肝的保護很多時候都在已經出現問題才會注意到，
屆時就必須過淡色彩的生活了。
正巧看到這篇新聞分享一下，
另外陸續看到一些奶薊草(Mariendistel)的一些文章跟大家也分享一下。
雖然 BMI 落在正常範圍內，
但一想到日常的飲食來源（飲食精緻化，動物脂肪來源多，生猛海鮮...）還有生活形態（熬夜、飲酒..），
有時候還是會忍不住捏把冷汗想再多運動一些，多吃些粗纖維，有益身體的東西啊～～

別把自己的肝 當鵝肝養

法國三大珍饈的「鵝肝」，其實說明白了就是典型的「脂肪肝」。養鵝人家大量強迫餵食，造成鵝的脂肪肝比一般的鵝大三、四倍，因營養過剩脂肪堆聚，烹調後口感滑腴細膩，而成為高貴稀少的代名詞。
鵝肝是人類是為了滿足口腹之欲的不自然養殖產物，人類脂肪肝卻也是自己造成的。
脂肪肝，俗稱「肝包油」，是指肝內的脂肪含量（主要是指三酸甘油脂的含量）超過肝臟總重量的5％以上，一般是藉由超音波、電腦斷層、核磁共振等儀器檢查得知。
形成原因最常見是肥胖，尤其現代人吃得好、精緻且活動量變少，造成肥胖問題嚴重。以西方國家來看，脂肪肝的盛行率約為20至40%、台灣約為11.5至41%，遠高於大家熟知的B型肝炎（早期約20％）、C型肝炎（2至-4％）。
除了肥胖，血脂肪過高、糖尿病、酗酒、代謝失調症候群、藥物、全腸道營養、病毒性肝炎、先天性代謝疾病，都可能.....

Function; Reasons For Use
http://www.diagnose-me.com/treat/T13224.html
Milk Thistle Extract is many times more potent in antioxidant activity than vitamin E.
The plant contains B-sistosterol and is the main ingredient in Take Control and Benecol. It thus lowers cholesterol. It has been shown in studies to be effective in treating arteriosclerosis.
Silymarin is considered a liver protectant, a choleretic (moving bile), and a liver-specific antioxidant. It is also known to be protective of the liver by increasing its ability to detoxify numerous toxic substances, including pesticides and heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, etc.). In numerous clinical studies, silymarin has been shown to have positive effects in treating virtually every type of liver disease including cirrhosis, hepatitis, jaundice, and chemical- or alcohol-induced fatty liver. Milk thistle facilitates liver cell regeneration and can protect the liver from toxic damage.
Many people take milk thistle regularly to protect their livers from the effects of alcohol, heavy metals and drugs, and as needed after exposure to solvents, pesticides, bacteria from food poisoning or other toxins. Studies since the 1930s, conducted mainly in Germany, researched that the silymarin found in the herb works to stabilize liver cell membranes and act as an antioxidant to protect liver cells from free radical damage. It also helps regenerate healthy liver cells and boost the organ's ability to filter toxins from the blood.
Most recently researchers found that the antioxidant activity of a milk thistle seed extract reduced the liver damage typically seen in patients who take prescription anti-psychotic drugs for extended periods and particularly in death cap mushroom poisoning. Silymarin has been shown to prevent and even reverse the toxic affect of mushroom (Amanita phalloides) poisoning, which can cause death within 24 hours. It is able to do this by specifically blocking the receptor for these toxins. |
