Excessive liver fire can lead to fatigue, headache, irritability, loss of appetite, insomnia and dreaminess, which has a great influence on our daily life. Therefore, in summer, nourishing and protecting the liver has become a very important work.
How to raise the liver in summer is the most reasonable? Here, I recommend some delicious and easy-to-cook foods, which are good for the liver.
First of all, mushrooms
Eating more mushrooms can nourish and protect the liver. This is not only because mushrooms contain a variety of amino acids that are beneficial to the human body, but most importantly, mushrooms contain a trace element called selenium, which has many benefits to the liver.
But the human body can't store selenium well, so we can often eat foods containing selenium to get enough selenium.
Eating mushrooms regularly can also help coordinate the body's absorption and transportation of other foods, increase the nutritional efficiency of food, and have many benefits.
Recommended recipe: mushroom and egg soup
1. We took out two mushrooms, cleaned them, removed their roots, and then smashed them for later use.
Slice the tender tofu and put it in a basin for later use. The secret of removing the beany smell is simple. Put a spoonful of salt in the tofu, then pour in the water.
Then we beat two eggs for later use.
2. Pour the mushrooms into the basin, add a spoonful of salt and appropriate amount of water, and wash them for later use.
Prepare about one or two pieces of shredded chicken, add 1g salt and appropriate amount of cooking wine to remove fishy smell, then add appropriate amount of corn starch and shredded chicken and mix well. Cut chopped green onion and coriander according to your own taste.

Second, tomatoes
Tomatoes are rich in vitamins and cellulose and have high nutritional value. People with poor liver often eat some tomatoes, which is beneficial to the recovery of liver function.
However, it must be noted that if tomatoes are not ripe, they must be eaten carefully. Because there will be a lot of solanine in uncooked tomatoes, which is not good for the liver.
