Second, a balanced diet should not be overeating or often hungry. This kind of hungry and unbalanced diet habit will cause abnormal secretion of digestive juice and lead to liver dysfunction. Therefore, the spring diet should be balanced, and the protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals in food should be kept in corresponding proportions; At the same time, we must keep the five flavors unbiased; Try to eat less spicy food and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.
Third, drink less in early spring, which is cold, and a small amount of drinking is beneficial to menstruation, blood circulation, blood stasis and liver yang. But don't drink too much, because the liver's ability to metabolize alcohol is limited, and drinking too much will hurt the liver. According to medical research, a healthy person weighing 60 kilograms can only metabolize 60 grams of alcohol every day. If it exceeds the limit, it will affect the health of the liver and even cause alcoholism, which is life-threatening.
Fourth, a good mood and optimism make people healthy. Because the liver likes depression, anger and anger can easily lead to stagnation of liver qi and blood and become a disease. If you want to have a strong liver, you must first learn to control your anger, even if you are angry, don't be angry for more than 3 minutes. You should try to be calm and optimistic, so that the liver fire can be extinguished and the liver qi can grow normally and smoothly. If you violate this natural law, it will hurt the liver qi, and over time, it will easily lead to liver disease.
Fifth, moderate exercise Spring is a good time for all things to germinate, and it is also a golden season for exercise. Outdoor activities suitable for the season in spring, such as walking, jogging, ball games, playing Tai Ji Chuan, etc., can not only make the human body's qi and blood smooth, bring forth the old and strengthen the body, but also nourish the liver and achieve the purpose of protecting the liver and protecting health.
Sixth, clothes should be loose, spring should be long, and the human body should be long. The ancients said: loose clothes, loose hair, stretch the body, blood will not accumulate. Liver qi and blood are unobstructed, and the body is bound to be strong.

Due to the changeable climate in spring, rainy and humid, some patients with latent inflammation in the liver and gallbladder are prone to aggravate their illness and lead to recurrence of liver disease under the influence of internal and external factors. Yang Hongzhi, director of the Chinese Medicine Department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, said that spring is the season when liver disease is easy to recur. Judging from the number of outpatients, the number of patients with liver disease usually reaches its peak in April-May.
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the liver belongs to the five elements, and the spring wood is flourishing, and the liver governs the gods. In other words, spring is the season when the liver is in season. It is especially important to protect the liver in spring because it is necessary to nourish the yang and benefit the liver and prevent liver depression. Yang Hongzhi believes that in the process of nourishing and protecting the liver, special attention should be paid to diet, which should follow the climate change of the four seasons, otherwise it will be harmful to health and cause disease changes.
Xiao Li, who is in her twenties, has been suffering from chronic small sanyang (E antigen negative) for three or four years. I was invited to dinner recently, and I ate too much when I saw the fresh and sweet prawns. After a few days, my liver disease recurred, and I felt dry mouth, bitter taste and jaundice. Yang Hongzhi explained that Xiao Sanyang is in a state of damp heat, residual poison and immune disorder. In this case, if stimulated by external factors, the condition will be aggravated. Shrimp has the function of strengthening yang and helping fire. Eating too much is easy to get angry and induce diseases.
Food has efficacy and function, and patients' constitutions are different from cold and heat, so different constitutions have different dietary taboos, especially in the season of high incidence of liver disease, which requires careful attention in diet.
Symptoms of patients with heat type: dry mouth and bitter taste; Yellow face and yellow tongue coating; Yellow urine, dry stool, etc. Most patients with heat type are small three-yang patients, and there are also a few patients with severe three-yang.
There is no food in spring: dog meat, beef, cat meat, mutton, rooster, snake, shrimp, carp and fried food. Many people think that Cordyceps sinensis can improve immunity and nourish yin. Cordyceps sinensis actually pays more attention to nourishing yang, which will cause dry mouth and bitter taste and aggravate fever after taking it. Most fruits are cold, but hot fruits such as mangoes and grapes should be eaten less by patients with hot constitution.
The manifestations of patients with cold type: Chinese medicine believes that it is deficiency of cold or yang deficiency, and the most important ones are light mouth, easy diarrhea, abdominal distension, poor appetite, chills, tepid limbs, some soreness of waist and knees, mostly patients with poor immunity, and a few patients with liver cirrhosis.
No eating in spring: pond lice fish, ducks, turtles, soft-shelled turtles, raw clams, Dendrobium, American ginseng, etc.
In spring, patients with liver disease, especially those with small sanyang, should pay special attention to avoid eating "birds in the sky" and "game walking on the ground" For patients with big three yang, dietary taboos are slightly loose. Some patients with low immune function eat foods that tonify yang, which is helpful to strengthen their physique and warm and tonify yang. Patients with transaminase below 100 units and without jaundice can consider eating food that tonifies yang according to their illness, with the aim of stimulating immune function to clear the virus.
Spring is the season when the liver rises. Don't fill the shape with shape, or the liver fire will become more and more prosperous, which is what the synopsis of the golden chamber says: "You don't eat liver in spring, heart in summer, lung in autumn and kidney in winter." In short, we should master a principle in spring diet: light and dampness, nourishing yin, warming with caution, and eating more beans to diuresis and dampness.
If we neglect to protect and nourish the liver, liver dysfunction will lead to a series of diseases. The liver is the largest gland organ in the human body, and almost all nutrients are metabolized by the liver. According to statistics, there are about 500 chemical reactions in the liver. The liver is the main detoxification organ of the human body, which can protect the body from harm. Protecting the liver means ensuring a long life.
Feed the liver first. Pay attention to comprehensive nutrition, eat more foods rich in protein and vitamins, eat less animal fat foods, eat on time, and take the method of eating less and eating more meals when the digestive function is poor to ensure the intake of nutrition. Fresh and ripe fruits are good for health. Chicken liver is sweet and warm, and can nourish blood and liver. It is a good food for nourishing the liver, which has stronger liver nourishing effect than other animals' livers and can warm the stomach. Vinegar is the first choice for nourishing the liver. Vinegar tastes sour and enters the liver, which has the functions of calming the liver, removing blood stasis, detoxifying and killing insects.
