No Liver Damage Can Be Prevented Only by Detox at Beginning of Year
Detox beginning of a tradition for fans of alcoholic beverages to get rid of toxins cause liver damage. But experts warn hepatology, detox is not very useful and sometimes even dangerous.
The British Liver Trust, a body of experts hepatology recently issued a warning related to alcohol detox tradition beginning of each year. This warning is based on the widespread tradition of detox is performed during the month of January.
Every early years, liquor fans in Britain do a ‘fast’ alcohol for a month. The hope is to give opportunity for the heart to rest, as well as remove toxins that are the remnants of alcohol metabolism.
In the body, alcohol is treated like drugs and toxins to be discarded when no longer used. Disposal process carried out by the liver, which is accompanied by the release of enzyme-specific enzymes to break down alcohol so easily removed from the body.
The production of enzymes that too much because of high levels of alcohol in the body can cause liver injury memngalami, sometimes even progress to hardening of the liver tissue. If the heart is hardened, then the function will decline.

Fruits and Vegetables Not Enough to Maintain Weight Loss
Being overweight is considered closely related to unhealthy diet and lack of intake of fruits and vegetables. But a study in Europe found that it was not enough, to be followed by quitting smoking.
The researchers found that nearly 374,000 adults in 10 European countries who were followed for five years and only eat fruits and vegetables are not likely to experience reduced weight gain.
Plant foods are full of nutrients that can help ward off chronic diseases like heart disease and some cancers. Several previous studies also showed that people who are overweight are asked to eat more fruits and vegetables can help reduce weight.
In a study published the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition recently, Anne-Claire Vergnaud of Imperial College London in England to collect dietary information and body weight were collected from adults aged 25-70 years. For more than five years, study participants experienced weight gain on average about 0.45 kg per year.
Among men, body weight generally decreases when asaupan fruit and vegetable growing. But that relationship disappeared when the researchers accounted for other factors such as caloric intake per day, exercise habits, and education level. Among women with overweight, respondents who claimed to eat vegetables alone tend to gain weight over the next five years.
“It seems that it happens because of weight loss programs encourage women to eat more vegetables. Many people who apply the well-known diet programs then saw his weight go up and down from time to time
But there is one group where a lot of eating fruits and vegetables associated with decreased body weight, that is, people who quit smoking during the study period. The reason why remains unclear. Researchers speculate that healthy eating habits can help prevent weight gain in smokers who are often overlooked when it was still active smoking.
