If the liver is not good, the body will "suffer a lot", which is not out of nowhere.
Toxins in the body are mainly solved by the liver, "toxins" can destroy the body, and the liver can save the body.
Therefore, once there is a big or small problem in the liver, the body will also suffer.
Traditional Chinese medicine says: There are all the inside must be done outside, the liver is damaged, and there will be some "clues" on the outside of the body.
Once the following four signs appear in the head, there is a chance that the liver has been diseased, and it should be checked in time.
There are four signs on the head, which should be checked in time1
Qi and blood balance can maintain the balance of the human body, when the liver is not good, the imbalance of liver qi will make the liver unable to balance the body's qi and blood.
This imbalance of qi and blood is manifested on the lips, which are prone to inexplicably long-term dryness and not rosyness.
2. The face is dull and acne-ridden
When the liver is damaged, resulting in the accumulation of liver toxins, it will lead to insufficient blood in the liver, which will not be able to nourish the health of the face, and the face will become dull.
When liver toxins accumulate further, acne and acne will begin to appear on the face, which is caused by too much waste being retained in the body, resulting in hormone imbalance and endocrine imbalance.
3. Yellowing of the sclera of the eye
If the liver is open to the eyes and there is "yellowing of the sclera", it is necessary to pay attention to the liver lesion and seek medical examination as soon as possible.
"Scleral yellowing" is an important basis for diagnosing liver disease.
Hepatitis A and acute hepatitis B almost all have varying degrees of "scleral xanthochromia".
If so, corneal pigment rings are present, which is the main feature in patients with Wilson's disease.
In addition, according to research and investigation, more than half of patients with cirrhosis will have this symptom, which is caused by the inability to discharge bile and the increase in bilirubin.
Therefore, once the sclera is yellow, you should seek medical attention immediately.
Purple lips indicate stagnation of liver qi and poor blood stasis.
Liver qi stagnation is generally caused by low mood, high psychological pressure, and bad emotions that cannot be vented.
At the same time, liver qi stagnation can also lead to oral problems such as dry mouth, bitter mouth, and bad breath.
Four things will "accelerate" liver lesions1
. Staying up late for a long time
Staying up late is to stay up for liver blood, and staying up late for a long time will cause serious damage to the liver.
If you don't get sleep for a long time, or if you don't get enough sleep, over time, your liver will slowly become ill.
Staying up late for a long time leads to hormone metabolism disorders, nervous system dysfunction, decreased immunity, and liver damage. Staying up late, insomnia, not sleeping well, and checking liver function the next day, aminotransferases will be elevated.
"Long-term vision hurts the liver", staying up late for a long time and using your eyes excessively will also consume a lot of liver blood and damage liver health.
Insufficient liver blood will lead to dry eyes, astringent eyes, poor complexion, memory loss, insomnia and dreams, claw nails, etc., which will endanger liver health and be more detrimental to human health.
2. Drinking a lot of alcohol for a long time
Only 10% of the alcohol drunk into the human body is digested in the stomach, and the other 90% is metabolized by the liver.
The product of alcohol oxidation promotes the synthesis of fats, and at the same time, the decomposition of fatty acids is impaired, leading to the formation of fatty liver.
Alcohol-induced hyperlactic acidemia increases proline and accelerates the progression of cirrhosis. Hyperlactic acidemia and hyperprolineemia are now considered to be markers of fibrosis in ALD.
Recent studies have proved that alcohol and its metabolite acetaldehyde can change the antigenicity of liver cell membranes. After drinking alcohol for a long time, it causes the body's autoimmune function hormone to be disordered, resulting in alcoholic hepatitis.
In daily life, many foods can become moldy, and such foods are very susceptible to aflatoxins.
This is a carcinogen, the toxin can induce liver cancer in humans, monkeys, rats and birds, and the shortest time required to cause cancer is 24 weeks.
Aflatoxin, which has been proven to have a definite carcinogenic effect, mainly affects the liver.
In life, peanuts with bad taste, bitter nuts, moldy rice, expired food, long-soaked fungus, etc., should be eaten less and try to avoid being infected with aflatoxin.
4. Indiscriminate consumption of drugs
Medical studies have shown that the annual incidence of drug-induced liver injury in the general population of China is higher than that in Western countries, which cannot be ignored.
In life, antibiotics, antipyretic analgesics, contraceptives, etc., are prone to cause acute liver damage.
Be cautious with your medications, preferably as directed by your doctor, and never abuse drugs.
To maintain liver health, insist on doing this1
, sleep in the meridian and replenish liver and blood
Liver blood has the function of nourishing the liver and nourishing the body.
However, in life, staying up late consumes liver blood, and long-term vision hurts liver blood.
Therefore, to protect the liver, we should also pay attention to nourishing liver and blood to nourish liver health.
Sleep well in the meridian and nourish the liver and blood.
Traditional Chinese medicine says: People lie down, blood returns to the liver. Sleep is the easiest and most effective way to nourish the liver and blood.
It is necessary to sleep soundly when you are young, nourish the liver and blood, and at the same time, help the liver rest and promote the self-recovery of the liver.
A nap in the afternoon can replenish sleep, which is beneficial to liver and kidney health, and is also conducive to nourishing liver and blood.
2. Good mood, soothing liver depression
Liver, main catharsis, joy, depression. Therefore, changes in mood are especially important for the liver.
Once you are often angry, angry, short-tempered, etc., it will "add blockage" to the liver and damage your health.
A good mood is conducive to soothing the liver and regulating qi, relieving depression and dissipating knots, and is beneficial to liver health.
Smiling often can relieve liver depression, promote the expression of liver qi, and be more conducive to liver health. Smiling more and maintaining a beautiful mood is a very important matter to protect the liver, so don't ignore it.
In addition, you can also drink some flower tea, which helps to loosen the liver and regulate qi and improve your mood.
3. Pass the liver meridian and strengthen the liver
The liver qi is cleared, all veins are connected, and the liver meridians are dredged, which can strengthen the liver function and help the human body's health.
If you want to dredge the liver meridian, the focus is on the word "push".
Push your legs, sit down, bend your left leg first, lay your knees flat, put your palms together and press them on the inside of the base of your left thigh, push forward slightly more forcefully to your knees, first left and then right, 50 times each.
