This kind of people often have symptoms such as bloodshot eyes and redness, and some people have fatty liver. There are many ways to clear liver. I often make some tomato and spinach soup in my life, and the effect is good.
Tomatoes are rich in vitamin C, and spinach is sweet and flat, which belongs to the liver meridian and can calm the liver and improve eyesight. Both of them are good for clearing liver. The laziest way is to blanch the spinach first, remove most of the oxalic acid, then change the water and throw the tomatoes and spinach in for cooking. To be more particular, stir-fry the tomatoes first, then add water and cook for a while. Finally, add blanched spinach, and add seasoning after boiling. The soup made in this way is delicious and nutritious.
