A healthy breakfast, a healthy liver

Liver cancer is a nightmare for many people, but few people know that maintaining a regular breakfast every day is a simple way to keep the liver healthy, support the elimination of toxins and reduce the risk of cancer. After a night of continuous activity, the liver needs energy to continue its function of filtering toxins, metabolizing nutrients and creating proteins to nourish the body.

• Why is cancer difficult to treat?
• Fatty liver - A silent disease that leads to cancer

Dr. Nguyen Thanh Nha, Deputy Head of the Oncology Department, Ca Mau General Hospital said: “Skipping breakfast means not providing timely energy for the liver to function, causing toxins to accumulate in the liver. In the long term, it can lead to hepatitis, fatty liver, and even cirrhosis, factors that increase the risk of liver cancer.”

Maintaining a regular breakfast helps keep the liver healthy, increases resistance and reduces the risk of liver cancer due to overload after a long night of activity.

The World Health Organization considers breakfast the most important meal of the day, providing essential nutrients after a long overnight fast. Skipping breakfast regularly not only causes fatigue, bitter taste, and reduced concentration, but also seriously affects the liver. When the liver lacks energy to recover after a long night of cleansing, the body is forced to mobilize glucose from reserves, overloading the liver and impairing its function. This metabolic disorder also causes blood sugar imbalance, increasing cravings for sweets and the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, etc., factors directly related to liver cancer.

To share with cancer patients in difficult circumstances, doctors from the Health Station in many communes and wards in Ca Mau regularly visit their homes to examine, encourage, and help patients feel secure during treatment.

Dr. Tran Van Tu, Deputy Head of the Department of Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases, Ca Mau Province Center for Disease Control, added: “Not having the habit of eating breakfast is not entirely the direct cause of liver cancer. However, it is one of the main factors contributing to the decline in liver function, increasing the risk of liver diseases and some other chronic diseases, including liver cancer.”

Therefore, a breakfast with all the necessary nutrients such as starch, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals... will help the liver to be much healthier. However, if conditions are better, consumers need to choose foods that are good for the liver, in which oats, whole grains, fresh fruits, yogurt, eggs... should be prioritized. At the same time, it is also necessary to avoid using fast food, processed foods sold on the roadside, snacks containing a lot of oil, sugar, salt and other saturated fats.

Obviously, maintaining a breakfast full of energy not only helps keep the liver healthy, contributing to the prevention of liver cancer, but it is also a solution to help the body become healthier.
