Step 1: Balanced nutrition
The liver is a chemical plant, and the nutrients we eat in three meals are metabolized by it, which will be converted into bioactive proteins, lipids and glycogen for various organs. Therefore, we should treat this important organ gently, not rudely. Nutritionists say that a balanced diet is the most important, and protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals are all necessary for the liver. A balanced diet should consist of 60% ~ 70% carbohydrates (such as rice and pasta), 20% ~ 30% protein (such as meat and beans) and 65,438+00% ~ 20% polyunsaturated fats (such as vegetable oil).
But relatively speaking, protein, carbohydrates and vitamins are more popular in the liver, and fat should be taken in moderation. Excessive body fat will increase the burden on the liver and increase the risk of fatty liver. If diet and weight are properly controlled and body fat is reduced, liver fat will also be reduced, thus reducing the burden on the liver. At the same time, controlling alcohol intake and excessive drinking will increase the chances of fatty liver and alcoholic liver disease. If you already have liver disease, you should give up drinking completely.
Ensure sleep
It takes a week for the liver to return to normal function after staying up late. When the quality of sleep is poor, especially when there is sleep disorder, the liver will also be involved. For example, sleep apnea syndrome can lead to liver damage. Therefore, high-quality sleep is necessary for liver protection. Generally speaking, after a hard day's work, it is time for the liver to repair itself and metabolize itself from 1 1 to 3 am. At this time, it is necessary to ensure that the human body has entered sleep, so that the liver can get a full rest and regain its vitality. When sleeping, the burden on the liver is the lightest, and the human body is lying down, so the liver can enjoy more blood nourishment, and the most blood flows through the liver, which is conducive to the repair of the liver.
Step 3: Stay optimistic.
Bad changes in mood will bruise internal organs and show physical discomfort. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, anger is the most unfavorable to the liver among the seven emotions. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver governs qi-flowing, which leads to happiness and smooth general rules. Anger will lead to abnormal drainage of the liver, leading to stagnation of liver qi, which will easily lead to liver disease over time. Bad emotions such as irritability, irritability and anxiety. Will lead to stagnation of liver qi. Therefore, Chinese medicine believes that the core of emotional liver protection is to learn to control anger. Even if you are angry for less than 3 minutes, you should try your best to maintain a good attitude and be calm, optimistic and carefree, so as to extinguish the liver fire and make the liver qi grow normally and smoothly.
