Three kinds of fruits
The first choice is grapes, which are loved not only for their rich nutrients, but also for the liver benefits of anthocyanins and resveratrol. Anthocyanins have a powerful antioxidant effect, helping to scavenge free radicals in the body and reduce oxidative stress in the liver. At the same time, resveratrol is considered to be a natural liver protector, which can adjust the metabolic function of the liver, reduce the accumulation of fat in the liver, and has a positive effect on the prevention and treatment of fatty liver.
The second is bergamot, which may not be well known in the north, but in the south, especially in the Chaoshan area, bergamot is regarded as a treasure fruit. This fresh, scented fruit not only relieves stress and nourishes the body and mind, but also helps to relieve liver depression. Bergamot has the effect of drying dampness and dissolving phlegm, regulating qi and relieving depression, which is especially suitable for people with heavy humidity and greater mood swings in spring. In addition, bergamot is also a medicinal and edible ingredient, which helps to cough with phlegm and heart pain.
Finally, there is the kumquat, which, despite its small size, is not to be underestimated in terms of nutritional value. Tiny kumquat is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which help boost immunity and have a positive effect on the prevention of liver disease. The warming properties of kumquat are also helpful for gastrointestinal problems in the spring, aiding digestion and detoxification. However, it should be noted that the seeds of kumquat are relatively hard and not easy to digest, so it is best to avoid eating them.
How to better channel liver qi
The liver is closely linked to emotions, and in traditional Chinese medicine, it is often said that "anger hurts the liver", and excessive anger may directly affect liver function. Therefore, in spring, special attention should be paid to regulating emotions and keeping a good mood, which can be cathartic through exercise, meditation and other methods.
In addition, the climate is changeable in spring, and proper physical exercise can help regulate the body's yang energy, promote the circulation of qi and blood, and also be beneficial for maintaining the normal function of the liver. Choose some relaxing outdoor activities, such as walking, jogging, tai chi, etc., which can not only exercise the body, but also relax the body and mind.
Finally, there are many references to some common health preservation methods in ancient texts. For example, massaging the "Taichong" acupuncture points can help dredge the liver meridians and promote the flow of qi and blood. At the same time, moderate consumption of some Chinese herbal medicines that have the effect of regulating qi and relieving depression, such as wolfberry, salvia, etc., can also play a role in nourishing the liver in the process of nourishing the liver in spring.
In the process of nourishing the liver in spring, maintaining a good emotional state, moderate exercise, combined with ancient health wisdom, is an important means to care for the liver. Through these methods, we are better able to cope with the changes in the spring climate, promote blood circulation in the liver, and maintain overall health.
Finally, let us bear in mind the wisdom of "spring nourishing the liver", take health preservation as our own responsibility, and integrate the concept of timely health preservation into our daily life. In this spring, let us and our liver welcome the new green of life, maintain a healthy and happy state, and welcome a better tomorrow. I wish every reader can find a suitable way to maintain their own health in the journey of spring liver nourishment, so that the body can stretch and glow with vitality in the warmth of spring.
