24-Hour Liver Detoxification Strategy

7:00-8:00 Cleanse the liver: use less cosmetics

The first thing you do when you wake up in the morning is to cleanse your liver, and improper use of cosmetics can cause great harm to your liver. The ingredients of cosmetics are absorbed through the skin and enter the liver through the blood circulation for decomposition. Toxic substances accumulate in the liver more and more, and the liver is overloaded, which will cause drug-induced hepatitis in the user, or weaken the body's resistance and put the user in a sub-healthy state.

8:00-9:00 Have a cup of soy milk for breakfast

Soybeans and soy products are rich in protein, calcium, iron, phosphorus, vitamin B, moderate amounts of fat and a small amount of carbohydrates, which are very beneficial for liver repair. So, why not add a cup of delicious soy milk to your breakfast!

9:00-12:00 Reduce the burden on the liver: eat less snacks

Many girls like to eat snacks. They not only eat them at home, but also make some space in the drawers of the office to store potato chips, candies, and biscuits. .But in fact, snacks not only make you consume more calories, but also damage your liver. Excessive calorie intake will disrupt normal metabolism, not only making your liver more tired, but also providing a material basis for the occurrence of fatty liver. So let's clean up the snacks. Wouldn't it be better to replace them with yogurt or fruit? In addition, excessive intake of fried foods and caffeine can also irritate liver cells, increase the burden on the liver, and aggravate damage to the liver.

12:00-13:00 Give your eyes a rest

After working on the computer all morning, your eyes must be tired and dry. During lunch break, don’t browse the web or watch videos on the computer! According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, “The liver opens up to the eyes”, so if you want to protect your liver, you must first start by taking care of your eyes, because excessive eye fatigue will also affect the liver. Therefore, during your lunch break, give your eyes a rest by doing some eye exercises or going to the balcony to enjoy the scenery, which can protect your eyes and nourish your liver.

13:00-15:00 Drink plenty of water

Drinking more water can replenish body fluids, enhance blood circulation, and promote metabolism. Drinking more water can also promote the secretion of glands, especially digestive glands, pancreatic juice, and bile, to facilitate digestion, absorption and waste elimination, and reduce damage to the liver by metabolic products and toxins. Adults need to consume 2000 to 2500 ml of water every day, but most busy sisters generally do not drink enough water every day. Drinking less water will make it difficult for the liver to detoxify, because only by ensuring adequate water supply can the liver work normally and decompose and metabolize various toxic substances.

15:00-16:00 Look at the lawn outside the window

After working for a while, don't forget to stand up and look at the green lawn outside the window. The internal organs also have their favorite colors, and our liver’s favorite is green. Looking at the green of nature more often can indirectly promote the metabolic function of the liver and achieve twice the result with half the effort in detoxifying the liver. Putting a small pot of green plants on your desk can have the same effect! At the same time, you should also eat more green foods, because Chinese medicine says that "green enters the liver meridian", which can nourish and protect the liver.

16:00-18:00 Get up and walk around

Life lies in movement. In 24 hours, exercise is the most closely related to liver detoxification. It can consume excess fat in the body, especially fat in the liver. Once obesity is reduced, the fat in the liver will also disappear, and liver function will return to normal without the need for drug treatment. Exercise can make you sweat, and sweating is also a way to detoxify. If you are sitting in an office, you don’t have the opportunity to exercise outdoors, but you can leave your seat and get up and walk around.

18:00-20:00 Don’t sit down right after eating

Sit quietly for 10 to 30 minutes after dinner before doing other things. This is very important for the maintenance of our liver. When the body moves from lying down to standing up, the blood flow to the liver will decrease by 30%. If you exercise again, the blood flow to the liver will decrease to more than 50%. If the liver is not supplied with enough blood, its normal metabolic activities will be affected.

20:00-22:00 Let go of stress and enjoy a good night

After a busy day at work, don't let work matters and stress ruin your experience of this wonderful evening. Taking good care of yourself and letting go of distracting thoughts is also a way to protect your liver. Optimism makes people healthy. Because the liver likes relaxation and hates depression, anger can easily lead to stagnation of qi and blood in the liver and cause illness. If you want to have a strong liver, you must first learn to control your anger. Even if you are angry, do not last more than 3 minutes. We should try our best to remain calm, optimistic, cheerful and worry-free, so as to extinguish the liver fire and allow the liver qi to develop normally and smoothly.

22:00-23:00 It’s time to get ready for bed

The best time for your liver to detox is when you are asleep. According to TCM theory, the liver meridian is active from 11pm to 3am every day, and this is when the liver's detoxification work is most intense. So, stop lingering in front of your phone or computer, take a good bath, get ready for a good night's sleep, and allow your liver to fully detoxify. Have a good night's sleep, and your 24-hour liver protection will be a success!
