How to nourish and protect the liver? Nowadays, people's pace of life is getting faster and faster, and their diet is very irregular, which leads to the torture of liver disease. The liver is very important to human health, so it needs maintenance. Let's look at how to nourish and protect the liver.
How to nourish and protect the liver 1 1 Drink plenty of water: Drinking plenty of water can replenish body fluids, enhance blood circulation and promote metabolism. Drinking plenty of water can also promote the secretion of glands, especially digestive glands, pancreatic juice and bile, so as to facilitate digestion, absorption and waste elimination and reduce the damage of metabolites and toxins to the liver.
2, cheerful mood: If you want a strong liver, you must first learn to control anger, even if you are angry, don't exceed 3 minutes. You should try to be calm and optimistic, so that the liver fire will be extinguished and the liver qi will grow normally and smoothly. Violation of this natural law will hurt the liver qi.
3. Pay attention to a balanced diet: the diet should be balanced, and the protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals in the food should be kept in corresponding proportions; At the same time, we should keep the balance of five flavors and try to eat less spicy food. Reasonable diet and balanced nutrition are also beneficial to protect the liver and avoid liver damage caused by excessive drinking for entertainment.
4. Maintain moderate exercise: strengthen exercise and improve immunity. Chinese medicine experts point out that exercise can prevent fatty liver and consume excess fat in the body. People who already have fatty liver should insist on physical exercise and do some aerobic exercises such as jogging, brisk walking and cycling, which can consume calories in the body and control weight gain.
5, drink less: the liver has limited energy to metabolize alcohol, and drinking more 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 endanger life.
6. Drinking dairy products is mainly to supplement protein, and yogurt is better, because yogurt can regulate intestinal flora and promote toxin excretion. In addition, yogurt can promote the production of interferon, improve human immunity, and achieve the purpose of nourishing and protecting the liver.
7, adjust the work and rest: the liver also needs rest. Try to fall asleep before 1 1 at night, and would rather get up early than stay up late. Because during the liver detoxification time from 23:00- 1:00 at night, most organs except the liver operate slowly. The liver uses this free time to work nervously to remove toxins from the human body, but this detoxification process must be carried out while sleeping.
8. Soaking Lycium barbarum in water: For those whose lives are irregular and their liver needs maintenance, taking 10g Lycium barbarum in water every day, that is, a small handful, is very beneficial to nourishing liver yin and repairing liver cells. The key point is persistence. Of course, not everyone is suitable for soaking. I will also sort out the method of soaking Chinese wolfberry in water in the future.
9. Knead the tendon (this method is simple to operate): Location: The sole of the foot faces itself, and the toes turn up, and a hard tendon will emerge from the sole of the foot. Usually, the more violent a person is, the harder this tendon is. Press it with your thumb, like a rope. However, some people can't find it. When rubbing this place, they will feel that this tendon is weak and can't afford to collapse. This kind of person usually has insufficient liver qi and blood does not flow downwards. Instead, they need to rub the tendons. People with liver disease must press this tendon. Operation: Turn the thumb of the foot up and knead it from top to bottom. This tendon must be exposed, otherwise it will have no effect.
10, press the line too hard. (i.e. Taichong point and Hang Jian point): Press for at least 5 minutes every day and follow Taichong point to Hang Jian point. It should be noted here that the direction should not be wrong, because the liver fire does not need to be supplemented, and even if the pressure on the liver is reduced, it will be supplemented.
How to nourish and protect the liver 2 1, and pay attention to food hygiene. Don't drink raw water and eat raw seafood in your daily life. Because some seafood contains hepatitis A virus, eating these seafood raw is easy to be infected with viral hepatitis.
2. Don't smoke or drink. Long-term smoking and drinking will seriously damage the liver and lead to alcoholic hepatitis, fatty liver and cirrhosis. For their health, everyone should give up smoking and drinking in peacetime.
3. A balanced diet. In our daily diet, we should eat less big fish and meat, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to maintain the nutritional balance in the body, and often eat high-calorie and high-fat foods, which is very prone to fatty liver.
4. Adjust sleep time. Everyone should keep enough sleep in daily life, 8 hours sleep every day, try not to stay up late, and get into the habit of going to bed early and getting up early. Only when you get enough sleep can you nourish and protect your liver. Often staying up late, lack of sleep will damage people's liver.
5. Maintain a normal weight. Obesity can easily lead to fatty liver, so keep a normal weight. Obese friends should actively lose weight and prevent fatty liver caused by obesity.
6. stay away from the source of infection. Hepatitis is a particularly contagious disease. Don't use toothbrushes, razors and other appliances with others at ordinary times to prevent hepatitis.
