Is it only the eyes that are harmed by being addicted to mobile phones? No, all the internal organs are also harmed

In modern society, the use of electronic products is extremely common. If you stare at the electronic screen for a long time, in addition to the direct impact on your vision, it will also cause deeper harm. Traditional Chinese medicine says that "the liver opens up to the eyes", and the eyes are the external orifices of the liver. The eyes can see things clearly because of the nourishment of liver blood. "Lingshu Dahuo Lun" says: "The essence of the five internal organs and six bowels are all injected into the eyes and become the essence." Long-term excessive use of electronic screens will not only damage the eyes and liver, but also other internal organs, especially the liver, kidneys, heart, and spleen.

Symptoms of damage to the internal organs: Liver damage first manifests as emotional instability. Some people who usually have a good personality are prone to irritability and temper tantrums once they play with electronic products for a long time. These are all manifestations of liver depression after liver damage.

People who play games for a long time usually show mental fatigue, lack of concentration at work or study during the day, yawning, rubbing eyes, and dark circles under the eyes, which are all manifestations of kidney damage. In addition, it is easy to cause hair loss, premature graying of hair, forgetfulness, lumbar and cervical spine diseases, etc.

Staring at computers or mobile phones for a long time and receiving large amounts of information can easily stimulate the mind and cause the emotions to repeatedly tense and relax depending on the information received. Chinese medicine calls this exhaustion of the heart and mind, and symptoms such as insomnia, nightmares, and palpitations may occur.

Sitting for a long time hurts the flesh, and the spleen governs the muscles. Injury to the spleen can manifest as fatigue, laziness, loss of appetite, sallow complexion, etc. For children, it not only affects growth and development, but can even induce tics, depression and other problems.

How can we avoid and reduce the harm caused by electronic products? Here are three simple and easy ways to keep healthy.
