Think popping liver meds can cancel out late-night snacks or skipped workouts? 🍔❌ Think again! Dr. Mao Yilei, a top liver surgeon from the Chinese Society of Liver Surgeons, sat down with CGTN to drop truth bombs about protecting your body’s detox powerhouse. Spoiler: Your daily habits matter way more than you think.
❓ Can Pills Fix a Bad Lifestyle?
Dr. Mao’s verdict: "No magic pill replaces healthy living." While medications help manage conditions, they’re sidekicks—not heroes—if you’re still glued to screens 24/7 or bingeing fried food. 🕹️🍟
🚨 Are You at Risk for Fatty Liver?
Surprise—it’s not just heavy drinkers! Desk jobs, sugary drinks, and even too much fruit (yep, really!) can stealthily harm your liver. Early-stage fatty liver often has no symptoms, making annual check-ups crucial. 🩺✨
💡 Lifestyle Upgrades That Work
- Swap midnight snacks with herbal tea or watermelon chunks.
- Walk 8,000+ steps daily—no gym membership needed! 👟
- Limit alcohol: "Weekend warriors" aren’t immune to damage.
Dr. Mao’s final tip? "Love your liver like it’s your favorite app—update its care regularly." 📱💚
