New Year's goods are not closed
Speaking of spring, the ancients believed that the color of spring was mainly blue, and by extension to health, the color of the liver corresponded to the cyan color of spring, such as the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" said: "The liver color is green, and the liver is bitter, so it is advisable to eat and be willing to slow it." Therefore, since the liver is woody, the natural liver has the functions of "regulating the qi, pushing the blood and storing the qi" and "kindness and solidifying the will".
But now, with the development of the times and the acceleration of the pace of life, many people will have irregular or even other bad habits in their diet and daily life, and these irregular or unhealthy living habits will increase the burden on the liver on the one hand; On the one hand, it will also make people's emotions become more and more unstable, which will once again harm the health of the liver.
In addition, compared with the spleen, stomach, heart, and kidneys, the liver has a strong tolerance for pain. Therefore, in life, we should pay special attention to whether our body has the following four signals, and pay attention to the health of the liver in daily life.
Although the liver is tolerant and can eat pain, the liver is not without a trace before a major problem, if your body has the following four signs, then you must be careful!
The first signal: redness of the palms
Generally speaking, our palms are tender red or pink white, and once your palms turn red, then you must pay attention, because this phenomenon is called "liver palm".
In addition, if the area where the palm turns red happens to be distributed in the area of the large and small fish, then you should pay more attention to it!
The second signal: yellow complexion
In the view of the ancients, the liver has the main function of excretion, and this excretion is applied to the understanding of modern medicine, in fact, it is the meaning of metabolism and detoxification, so if there is a problem with our liver, then the metabolism and detoxification functions in our body will be abnormal.
Once this abnormality is not controlled and treated, it will inevitably affect the metabolism of ** over time, and then eventually cause problems such as dull complexion, yellowish complexion, and acne.
The third signal: rough nails
Regarding the relationship between nails and liver, it is said in "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing Su Wen": "The liver, its bloom is in the claws." It means that whether the liver is healthy or not will be reflected in the nails, and this nail is a barometer of liver health.
So if you have enough blood in your liver, your nails will generally look strong, bright, and rosy.
Fourth signal: dry eyes
The ancients said: "The liver is open to the eyes." That is, the health of the liver can be reflected from the human eyes, and the visual effect of the eyes is actually closely related to the liver.
Therefore, problems such as "dry eyes, astringent eyes, and blurred vision" actually reflect the health of the liver to a certain extent.
Since ancient times, spring is said to be the oriental green wood phase, and the main liver qi rises in spring, so this spring is naturally a ** period to maintain the liver, and if you want to nourish the liver in the spring, in addition to maintaining a regular daily diet and work and rest, it is best to remember and do this "eight-character key". ”
More tea: Drink wolfberry tea
The ancients believed that wolfberry returned to the liver and kidney meridians, and had the effects of nourishing the liver, tonifying the kidney, benefiting essence, and brightening the eyes; The chrysanthemum is cool, can clear the wind and clear the heat, calm the liver and brighten the eyes. These two things are partnered, one clear and one supplement, one yin and one yang, and at the same time, the nature is also more mild, which can not only nourish the liver but also help the liver, which is suitable for more people to eat.

Eating sweetness: The sweetness of eating beans
Nowadays, everything grows in spring, everything is in the bud, so the early spring food sprouts just conform to the principle of natural health, but the "sprouts" here do not simply refer to the sprouts of bean sprouts or vegetables, in the understanding of the ancients, many beans such as peas, mung beans, red beans, black beans, in fact, are also a kind of "sprout" food.
Among them, the most suitable for eating at the moment is naturally black beans, for two reasons: its.

Second, the black beans on the market are mostly produced in the golden autumn and October, so this batch of black beans that have been "golden autumn, boiling cold, and welcoming early spring" are in the peak state of their internal cultivation.
As the ancients said: "Black beans are warm in nature, sweet in taste, and can enter the heart, liver, and kidney meridians." Its center is the official of summer, and the kidney is the minister of winter, and the liver is the teacher of three springs, so eating black beans in spring can achieve the health preservation effect of "inheriting the past and opening up the future" so that "winter can be nourished, and pre-summer".
So how should we eat this black bean at home? In fact, the way to eat black beans is mainly divided into one dry and one wet, first of all, the wet one, that is, to beat it into soy milk to drink, the method is as follows:
Start by preparing 100 grams of black beans and 40 grams of brown rice and a small portion of sugar.
Then wash the black beans first, soak them in warm water overnight, then pour the black beans into a blender with the water they soaked in, polish them for about two minutes, and grind the black beans to the end.
Then you can use a leak net to filter the soy milk bean dregs, then put the soy milk into a casserole, boil over high heat until boiling, then turn off the heat and use, remember to add white sugar to taste when drinking.
Of course, the rest of the "dry" black beans are vinegar-soaked black beans.
