How to nourish and protect the liver in TCM
1, drink plenty of water
Drinking water can replenish body fluids, enhance blood circulation and promote the body's metabolic capacity. It can also promote gland secretion, help digestion and absorption, promote waste discharge and reduce the damage of toxins and metabolites to liver organs. Therefore, you must drink more water on weekdays.
Among them, drinking water should be mainly warm water, because warm water is more conducive to blood circulation. Please don't drink ice water and raw water, because it is easy to have diarrhea, but it will bring a burden to your body.
Step 2 Adjust your mood
As we all know, anger hurts the liver, that is, anger is not good for the health of the liver. Therefore, we should adjust our mood on weekdays, so as to put out the liver fire and let the liver qi grow normally and smoothly. Therefore, we should learn to adjust our emotions, keep a good mood every day and protect our liver.
When you want to be angry, you should subconsciously divert your attention from what makes you angry, or you will become more and more angry. When you are angry, you might as well eat something, drink some water, or take a few deep breaths to calm your mood.
3. Drink less.
After alcohol is ingested into the body, the liver needs metabolism. If you often drink alcohol and get drunk every time, the liver needs to spend a lot of time metabolizing alcohol, which brings a great burden to the liver. Therefore, if you want to protect the liver, please drink less, and it is best not to drink.
It is suggested that if you want to drink, you must be full first. When you have something in your stomach, you will drink less and avoid taking too much alcohol. And eating something before drinking is not easy to cause vomiting and other problems.
Step 4 eat some Chinese medicine
The liver needs nourishing, but it is easy to get angry when it is supplemented. Note that Chinese medicine believes that liver and kidney are homologous, and tonifying kidney means tonifying liver. Since tonifying the liver will get angry, you can promote the health of the liver by tonifying the kidney. Therefore, you can make tea or cook porridge and stew soup with some traditional Chinese medicines with nourishing liver and kidney effects on weekdays.
For example, directly use medlar to soak hot water as tea. For example, prepare a proper amount of gastrodia elata, medlar and chicken to stew into soup. For example, prepare some glutinous rice, yam and Euryale ferox to cook porridge, and eat some on weekdays, which is very good for liver and kidney.
