Seasonal changes lead to recurrence of liver disease.
The liver is the largest metabolic organ of the human body, and many substances and nutrients are synthesized, decomposed, transformed or stored in the metabolic center of the liver. It is called the "chemical plant" in the human body, and it is also the detoxification organ of the human body. So the liver is one of the most important organs in the human body. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver is yin and the yang is used, that is, the function of the liver belongs to yang, while the liver belongs to yin. In autumn and winter, the body is easy to lose yin and body fluid, which will cause liver qi deficiency. At this time, patients with liver disease should pay attention to nourishing yin. According to the theory of five elements in traditional Chinese medicine, lung autumn belongs to gold, liver belongs to wood, and the five elements coexist, and lung gold is better than liver wood; In autumn, the lung is prosperous, which can restrict liver qi and lead to insufficient liver qi in autumn.
Patients with chronic liver disease have a long course of disease and are weak. In autumn and winter, the weather is changeable, so we should pay more attention to the weather changes and add clothes in time to prevent colds and illness. The climate in autumn and winter is also easy to make people feel unstable, which easily leads to depression and symptoms of heart heat and upset. For example, many people are prone to oral ulcers, chest, shoulders, back, ribs, arms and so on. Especially in patients with liver disease, in late autumn or winter, we should do a good job of protection and pay attention to prevent recurrence of liver disease. You can do some outdoor physical exercise properly to improve your body's resistance. Not only patients with liver disease need to nourish liver, but normal people should also pay attention to nourishing liver.
There is a saying in the north that it is cold to drink and warm up; In the south, people like to drink while eating hot pot. Alcohol is most likely to damage the liver. For normal people, a small amount of drinking is conducive to dredging channels and collaterals, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and promoting liver yang. But don't drink too much, because the energy of alcohol metabolism in the liver is limited, and drinking too much will hurt the liver. Especially for patients with liver disease, alcohol is a taboo.
Dietotherapy is the best way to nourish the liver.
Patients with liver disease should pay attention to the principle of "nourishing yin in autumn and winter" in diet. "Acid enters the liver" refers to eating sour food or drugs, such as hawthorn, Schisandra chinensis, dark plum, white peony, etc., which can nourish the liver. "Nourishing the liver" means "nourishing the liver yin and nourishing the liver blood", which means softening the liver and regulating the mood. Only when liver yin and liver blood are sufficient, the physiological function of the liver can function normally. Mume is sour and sweet, and turns yin, which can strengthen the detoxification of the liver; Tremella simmer soup can nourish kidney and liver; Black rice porridge, jujube porridge, pork liver and egg porridge and medlar and egg porridge can nourish liver and kidney, nourish blood and improve eyesight.
It is worth noting that while paying attention to nutrition intake, if you eat high-calorie, high-protein and high-fat food for a long time without exercise at night, it will easily lead to overnutrition, which will lead to fatty liver for a long time, and excessive eating of sweets or snacks instead of meals will also lead to fatty liver. Experts believe that if fatty liver is not controlled, it will develop into fatty liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and even liver cancer. For fatty liver, the first is to control diet, the second is exercise, and the third is drug treatment.
In addition, about 47% of patients with chronic hepatitis B are aggravated by various infections, mostly common cold or upper respiratory tract infection in autumn, in addition to abdominal infection, viral hepatitis overlapping infection, intestinal infection and so on. Therefore, patients with chronic liver disease should pay more attention to prevent upper respiratory tract infection and other infectious diseases.
