According to the five elements theory of Chinese medicine, spring is in the east and the five elements are wood, which corresponds to the liver of the five organs. According to the Chinese medicine theory, “each season has its own focus”, the spring health care principle focuses on “nourishing the liver”. Chinese medicine believes that the liver is the master of the development, the nature of the like to strip and evil depression, in order to make the liver gas in line with the natural gas of spring, in addition to pay attention to the regulation of emotions, moderate exercise, reasonable diet is also particularly important, specifically, to pay attention to the following points: 1, balanced diet: if often overeating or hungry a full meal will increase the burden on the liver, so we should do diet in moderation. Food protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, minerals, etc. to maintain the appropriate ratio, to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, in order to consume enough dietary fiber and vitamins.

But it should be noted that animal liver is rich in cholesterol, high blood lipid patients should not eat too much. 3, save acid to increase the sweet: the Tang Dynasty King of medicine Sun Simiao said: “spring is appropriate to save acid, increase the sweet, to nourish the spleen”. It means that when spring comes, people should eat less sour food and more sweet food to nourish the spleen and stomach of the body. This is because Chinese medicine believes that spring is the season of liver qi, the liver function is strong, can hurt the spleen, affecting the spleen’s digestion and absorption function. Chinese medicine believes that sour taste enters the liver, if too much sour food is consumed in spring, it will make the liver qi, which is already strong, even stronger, and easily harm the spleen and stomach qi, while sweet taste enters the spleen and can benefit the spleen, so we should reduce the intake of sour food such as vinegar and moderately increase the intake of sweet food such as yam and jujube.

The anemic person can take 100 grams of spinach and boil it in soup, or add an appropriate amount of animal blood with the soup. For those with blurred vision, dry eyes and dizziness, 500 grams of fresh spinach and lamb liver can be added to the soup, boil the water and add the lamb liver. Diabetes, hypertension and constipation patients can use 100 grams of fresh spinach and roots, wash, boil water for 3 minutes, take it up and add sesame oil and other seasonings to mix food. 5 symptoms indicate that your liver has been damaged The liver is the body to regulate blood, metabolism center, and modern people’s unhealthy habits cause liver disease is highly prevalent, we will look at the liver “cry for help” five signs, and how to nurture the liver to protect it! 1, easy to get drunk Some people, usually drink a lot, but now become a little drink after feeling “drunk”, this sign reminds you of the decline in liver function, liver damage, the liver can not completely break down the alcohol metabolite acetaldehyde. 2.
