High work pressure, irregular life, greasy diet and uncontrolled smoking and drinking all make the liver very injured. Lack of liver blood, stagnation of liver qi, hyperactivity of liver fire, hyperactivity of liver yang, and a lot of liver problems unwittingly entangle the body.
For modern office workers, staying up late and working overtime, smoking and drinking... bad living habits have always made the liver suffer. Therefore, in our daily life, we should learn some knowledge of liver maintenance to restore liver health.
Take care of your eyes
I'm afraid that the most harmful thing for office workers is their eyes. I have been staring at the computer since I went to work in the morning. I am too sour to leave my seat; In a dry air-conditioned room, the radiation damage of the computer may also be added to contact lenses, making the eyes dry and astringent, sometimes sour, and even unable to see clearly.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, eyes are closely related to liver. The health of the eyes depends on the liver. Only when the liver is full of blood can the eyes be nourished. Excessive use of the eyes will consume liver blood. If the liver blood is consumed too much, the liver will have to keep working and produce liver blood. Over time, the health of the liver will be threatened. Therefore, office workers should first know how to protect their eyes.
So, what should we do to nourish the liver and protect the eyes?
Do eye exercises often. Work in front of the computer for 20-30 minutes, do eye exercises and relax. Or cover your eyes lightly with both hands, close your eyes quietly for 30 seconds, open your eyes and blink several times. Do it three to five times a day to relax your eyes.
Tears can also detoxify. Compared with men who don't cry, women live longer, which has nothing to do with tears. Chinese medicine believes that like sweat and urine, tears can also detoxify, because there are some biochemical toxins harmful to the body in tears. Therefore, don't hold back when you feel aggrieved. It's good for your health to cry out in pain.
Today's office workers, especially those with cars and those who have been in the office for a long time, sit on their seats for a whole day from work, and I'm afraid that only when they go to the bathroom or make coffee will they slightly exercise their muscles and bones.
For office workers, taking a certain amount of time every day for exercise is an effective way to maintain the liver. Exercise will consume some calories to prevent obesity. The more intense you exercise, the more calories you burn, and the easier it is to control your weight.
Proper exercise can also eliminate the harm of fat to the liver, promote the exchange of qi and blood, accelerate blood circulation, and ensure that the liver gets more oxygen and nutrients. After a busy day, taking a leisurely walk can calm yourself down, and even reduce the pressure and anxiety on the body, thus reducing the burden on the liver.
Take the initiative to find time to rest
Take regular breaks every day, regulate work and rest, and develop good living habits, which are really beneficial to the liver. Because rest can reduce physical consumption, reduce glycogen, protein decomposition and lactic acid production, and reduce the burden on the liver.
We know that the time of detoxification of the liver is from 11pm to 3am. Usually, the liver meridian is the most vigorous. If you can enter a deep sleep at this time, blood can flow into the liver smoothly, and the normal work of the liver can be guaranteed. The liver is weakest from 1:00 to 5:00 every afternoon, so it is better for office workers to schedule their hard work in the morning, and take the initiative to find time to rest in the afternoon. It is better to have a rest of 5 minutes every hour of work, which can reduce liver loss, and will also be beneficial to health.
Wait until the body feels tired before taking a rest. This passive rest will also have a bad effect on the liver. At this time, the metabolic waste on the body has accumulated too much, and the waste that needs to be metabolized by the liver has also accumulated too much, and the burden of the liver has virtually increased a lot.
