So how to protect the health of the liver in daily life?
1, close your eyes after meals
Generally speaking, you should sit still for 10-30 minutes after meals, and then do other activities, so as to do a good job of nourishing and protecting the liver and avoid the deterioration of liver disease.
The ancients said that "keeping in good health focuses on nourishing the heart", and it is a simple way to recuperate the spirit by often eliminating distractions, calming the mind and closing the eyes.
Closing your eyes can nourish yin and dispel dryness, especially 20 minutes after meals, which can protect the liver and help digestion. It is advisable to close your eyes after meals.
Step 2 get enough sleep
The most important thing to replenish liver blood is to have a good sleep, ensure sleep and don't stay up late.
Especially sleeping between 23: 00 and 03: 00 is the most important, because at this time, the blood in the liver and gallbladder is the most vigorous, and the blood in our viscera must be detoxified through the liver at this time, and the blood lying in the liver belongs to the liver. Therefore, you must go to sleep at this time.
Step 3 drink plenty of water
Drinking water can reduce the damage of toxins to the liver, and a large amount of water can dilute and decompose toxins and excrete them with urine and bile.
If you don't like drinking water, you can drink more tea, which can not only meet the requirements of taste buds, but also nourish and protect the liver.
Dandelion root tea: It was reported in Beijing Satellite TV "I am big doctor" that soaking dandelion root in water can expel hepatotoxicity and prevent liver injury, especially alcoholic liver injury. Dandelion has a certain protective effect on liver and gallbladder because it contains plant bioactive components, namely dandelion sterol and dandelion picrin.

Huangdi Neijing holds that the liver governs cyan, and cyan enters the liver meridian. Blue food has the function of soothing and protecting the liver. Regular consumption can dredge liver qi, nourish liver blood and clear liver fire, thus protecting the liver. Such as spinach and cucumber.
5, massage Taichong point
