●Eating moldy food:

Food is left for a long time, and the toxins cannot be eliminated by heating back and forth. For example, aflatoxin begins to decompose when heated to a high temperature of 280°C. Generally, heating is not easy to destroy its structure. Aflatoxin is super carcinogenic and usually exists Long-term consumption of large amounts of food contaminated with aflatoxin, such as poorly preserved peanuts, grains, nuts or beans, greatly increases the risk of liver cancer.

Prebiotic dietary fiber is non-digestible carbohydrates, found in garlic, asparagus, leeks, chicory roots and onions, which can serve as food for good bacteria and help fight inflammation.

Ethanol and other volatile organic compounds produced in a dysregulated intestinal environment may also have toxic effects on the liver when intake is insufficient and bad bacteria increase microbial metabolism.

Overseas research targeted 140,000 middle-aged Korean men and women, and nearly 35% of them had fatty liver.

Studies have found that both sedentary and inactive are related to fatty liver.
