancer.
Many related experiments have been conducted to check the quality of plastic items.The results showed that the plastic items using low quality materials when encountering hot water and hot oil will release the formaldehyde content of 0.16mg/m³ and 0.61mg, far beyond safety standardsis 0.10 mg/m³.
In addition, plastic items often have many colorful colors and eye -catching patterns because the manufacturer has added many additives in the process of making the product.For example, adding metal substances such as lead makes the color clearer, adding plastics such as metamamide and phthalate to improve durability.
These additives are easy to decompose at high temperatures.Long -term use will be harmful to user health.Therefore, the use of plastic items can lead to health problems, even poisoning.Especially when exposed at high temperatures such as using a bowl of spoon to eat hot rice soup ...
