Hello everyone, I'm Ryo Kutani, a nutrition therapist, and today's topic is:
The important role of the liver, now on to the topic:
It's another year of spring, all things grow, spring is the main hair, the five elements belong to the wood, and the liver qi is in order, at this time, starting to nourish the liver will have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort! So today, let's talk about the important role of the liver in our body.
When it comes to the maintenance of the body, it may also be a very important part of many friends' New Year's wishes, of course, our physical health involves all aspects of the problem, one of which is the liver.
During the Spring Festival now, there may be more wine bureaus, or we may stay up late, and there will be more cases of this kind of irregular work and rest, which are actually very harmful to the liver.
The liver really needs everyone's attention, because our liver occupies a very important position in our body, but have you noticed that it is very silent, and it may not be easy to show up a little problem.
You see, we may eat some ice, and then we may have a stomach ache right away, and this stomach will whine at you, but the liver is rarely like that.
So, we call this liver the silent organ. Do you think he is a model worker who works hard every day and does his best? Usually obscure, maybe a little hurt and not easy to complain about being tired?
If you go to study Western medicine and talk about the anatomy of our liver, you will know that there is no nerve in the inside of our liver, and it only has nerves in the outer part of the liver, this capsule.
If there are some in it, whether it is some benign or some malignant, some tumor problems, you think that it has not developed enough inside to grow, and when it gets bigger and bigger, close to the outside, it will not easily feel pain?
But because it is so obscure, hard-working, usually not in the line of fire, and has been silent, we will all neglect its protection.
So what are the behaviors in our lives that are harming our liver? For example, everyone usually talks about "three parts of poison", and you will see a lot of Western medicine instructions, which are very many adverse reactions. And the vast majority of them, as you'll see, will have problems with liver toxicity.
In addition to the problems of drugs like this, there are also many bad habits in our lives, such as some bad habits such as drinking and smoking, which are also very harmful to our liver.
Nowadays, many friends, when they often have physical examinations, check our liver B ultrasound, and they will have such a mild, moderate, or even severe fatty liver problem.
So, we really can't ignore our liver, day after day, year after year, some of the drugs in our lives, and then the fat accumulation problem, we drink alcohol, including smoking. As well as some of our environmental problems, as well as the food we eat, if there are some toxins that are not good for our body, the liver, as an important organ for detoxification, will be very harmful.
Therefore, I hope you will pay more attention to ***, an organ that works hard every day, but never complains about being tired, because it is easy not to complain about being tired, but if it is called, it is a very serious problem.
As you can see, we have been ignoring the liver for a long time.
If you think back to thirty or forty years ago, at that time, our people may not have paid much attention to some viruses like hepatitis B virus, so like thirty or forty years ago, we may have friends like this kind of hepatitis B, and then caused such a long-term liver disease, and even went in the direction of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer.
In fact, we have seen a lot of examples of these in life, and we will see that after we have such vaccines, these problems may be relatively reduced, such as hepatitis B virus, but after our living standard is better, there are indeed more and more friends with fatty liver problems.
Some friends may not have fatty liver yet, but they have already had fat cell infiltration in the liver, and these are actually the problems we talked about liver disease.
Therefore, you will see that in fact, among us, many friends have neglected the liver, more or less there are some such problems, the whole body caused by poor liver maintenance, so it is indeed worth paying attention to the liver.
Okay, so let's take a look at how important the liver is. We can clearly see through this diagram that the liver is very important in the metabolism of our entire body.
The food that everyone wants us to eat, this nutrient, after it has been digested and absorbed in our stomach and small intestine, and through our blood, it will be transported to our liver.
Why is it the first stop to be transported to the liver? Because the liver is a very large synthesis factory, it has to use these nutrients in food to synthesize various substances needed in our body.
So, you will see that our liver, it is like a very busy factory, we have more than 500 kinds of human biochemical reactions, all of which are carried out in our liver, which can be called a very large metabolic center.
In addition to the nutrients that we need to metabolize, you think that there may be some of these toxins in food, including these toxins produced by the body after metabolism, so what should you do? Is it to detoxify? Then this detoxification is also carried out in our liver, and there are very important proteins in our human body, so to speak, the headquarters of protein synthesis, this center is in our liver.
Therefore, you can see that the liver plays a great role in us, and it also stores a large amount of this blood in our human body, and it is also a very large blood bank.
The metabolic synthesis of all nutrients, the detoxification of all metabolic waste toxins, including the storage of blood, is in our liver, so it is too important.
Western medicine attaches great importance to this liver, and our Chinese medicine attaches great importance to this liver, so we can say that it is a very cost-effective investment to maintain this liver this spring.
If this investment is planted in the spring, you will see that the impact it will have on the whole body is very large, very positive, and comprehensive, and everyone is looking forward to it.
Why is it so important for us to take care of this liver in the spring? Because our liver is very much like the spring plant, this state of rejuvenation. Everyone thinks, is this spring the branches stretched and everything recovers?
If we may have encountered some problems in our work and life recently, if we are very angry or depressed, you will find that you really can't sleep well and eat well during this time, right?
In fact, these states are very much affected by our liver, because the liver is in the same state as the grass and trees in spring, and it likes this very stretched, very relaxed state. So, of course, if we are angry or depressed, the damage to the liver is very great.
Then let's imagine, if we can let our liver relax and stretch well through some help in the spring, it will lay a good foundation for the regulation of our whole body qi.
Traditional Chinese medicine says that this liver regulates the qi of the body, so if you have a good liver, do you think that our qi will circulate in my body very smoothly, right?
I still remember watching this martial arts movie when we were young, and you may remember saying that the more you have to practice this martial arts to the highest level, it is to become the whole body qi and blood flow, this is to open up the second pulse of Ren Du, right?
This is indeed very reasonable, because if our qi is not smooth in the body, then it will be stagnant in the local area, causing very serious problems like this.
Therefore, now you will see a lot of diseases, which are related to the stasis of qi and blood, so if our liver is not well maintained, then how can it regulate my body's qi, right?
Therefore, if we nurture this liver, then the tuning of this qi in our whole body, and the turnover of the entire qi and blood will be beaten, so we will share it here today.
