The liver is characterized by controlling catharsis, liking articles and being depressed. Only when the liver is free, can the body reach a state of relaxation, just like a tree with branches and leaves stretching. As long as people get angry, the liver will be blocked, and in severe cases, they will be "angry with pain in the liver area", that is, the ribs on both sides swell and the blocked thyroid gland on both sides will also be affected, resulting in lumps in these two parts.
Female friends can cause irregular menstruation and sleep disorders. Therefore, it is most important to nourish the liver, be happy, comfortable and not blocked.
Suggestion: Friends who often have pain in the liver area and double ribs, or have breast and thyroid diseases, should take part in more recreational activities; Go to a place with good natural scenery to relax; Talk to friends more and relieve their troubles.
The second trick to nourish the liver-stay away from alcohol and tobacco
Smoking can affect the lipid metabolism of the liver. A survey shows that the mortality rate of smokers is 1.6 ~ 1.7 times that of non-smokers. It can be seen that smoking, like other cancers, has some bad effects on the occurrence of liver cancer.
As we all know, drinking alcohol can damage the liver. At present, there is no medicine or food to prevent alcohol from damaging the liver, especially when drinking on an empty stomach, alcohol is quickly absorbed into the blood, which will not only damage the liver, but also have adverse effects on the whole body. Especially for patients with chronic liver disease, drinking alcohol is tantamount to drinking poison. After drinking, about 90% ~ 95% is metabolized in the liver. No matter how fast or slow, a large amount or a small amount of alcohol intake will increase the oxygen consumption capacity of the liver, leading to hypoxia and necrosis.
Suggestion: Therefore, the best choice for patients with liver disease is not to smoke or drink.
The third measure of nourishing the liver-going to bed early
Nowadays, nightlife is becoming more and more abundant, especially in big cities. At one or two in the morning, all kinds of entertainment places are still very lively. Even if they don't go out to play, many people will surf the Internet, play cards and play mobile phones at home until they forget their bedtime. Lack of sleep has become a "murderer" that seriously endangers human health.
Many people know that every midnight (23:00~ 1:00) is the period of self-repair of the liver and gallbladder. It is very nourishing to go into deep sleep at this time. Once you don't sleep at this time, the liver will gradually lose its motivation and the detoxification function will plummet. If all kinds of toxins are not discharged cleanly, they will directly react to the face, and acne and spots will follow one after another, especially the temples and cheeks. This is the "one acre and three points" of the liver meridian and its partner gallbladder meridian. Once the liver is not detoxified properly, its backyard will catch fire first.
Suggestion: Eat early for dinner, exercise properly for a while after dinner, soak your feet for a while, and try to sleep before 10 every day, 10. Form this good habit!
The fourth trick of nourishing the liver-stay away from greasy midnight snack
Proper intake of fatty foods can provide us with energy and maintain normal physiological functions of the human body. However, eating too much fat will overload the liver and gallbladder. Over time, fat will accumulate in liver cells and cannot be metabolized, leading to fatty liver. Never underestimate fatty liver. Once fatty liver is formed, the function of the liver will plummet, and then various diseases of the gallbladder and systemic metabolic disorders will be derived, which is really the beginning of all diseases.
Besides eating too greasy, the habit of eating midnight snack is also very common in cities. From relatively healthy soup to completely unhealthy barbecue hot pot, it seems to have become a major feature of modern life. Many young people and even middle-aged people enjoy it. In fact, eating midnight snack is a typical refreshing but harmful behavior. A midnight snack may take a week of healthy work and rest to adjust, which is not worth the candle.
Suggestion: Of the three meals a day, dinner is the least important, so both Taoism and Buddhism advocate not eating after noon, and eating less at night can make the five internal organs, especially the liver, get a good rest and ensure stable sleep, which is really a good recipe for nourishing the liver.
The fifth measure to nourish the liver-close your eyes more.
Excessive use of eyes is another major reason for the weakness of liver qi in modern people. The liver is rich in blood and its main function is to keep the eyes bright. Watching TV, computer, mobile phone and playing games for a long time is easy to overdo, leading to liver blood deficiency. The most convenient way to nourish the liver is actually to close your eyes, keep your eyes shining, and be self-sufficient in liver qi.
Suggestion: Close your eyes often is a good way to nourish your liver, especially before going to bed at night. Try to close your eyes even if you can't sleep. When you are busy at work, you must also take time to look at the green plants in the distance. Green light waves do the least harm to the eyes. Look at the flowers, trees, eyes and liver.
The seventh trick to nourish the liver-exercise every day
A study published in the Journal of Hepatology in 2009 pointed out that 10 minutes of exercise every day can ensure that the liver works at its best. Of course, exercise benefits all organs of the whole body, not only the liver, but also the heart, lungs, digestive system and urinary system.
