There is a saying in the Secret Book of Su Wen Ling Lan: "The liver is the official of the general, and the plan is also used." In other words, the liver is the general in the human body, and all the "military forces, food and grass" scheduling and "military" command and planning in the human body depend on the liver.
Ancient famous doctors believed that the liver is the source of life energy, and only by raising the liver can we live a healthy life.
1. Irritable. "Liver fire" is irritable, which can "burn" the liver by making the brain nervous, the liver angry, short of breath, chest tightness, rage and anger.
2. drink. Drinking is always inevitable, and drinking too much is harmful to your health. Alcohol is a deadly poison to the liver, which needs detoxification. Too much liver can't bear the burden, which leads to liver stasis and physical lesions.
3. Long-term vision. Su Wen has a cloud: "The liver begins to understand the eyes." Excessive consumption of more liver blood with eyes, if the consumption increases, the function of the liver will be damaged.
4. Over-compensation. Excessive tonic will increase toxins in the body, and the liver is an important detoxification organ. Increased workload will hurt the liver.
5. Stay up late. 165438+ 0 pm to 3 am is the time for liver detoxification. Not sleeping will consume too much liver qi and blood.
1, eating and living rules
Enjoy your breakfast. If you don't eat breakfast, you won't get enough nutrition, and you will consume protein and glycogen stored in the liver. Excessive consumption will affect the work of the liver. At the same time, skipping breakfast and eating more at noon also increases the liver load. The energy that cannot be metabolized is converted into fat and accumulated in the liver, and too much will form fatty liver.
The diet is light. Under the condition of ensuring protein, fat and vitamins, a reasonable diet in proportion will have a good repair effect on the damaged liver.
Blue food. Huangdi Neijing also said: "Oriental blue, into the liver." The east represents the initial plant growth of all things, and cyan is the color of vegetation. Usually eat more green fresh fruits and vegetables and see more green plants, which is helpful to nourish the liver.
Some researchers in the west found that after feeding mice fresh green vegetables or chlorophyll extracted directly from plants, the red blood cells in the blood of mice increased. Chlorophyll is equivalent to plant blood and beneficial to the liver. Fresh, natural and comfortable.
Tips: instant noodles, pickled food, high-sugar food, barbecue, mala Tang, preserved eggs, foie gras, etc. It is not advisable to eat more.
Smooth excretion. As the saying goes, "heavy shit is easy." Regular excretion reduces toxins and reduces the burden on the liver.
2. Soak your feet, nourish your liver and relieve fatigue
It's better to take tonic than to soak your feet in hot water. The liver meridian of Foot Jueyin originates from the foot, and soaking feet has obvious stimulating effect on the liver meridian. Soaking feet dilates blood vessels and accelerates blood circulation. There are many points of liver meridian from knee to sole. If you soak your feet and massage the liver reflex area, you can enhance your liver function. At the same time, the auricle of the palm also has a liver reflex zone, so soaking feet and kneading at the same time will play a role in conditioning the liver.
The best time to soak your feet is seven o'clock every night, and it is best to drink a cup of chrysanthemum and medlar water, which can increase the curative effect of clearing liver and nourishing liver.
3. Feel comfortable and have a healthy liver
The book "Caring for the Aged and Caring for the Family" says: "It is better to endure a hundred battles than to be silent."
Anger hurts the liver, blood rushes to the head, oxygen decreases, toxins increase, and the burden on the liver increases. Anger will secrete catecholamine, which will lead to an increase in blood sugar and toxins. There are more than 30 kinds of diseases caused by angry liver injury.
So be alert to anger in time and try to restrain yourself by leaving and holding spells.
First, don't compare with others, feel comfortable, blindly compare with others, be upset, depressed, sad and damage your liver. Compare cars, rooms and tickets. Let's compare who is healthier.
Second, don't be serious, the liver is not "wronged". It is good for people to have desires, but if they want too much, they will have troubles if they can't realize it. Trouble can suppress liver qi, liver qi is uncomfortable, qi and blood are blocked, and various diseases will occur. Be a man, relax your heart, and your heart will be wide and healthy.
No sulking, no liver pain. If losing your temper is a thunderstorm, sulking is a continuous rain. Qi stagnation inhibits the rise of liver qi, and qi stagnation causes disease. Women are sulking, liver qi stagnation turns into fire or breast pain, men are sulking, and essence and blood do not turn.
Fourth, I can't bear to cry to relieve hepatotoxicity. Lacrimal glands detoxify, and toxins can be excreted through tears. Not crying is equivalent to poisoning the liver, which is equivalent to stopping the toxins in the body and flowing all over the body along the blood.
The liver is full of joy Modern research has confirmed that when you are happy, the brain will produce a lot of endorphins, which will make people relaxed and happy, promote blood circulation and secrete healthy enzymes, hormones and neurotransmitters.
4. Close your eyes and rest to fight against aging.
The liver opens the eyes, and the "eyes" are the gods, which makes the whole body relax and let nature take its course, so that the meridians of the whole body dredge qi and blood smoothly.
Between work and study, gently close your eyes and rub your thumb outward at the inner corner of your eye for 24 times, or rub your fingers together with your hands and fingers gently outward for 24 times and then inward for 24 times. You can also choose to sit in a quiet place with your eyes closed and quickly "recharge" to get energy.
5. Exercise is the healthiest way to nourish the liver.
Walking and jogging are the most effective exercises for nourishing the liver. You can live 99 if you walk 100 steps after dinner. Stretch, swallow saliva, comb your hair and rub your ears. Although the action is very small, it has a good effect on nourishing the liver. Avoid staying up late to work overtime, smoking and drinking, and stress anxiety. Stretching in the sun and swallowing saliva in outdoor activities can protect and nourish the liver against aging.
6, acupoint massage to protect the liver small coup
Life is not smooth, sulking, depressed and yellow. Interplanetary acupoints are located on the instep, at the joint of the first toe and the second toe, and at the seam, they can be massaged in circles with the index finger and fingertip.
Liver fire is easy to get angry, so massage Taichong point quickly. If there is tenderness, there is something wrong with the liver. But numbness and stagnation of qi and blood also lead to no tenderness. Frequent painless massage can achieve the effect of health care for the liver.
Knead forward or supine, take a few deep breaths, expand your chest, then sit down, and press your thumb belly up to Taichong point along the gap between the big toe and the second toe. Push slowly, hold 1 min, then release the force, and repeat this for 3 5 times.

Renmai is called "the sea of Yin pulse". Massage the abdomen can dredge ren meridian, promote up and down, harmonize yin and yang, and enrich the five internal organs.
7. Can you not take medicine without taking medicine?
As the saying goes, three drugs are poisonous. After the drug enters the human body, it must be decomposed by the liver, and some toxins are stored in the liver, which will damage the liver over time. Therefore, drug abuse not only increases the burden on the liver, but also may cause serious damage and lead to liver disease.
Spring is best for nourishing the liver: eat less acid, cold, pungent and greasy, and drink more water; Go to bed early and get up early, get more sunshine and exercise.
Men tonify the kidney, first tonify the liver. When people reach middle age, liver and kidney are deficient. "Liver stores blood and kidney stores essence." Essence can produce blood and blood can transform essence. Liver and kidney are homologous, and essence and blood are the same. Women are based on nourishing the liver. "Women are born with a liver." A woman who can nourish her liver will never get old.
