How to maintain the liver? Symptoms of a bad liver?
There are several health care methods for the liver. 1. Health care for the liver in daily life: The main physiological function of the liver is to control qi movement, including the functions of regulating qi and emotion, and the disorder of emotion will affect the normal physiological function of the liver. Therefore, it is most important for the health care of the liver to pay attention to regulating emotions and keeping comfortable in daily life. (1) Emotional health care: Chinese medicine believes that the liver is angry because of its will, so the anger in the seven emotions is most closely related to the liver. Abnormal liver drainage can lead to emotional disorders, resulting in impatience, irritability, upset insomnia or depression, depression and other symptoms; Anger hurts the liver, which can lead to abnormal liver drainage, irritability, redness and even vomiting blood and coma. Regulating emotions, resolving bad emotions in the heart, and maintaining a happy mood are conducive to the health care of the liver. (2) Timely health care: Chinese medicine believes that the liver belongs to wood, and it is happy and depressed, and the liver corresponds to spring. In other words, the liver corresponds to the natural spring growth, and it is very beneficial to the health care of the liver to maintain a soft and comfortable state, not to be too excited or depressed, and to keep the emotional world in a peaceful state. Spring is not only the best season for liver health care, but also the season with frequent liver diseases, so we should pay more attention to liver health care in spring. When spring comes, it is necessary to adapt to the changes of nature, fully relax, abandon all worries and distractions, and let yourself feel that nature is thriving, which has a good effect on nourishing and protecting the liver and preventing liver disease. (3) Environmental health care: A spacious and comfortable living and working environment is closely related to liver health care. Of course, living under the blue sky and white clouds, between green mountains and green waters, is the most ideal thing. However, most urban residents do not have such good conditions, and most of them live in densely populated, congested and heavily polluted places. Therefore, people who live in cities can go to parks near their places of residence for activities, where there are flowers, grass, water and trees, with broad vision, beautiful environment, fresh air and good health. Middle-aged and elderly people with convenient conditions can also travel to the suburbs with mountains, waters, lakes and forests. Walking, mountain climbing, swimming, fishing, picking and walking are all good exercises. Planting some beautiful ornamental plants indoors or on the balcony is also conducive to improving the environment, purifying the air and benefiting physical and mental health. Because green everywhere will bring people a comfortable and energetic good mood, which is very beneficial to the health care of the liver. Modern research shows that green can stabilize people's mood and regulate blood pressure to keep it normal. Therefore, it is a good thing to carry out a large-scale afforestation campaign to benefit the country and the people. 2. Exercise and fitness: (1) Exercise environment: Exercise to maintain the liver should choose a place with a wide field of vision, and slow and gentle exercise methods are more suitable, such as Tai Ji Chuan, Taiji sword and walking. (2) Liver-protecting exercises: ① Kneading Da Dun point: sitting barefoot cross-legged, pressing Da Dun point on right foot (outside the root of big toe) with left thumb, 65,438+05 times for left hand and 65,438+05 times for right hand; Then press the left foot Dadun point with your right hand, as before. ② Pressing Taichong point: sit cross-legged, press Taichong point (between the first and second phalanges of the dorsum of the foot) with your left thumb, press along the interosseous space and slide back and forth for 20 times, and then press Dadun point on your right foot with your left hand.

Rich nutrients are necessary to maintain the metabolic function of the liver and ensure the normal health of the liver. Foods rich in protein, such as eggs, lean meat, fish, bean products and milk, can not only keep the nutrients needed by the liver, but also reduce the damage of toxic substances to the liver, which is helpful for the regeneration and repair of liver cells. Sugar (also known as carbohydrates) contained in staple foods such as rice and flour can provide energy for the liver and ensure its normal metabolic function. Vitamins are essential substances for liver cells to maintain normal function, and fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins provide sufficient energy sources for the liver. Fat is also one of the energy sources of the liver, but too much fat is easy to deposit in the liver, forming fatty liver, destroying liver cells and damaging liver function. Therefore, foods containing more fat should be controlled. The dietary health care methods of liver can be divided into tonic method and clearing method. Tonifying method should be used for patients with liver deficiency and clearing method for patients with liver fire. I hope it will help you! )
