”Heaven and man in unity” – Chinese medicine believes that: man and nature should be in harmony, that is, the human body’s internal environment, a small nature, should always try to adapt to the four seasonal changes of nature, in order to seek the health of the human body itself. “Autumn is the main harvest, and dryness is the main qi of autumn”, that is, in autumn and winter, the climate is dry, the moisture in the air is reduced, and the evil of autumn dryness will hurt the body’s essence, qi, blood and essence and form the disease of yin deficiency. At this time, people are prone to dry throat and nose, dry lips and thirst, cough without phlegm, dry skin and other “autumn dryness” phenomenon. Therefore, Chinese medicine emphasizes the importance of “nourishing Yang in spring and summer, and nourishing Yin in autumn and winter”. The human body, in accordance with the law of the four seasons of yin and yang changes, must begin to conserve yin since the beginning of autumn. Not only should we pay attention to nourishing Yin in autumn and winter, but we should also nourish the liver. The liver is the largest metabolic organ of the human body, many substances and nutrients are synthesized, decomposed, transformed or stored in this metabolic center of the liver, which is likened to the “chemical factory” in the human body, and is also the detoxification organ of the human body. Therefore, the liver is one of the most important organs of the human body. According to Chinese medicine, the liver is Yin and Yang, that is, the function of the liver is Yang, while the liver body is Yin. In autumn and winter, the body is susceptible to loss of yin and fluid, which can lead to deficiency of liver qi. It is advisable for liver patients to focus on nourishing yin at this time. According to the theory of the five elements in Chinese medicine, the lung and autumn belong to gold, while the liver belongs to wood, the five elements are mutually reinforcing, lung gold grams liver wood; lung gold when autumn and prosperous, can restrain liver qi, resulting in autumn liver qi deficiency, at this time liver disease patients should pay attention to nourishing yin, not only patients need to nourish yin, healthy people should nourish yin. For patients with chronic liver disease, autumn and winter is a dangerous season. There are two peaks in the incidence of chronic liver disease co-infections throughout the year, mostly occurring in spring and autumn. Medical studies have found that the peak of liver disease relapses in the fall lasts longer and has more relapses than in the spring. About 47% of patients with chronic hepatitis B have their existing liver disease aggravated by various infections, mostly colds or upper respiratory infections common in autumn, in addition to abdominal infections, overlapping infections of viral hepatitis, and intestinal infections. Therefore, patients with chronic liver disease should pay more attention to the prevention of upper respiratory tract infections and other infectious diseases. Patients with chronic liver disease have a long course of illness and are deficient for a long time. In autumn and winter, the weather is unpredictable, so you should pay more attention to weather changes, add clothing in time to prevent the onset of external evils due to cold. Autumn and winter weather also tend to make people emotionally unstable, easily leading to depression, heart heat and heart trouble (heart fire) symptoms, such as many people prone to mouth ulcers, chest, shoulders, back, two ribs, two arms, etc. appear soreness and pain. Especially for people with liver disease, in late autumn or winter, they should do a good job of protection and pay attention to prevent the recurrence of liver disease. You can do some outdoor physical exercise appropriately to improve the body’s resistance. Not only patients with liver disease need to nourish their liver, but also normal people should pay attention to nourishing their liver. As the saying goes, “anger hurts the liver”, which can cause liver gas to accumulate in the body, leading to liver gas stagnation and poor blood flow. In autumn and winter, the sky is cold, in the north, there is a cold day to drink to warm up the body; in the south, the people like to drink to cheer when eating hot pot. The wine is most likely to hurt the liver, for normal people, a small amount of wine is conducive to the flow of menstruation, blood, siltation and liver Yang Qi rise. But you can’t drink too much, because the liver’s energy to metabolize alcohol is limited, more alcohol will hurt the liver. Especially for patients with liver disease, alcohol is a major taboo. The best way to nourish the liver is through food therapy. Patients with liver disease should pay attention to “nourishing Yin in autumn and winter” in their diet. If you feel that the liver area is distended and uncomfortable, you can eat some sour and sweet products, not only moisten the lung dryness, but also benefit the liver qi, such as wolfberry, Wu Wei Zi, Mai Dong, sour date, etc. Fruits: pear can protect the liver and help digestion; ume plum sour sweet Yin, can strengthen the liver, strengthen the liver detoxification; silver fungus simmered soup, can benefit the kidney and liver; black rice porridge, red date porridge, pork liver and egg porridge, wolfberry and egg porridge can benefit the liver and kidney, nourish blood and brighten the eyes. It is worth noting that while paying attention to nutritional regimen, if you eat high-calorie, high-protein, high-fat food at night for a long time and lack of exercise, it will easily lead to excess nutrition, which will lead to fatty liver over time, and excessive sweets or snacks instead of meals can also cause fatty liver. Experts believe that if fatty liver is not controlled, it can also develop into fatty liver fibrillation, cirrhosis and even liver cancer. For fatty liver, the first is to control the diet, the second is to exercise and exercise, and the third is medication. With fatty liver, therefore, you should start with diet adjustment. It is the characteristic advantage of Chinese medicine to “treat the disease, prevent the disease before it happens, and prevent the disease from changing”.
