Tan Feng, an associate professor of fatty liver slimming clinic in Nanjing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, affirmed the above statement. I also saw many experts on the Internet emphasizing "nourishing the liver first and then losing weight".
Why do you need to raise your liver first to lose weight? Collected some information, let's have a look ~
Do you know that?/You know what? Do you know that?/You know what? The liver plays an important role in "dissolving toxins and metabolizing wastes" in the human body. In the process of losing weight, the liver has the task of decomposing fat and eliminating waste. If the liver function is not good, this task can't be undertaken. In the end, fat can't be effectively decomposed and waste can't be discharged, which will ultimately affect the weight loss effect ~ ~ So you must soothe the liver and nourish the liver before losing weight.
For example, some people like to eat meat but don't grow meat because their liver has a good metabolic function and it is easy to use excess fat. On the other hand, if the liver function loses its "fighting power", free fat may accumulate in the body, which will eventually lead to obesity and other problems.
Therefore, no matter from which angle, liver health is really important. So how to raise the liver? Let's talk about this topic.
Avoid foods high in fat and sugar. Because this kind of food will increase the burden on the liver, increase the accumulation of fat, affect the normal metabolic function of the liver, and ultimately affect the weight loss effect.
Eat a balanced diet, not partial eclipse. Because partial eclipse will lead to the lack of essential nutrients in the liver, and finally affect the normal operation of the liver. Protein, vitamins and minerals can be properly eaten to ensure liver metabolism.
Avoid staying up late. Because the correct schedule is conducive to the maintenance of the liver. Excessive fatigue and lack of sleep will affect the repair and detoxification function of the liver. Therefore, if you want a good liver, you must ensure adequate sleep time and proper rest, and try to give the liver a good rest opportunity.
Always drink some green tea or chrysanthemum tea, either will do. Everyone has heard that drinking tea can nourish the liver, improve eyesight and lose weight, right Yes, tea polyphenols and dietary fiber in tea can adsorb and emulsify oil, which is beneficial to fat digestion. In the end, the tea party will give full play to the role of "relieving boredom" and "scraping oil", which can reduce the burden on the liver and play a role in losing weight. You can soak some chrysanthemums and green tea every day.
Peace of mind. Chinese medicine believes that anger is easy to hurt the liver, so it is suggested that no matter what difficulties or unhappy things you encounter, you should think about it ~ ~ An optimistic attitude is the key to nourishing the liver, and a good attitude can smooth the liver qi.
Finally, advocate spending half an hour doing aerobic exercise every day. Because exercise is also an important part of nourishing the liver, it can improve the metabolic ability of the liver. Moderate aerobic exercise, such as jogging, swimming, yoga, rope skipping, running and Tai Chi, can nourish the liver, accelerate fat burning and help you lose weight. You can also practice "nourishing liver exercises" every day. Long-term persistence can achieve the effect of nourishing the liver. Then, losing weight will get twice the result with half the effort ~
