Sleep well when nourishing the liver: at night 1: 00 to 3: 00 is the time when the liver meridian is in season. At this time, if you don't have enough rest and get a good sleep, the liver blood will be insufficient and the liver will store blood, so if people sleep well, they can get a good rest for the liver. Especially in spring, as the season of nourishing the liver, it is necessary to lie down and get up early at night, fall asleep around 22:00 at night and get up at 5-7 am, which can effectively protect the liver.
Nourishing the liver and eating five flavors: spring is the core of nourishing the liver, but if it rises, it will cause excessive liver fire and easy to get angry. At this time, you can eat some sour food to neutralize it; On the other hand, if the liver is qi-deficient, you can eat more spicy food, such as leeks and garlic sprouts. Chinese medicine says: "Blue enters the liver meridian". Green food is beneficial to the circulation and metabolism of liver qi, relieving fatigue and liver depression. Eating more dark or green food can nourish and protect the liver.
Nourishing the liver is not angry: because the liver likes to disperse evil and depression, so if you want to protect the liver in spring, you must first learn to control anger. All diseases are born of qi. If a person is often angry or depressed, it will inhibit the release of liver-qi, leading to poor rise of liver-qi, which will easily lead to depression, thus leading to depression; Qi stagnation leads to poor blood flow, which will cause edema, congestion and other adverse symptoms, and even lead to plaque, thyroid gland, breast hyperplasia and other diseases. Therefore, we should maintain a comfortable mood and try to be calm, optimistic and cheerful.
