Dear friends, do you feel that many people are always tired and unwell?
In fact, many times, this is inextricably related to our diet and lifestyle habits. Today, I will talk to you about how to nourish and protect the liver by adjusting your diet.
I have a friend Xiao Wang, who often needs to stay up late and work overtime, lack sleep for a long time, and feel that his body is getting worse.
Once, he had a physical examination and found that his liver function indicators were abnormal, and the doctor advised him to pay attention to his diet to regulate his liver. So he began to study some foods that nourish the liver and change bad habits.
After a period of conditioning, Xiao Wang's liver function has returned to normal. He specially shared this experience of regulating the liver with me, so that I could also pay attention to enriching the liver-nourishing food.
Today, I will introduce to you several of the most common and effective liver-nourishing ingredients.
The first thing to mention is wolfberry, which is a very valuable Chinese medicinal material, which can delay aging, and the ancients called it "but Lao Tzu".
Goji berries contain a variety of nutrients, which can protect the liver from hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and other diseases. I suggest that you can choose goji berry tea, or soak goji berries directly in boiling water to drink.
There is also the wild herb dandelion that we are familiar with, which has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, brightening the eye, and contains choline and other ingredients that can help clear liver fire and prevent liver cancer.
Healthy Spring Festival In my rural hometown, I can often see villagers making homemade dandelion soup to drink, which is very healthy.
There are many opportunities for everyone to eat lotus seeds, in fact, lotus seeds are also an excellent liver food. It is rich in protein, fat, carbohydrates and other nutrients, which can clear heat, calm the nerves, and protect the liver.
I recommend using lotus seeds to make soup, which is good for relieving stagnation and calming liver fire.
I have to say that the protection and repair effect of traditional Chinese medicine Panax notoginseng on the liver is also very good. It contains ingredients that can invigorate blood, relieve pain, and promote liver cell regeneration.
However, Panax notoginseng is a relatively expensive Chinese herbal medicine, and when you use it, you still need to use it reasonably under the guidance of a doctor.
Finally, we should also remind everyone to pay attention to adding some salvia in moderation. Salvia miltiorrhiza has the effect of invigorating blood and meridians, which can improve the microcirculation of the liver, which is very beneficial to the prevention and treatment of liver diseases.
However, salvia is a cooler ingredient, so it needs to be used appropriately.
In addition to the ingredients I mentioned, such as white peony, angelica, Chuanxiong, astragalus, etc., are also very good choices.
I hope that everyone can reasonably allocate these liver-nourishing ingredients in their daily life to make the liver healthier.
In fact, our liver has a lot to do with mood and sleep quality. To really regulate the liver, it is not enough to rely on food, we also need to develop good lifestyle habits.
I suggest you try the following:
1.Get enough sleep. Lack of sleep will increase the burden on the liver, so it is necessary to develop a normal sleep schedule and ensure 7-8 hours of sleep every day.
2.Keep your emotions in check. Suppressing negative emotions for a long time can hurt the liver, so you can regulate your emotions through meditation, exercise, confiding, etc., and maintain a positive and optimistic attitude.
3.Quit smoking and limit alcohol. Tobacco and alcohol are very damaging to the liver, so we should try to quit these bad habits and control the amount of alcohol in moderation.
4.Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Eating fresh fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C and antioxidants can help detoxify the liver and improve immunity.
5.Exercise to exercise the body. Moderate exercise can enhance the metabolic function of the liver, which is very good for liver protection.
6.Reduce drug harm. Try to take less over-the-counter medicines to avoid long-term damage to the liver.
7.Stay away from environmental toxins. Try not to be exposed to environmental toxins such as air pollution and water pollution, which can increase the burden on the liver.
By adjusting our diet and lifestyle to make our liver healthy, our overall health can also be improved. Friends, let's take care of our liver! Take care of your body and stay young forever!
