Pork liver is a blood-enriching food, rich in protein, glycogen, heparin, vitamins, etc. It can regulate and improve the physiological function of the hematopoietic system in anemic patients, preventing iron-deficiency anemia and rickets. However, there are several "don'ts" for consuming pork liver: First, don't eat too much at once
We know that pork liver is high in cholesterol. If consumed in excess, the intake of cholesterol increases, which can lead to atherosclerosis and worsen cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, patients with hypertension and coronary heart disease should eat less pork liver. Second, don't take it with Vitamin C
Vitamin C is easily oxidized and destroyed, especially when it encounters certain trace elements, the oxidation is more rapid. The copper content in pork liver is relatively high. It can combine with Vitamin C, causing Vitamin C to lose its original function. Therefore, pork liver should not be consumed while taking Vitamin C.

Pork liver is the largest detoxification organ in the pig. Various toxic metabolic products and certain toxic substances in feed are retained in the pork liver. After detoxification by the liver, they enter the kidneys and are then excreted through urine. The blood containing toxins in the pork liver is dispersed in tens of thousands of liver sinusoids. Therefore, the pork liver bought back should be washed with tap water for 10 minutes, then soaked in water for 30 minutes before it can be eaten.

Common enzyme preparations include pepsin, pancreatin, amylase, polyenzyme tablets, etc. The copper in pork liver can form precipitates with the acidic groups of enzyme proteins and amino acid molecules, affecting the drug's efficacy. Therefore, enzyme preparations should not be taken when eating pork liver. Fifth, don't cook it too tender
If pork liver is heated for too short a time, it cannot kill certain bacteria and parasite eggs in the pork liver. Therefore, pork liver should not be stir-fried until it is too tender.
