Autumn is the best time to nourish the liver. At this time, you can achieve the purpose of nourishing the liver through diet. In addition to diet, health care can also start from some small habits in life. Closing your eyes is a health care behavior that many elderly people like to do.

1, closing your eyes and resting your mind can actually nourish your liver.

Closing one's eyes is a simple and effective way to recuperate the spirit in China. Chinese medicine believes that air is very important for physical and mental health. God's consumption is related to people's strength and old age, and God's gains and losses are also related to people's prosperity and decline. So closing your eyes is to preserve the essence of the five internal organs.

"Eye" is the soul and the window to the soul, and the essence of the internal organs of the human body is concentrated on the eye. When closing your eyes, you should pay attention to the whole body to relax and let nature take its course, so that the whole body can be dredged and qi and blood can flow smoothly. The combination of work and rest has achieved unexpected results in nourishing and protecting the liver. It is undoubtedly good for the liver to rest in time and decompress it.

As the saying goes, "walk a hundred steps after dinner and live to ninety-nine." In fact, this is not correct. During this period after dinner, most of the blood in the body is concentrated in the digestive tract for food digestion. If you do other exercises at this time, the blood will be diverted to all parts of the body, thus reducing the blood flow of the liver. If the blood supply to the liver is insufficient, the normal metabolic activities of the human body cannot be carried out normally, resulting in liver damage to varying degrees.

Close your eyes and sit still after dinner.

Meditation after meals can supply more blood to the liver and provide sufficient oxygen and nutrition for liver cells, which is of great benefit to the liver. This is a simple and effective way to protect the liver for people who already have liver disease. Therefore, we must form the good habit of closing our eyes after meals. Close your eyes, you can do it between work and study, or you can sit alone in a quiet place with your eyes closed, eliminate all external interference, relax your thoughts and feelings, and make your brain in a static state without distractions, troubles and peace of mind. Don't underestimate these few minutes of closing your eyes, it can make you "recharge" quickly and gain energy.

When you can't sleep at night, the best choice is to "close your eyes" to calm your mind, rather than reading books and newspapers. At the same time, if you can cooperate with eye exercises, you can improve dizziness, blurred vision, dry eyes, eye muscle fatigue and other symptoms.

The specific approach is:

Gently close your eyes and rub your two thumbs outward at the inner corner of your eyes for 24 times, or put your hands and four fingers together and rub your fingers gently outward on your eyes for 24 times.

Second, turn inward 24 times.

The habit of closing our eyes often is the easiest and easiest of all our habits. No matter at work or at home, when you are tired or have a lunch break, you can always close your eyes to recuperate. This is also a good way to rest.
