      Does eating liver nourish the liver?

      In fact, "eating liver to replenish liver" is not scientific. Experts remind patients with liver disease not to eat pig liver or other animal livers to replenish their liver.

      The liver is the largest detoxification organ in humans and animals. Most of the various toxins in the animal body must be processed, excreted and transformed by the liver. Most of the livers of animals bought back from the market contain various toxins. Patients with liver disease have difficulty decomposing these toxins in time due to impaired liver function, which will increase the burden on the liver and affect the recovery of liver disease. The liver is also an important immune organ and "chemical processing plant" that can produce a variety of hormones, antibodies, immune cells, etc. These substances are often harmful to foreign bodies, and patients with liver disease will undoubtedly be harmed after eating them.

      In addition, animal livers contain high amounts of copper. Patients with liver disease cannot coordinately regulate the balance of copper in their bodies due to low liver function. Excessive copper will accumulate in the liver and brain tissue, causing jaundice, anemia , liver cirrhosis (liver, ascites, and hepatic coma and other aggravating symptoms. Therefore, patients with liver disease cannot eat liver to replenish the liver, and it is better to eat less liver in their daily diet.
