We all know that as we age, our "internal organs" will gradually age. Among them, the most reassuring thing is our "delicate" liver!
The liver is the most important detoxification and metabolism organ of our body, once the liver is damaged, it will affect the normal metabolism and operation of the whole body, which will have a great impact on the health of the body.
Therefore, we must take good care of our liver and prevent the liver from aging "ahead"!
Clenching fists with both hands, concentrating on the liver and nourishing
people, there is a saying that "you can hold it when you are born, let it go when you die, hold it solidly, let it go, hold it and let it go".
We usually see that newborn babies have a particularly sufficient liver meridian qi, because babies tend to instinctively clench their fists to "solidify their souls" out of self-preservation. When a person's life ends, it is "the liver and soul are lost, and they are gone".
Therefore, clenching a fist is an innate "function" of human self-preservation!
Grip solid, is the Taoist health of the common hand style, the Jin Dynasty celebrity Ge Hong in the "hug Puzi" that advocated "hold the stick to one".
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the human body system that is used by the grip is the "liver meridian system" and the "kidney meridian system", the liver and kidney are homologous, the liver stores blood, the kidney stores essence, and the essence and blood are born together and nourish each other.
Therefore, grasping and strengthening helps to nourish the liver, and long-term persistence can calm the soul, collect essence, nourish yin and reduce fire.
At the same time, gripping is also a common fist technique in traditional qigong.
For example, the Yijin Sutra's "Qinglong Probe Claw Potential", Baduanjin's "Fist Anger and Anger to Increase Strength", and Twelve Duanjin's "Close Your Eyes and Sit, Hold Solid and Meditate on God" and other moves will all use the method of grasping and solidifying.
Time is a knife to kill pigs.
Human aging is not only manifested in the external body appearance, but also in the internal organs of the body, among which the changes in the liver are the most obvious.
After the age of 25 for men and 20 for women, the blood flow of the liver circulation decreases by 0.3%~1.5% per year on average. At the age of 60, the intrahepatic blood flow is reduced by 40%~50% compared with that at the age of 20. At the same time, the number of hepatocytes and the metabolic function of the liver will also decrease and decrease with age.
If we want to live a long and healthy life, we must protect our "liver".
The grip is simple and has a unique protective effect on the liver! When we walk, ride in the car, chat, watch TV, and have meetings, we can hold our arms as long as they are free.
We clasp our thumbs in the palm of our hands, with the tips of our fingers at the base of our ring fingers, and then bend the remaining four fingers, with a little force, and hold our thumbs firmly, like holding a baby.
Why should the tip of the thumb be placed on the base of the ring finger? This is because the root of the ring finger is the place where the liver meridian passes through, and it is where the liver soul is located.
Therefore, those who hold it firmly are not susceptible to external evils, and can be like a child, returning to their own origin in the process of cultivation; It can also resist external evil spirits, such as in winter, if you wear less clothes and are prone to cold, you can resist the cold and prevent the invasion of cold evil by holding it and talking less.
Don't forget to nourish your liver in autumn and winter
The liver meridian is on both sides of the human body, and when lying on the side, whether it is lying on the left side or on the right side, it can nourish liver qi.
Because when a person is lying on his side, the blood naturally goes to the liver meridian, "the liver mainly stores blood", as soon as the blood returns to the liver meridian, the human body can sleep quietly and start the day's hematopoietic function.
Pay attention to your eyes
The eyes and the liver are connected, and the liver mainly stores blood and moisturizes the eyes, so the liver must nourish the eyes.
(1) Close your eyes and recuperate
Closing the eyes and recuperating the mind can nourish yin and remove dryness, especially sitting quietly for 20 minutes after eating, which can protect the liver and eliminate food.
(2) Roll your eyes
"Seeing for a long time hurts the liver", especially people who sit and stare at the computer for a long time, often turn their eyes, which is good for the liver.
Methods: Rotate the eyeball from left to right more than 10 times, and then from right to left more than 10 times.
Use medications with caution
In addition to their therapeutic effects, drugs sometimes have toxic side effects.
But it is also difficult to do "for the rest of your life" without taking medicine, so we should keep in mind the four principles of taking medicine to minimize our liver damage:
(1) If you can not take medicine, you will not take medicine;
(2) If you can take Chinese medicine to solve the problem, don't take Western medicine;
(3) If it can be solved with nutrients, do not use drugs;
(4) If it can be solved with natural food, do not use drugs and nutrients.
