1, How do men care for their liver?
1, diet protects liver
Diet is an important measure to protect the liver, which has two main points: first, optimize food and provide sufficient nutrients to meet the physiological needs of the liver; Second, pay attention to food hygiene to prevent bacteria and viruses from invading the liver. Nutritionists tell us that five nutrients, such as protein, fat, carbohydrate, vitamins and mineral elements, are also necessary for the liver. However, the liver needs more protein, carbohydrates and vitamins, and too much fat may cause fatty liver, which must be properly restricted.
2. Sleep protects the liver
According to experts, when the human body lies flat during sleep, the liver can enjoy more blood irrigation, while when the body is at rest, the burden on the liver is the lightest, so high-quality sleep has a significant role in protecting the liver. On the contrary, poor sleep quality, especially sleep disorder, is easy to involve liver function. Medical experts have noticed that a sleep disorder called sleep apnea syndrome can cause liver damage.
To improve the quality of sleep, the first step is to actively treat sleep disorders, such as insomnia and sleep apnea syndrome. Secondly, don't engage in work that consumes too much brain power at night, and don't stay up late. Some people often stay up late and stay up late because of their poor liver.
3. Anger and liver protection
Experts say that regulating emotions, dissolving bad emotions in your heart and keeping yourself in a good mood are conducive to the health care of your liver. If the mood fluctuates, it can make the hormone secretion in the body unbalanced, lead to blood circulation disorder, affect the blood supply of the liver, and make the liver cells die of ischemia. This is what Chinese medicine calls "the sorrow of the spleen and the anger of the liver". The core of anger control and liver protection is to learn to control anger, even if you are angry, don't exceed 3 minutes. When you are angry, your face will be red and your legs will be weak. You should be alert in time, find the source of your anger, and carefully sort out the changes in your mentality. Anger is generally caused by vicious interaction with the outside world. When you find your own fault, you will feel ashamed, so that the liver fire will be extinguished and the liver qi will grow normally, smoothly and permanently.
Step 4 take the initiative to rest
Experts say that middle-aged men take the initiative to find time to rest every day, which is the greatest love for the liver. Rest can reduce physical exertion, the decomposition of glycogen and protein, and the production of lactic acid, thus reducing the burden on the liver. Don't wait until fatigue strikes before you want to leave. This is called passive rest. Metabolic wastes in the body at this time-lactic acid, carbon dioxide, etc. -Too much accumulation has done harm to the liver. Active rest, that is, rest before fatigue occurs, and the accumulated waste in the body is still very small, which can be completely removed with a little rest and has the best protective effect on the liver.
5. Exercise protects the liver
Actively engaging in physical exercise is another effective way to protect the liver, because exercise can not only reduce overweight, prevent obesity and eliminate the harm of excessive fat to the liver, but also promote gas exchange, speed up blood circulation and ensure the liver to get more oxygen and nutrition.
From the point of view of protecting the liver, first, we must choose a good sports ground with a wide field, a wide field of vision and fresh air. Second, we should choose good exercise programs, such as jogging, brisk walking (about 1 10~ 120 steps per minute), cycling, climbing stairs, playing badminton, kicking shuttlecock, patting the ball, dancing, skipping rope and swimming.
