Often, I hear people around me say, "Come on, you are what you eat. If your liver isn't well, you should eat more liver." Is that really true? Of course not! The idea that eating animal organs can nourish human organs is not only unreliable but can also make a disease worse.
Eating more liver can加重 the burden on the liver
Once pig liver enters the stomach, it is digested and broken down, then absorbed by the intestines. Therefore, the pig liver you eat does not directly act on the liver in the human body, so the idea of "nourishing the liver" is baseless.
For friends who often have discomfort in the liver area or suffer from liver disease, trying to achieve a therapeutic effect by eating animal organs is not only unreliable but will加重 the burden on the liver, making the condition more serious. For example, if you have fatty liver, instead of hoping to eat liver to nourish the liver, it's better to choose a diet rich in high-quality protein and low in fat, and try to stay away from animal fats.
People with kidney insufficiency should eat less kidneys
The same logic applies: eating animal kidneys does not nourish the kidneys.
Especially for people with kidney insufficiency (such as those with uremia), who already have symptoms of reduced urine output, the amount of nutrients absorbed each day needs to be controlled within a certain range. Animal kidneys are high in cholesterol and protein. Eating too much can lead to the accumulation of harmful substances in the body. Since the detoxification ability of the kidneys with insufficiency is already weak, this will overwhelm them.
