The cold winter is far away and the weather is gradually warming up. As we all know, the liver is a very important organ of the human body, Chinese medicine believes that spring is the season of liver health, when the liver qi is exuberant, if the liver is not well protected, it will hurt the spleen and stomach. So, how to protect the liver in spring? We will tell you in detail. Damage to the liver leads to insufficient vitamin synthesis The liver is located in the right rib of the human body and grows in a position protected by the rib cage. The human liver has about 2.5 billion liver cells and weighs 2.5 to 3 city pounds; most normal adult livers cannot be touched. The liver has the functions of metabolism, detoxification, secretion of bile, etc. It can convert the rice and steamed bread we eat into glycogen or fat for storage; it can digest and decompose the proteins in eggs, milk, and meat and process them into human albumin, etc.; and it can also detoxify the body. When the liver is damaged, liver palms, gynecomastia, testicular atrophy, and spider moles may appear. Abnormal bile excretion and jaundice may also occur. There is no doubt that the immune function of the liver is indispensable in human life, not only can it produce antibodies to kill bacteria and viruses, but also has its own phagocytosis function to remove bacterial toxins from the blood and digestive tract. Animal experiments show that animals without kidneys can survive for a long time by artificial kidneys, and even animals can survive for a long time by extracorporeal circulation without a heart, but not without a liver, and the survival time of animals with their livers completely cut off is more than 72 hours. From here we can see the importance of the liver, then we can take good care of it. In fact, the liver is not delicate, its self-repair ability is very strong, as long as we have no restraint, rough to “woe” it, it can be very good for us to work. So, which way can protect the liver?

In fact, our ancestors have long said that “people move the blood running through the meridians, lying down the blood to the liver”. Ugly time (1 to 3 am) blood flow into the liver meridian, liver “duty” for self-purification, repair. Deep sleep at this moment is conducive to the metabolism of the liver and blood. The deeper you sleep, the more efficiently the liver purifies the blood. If you don’t rest properly at this moment, the liver blood can’t return in time, which will lead to metabolic disorder and liver function will be damaged. The first law of liver care: do not stay up late! 2, eat a good meal In addition, scientific diet, reasonable diet is also very important.

We know that when people are angry, they will feel the blood rushing up, red face, red ears, can not eat, chest tightness, abdominal pain and other symptoms, commonly known as “angry with my liver pain”. People who have seen the Three Kingdoms surely know the allusion to “Zhuge Liang’s three angry Zhou Yu”. Zhou Yu shouted “both born of Yu, why born of Liang” angry spit blood and died. Therefore, we usually have to do less angry, the best not angry. We may as well learn to be more open-minded, more generous, read a lot of books, increase the inner wisdom and strength, and correctly deal with those things that make you unhappy. Pleased with themselves, good treatment of others, always grateful, often do things to help people, cultivate the heart and nature.
