How can women protect their liver?

It is very important to maintain your health during the turn of spring and autumn. The best thing to do during this period is to nourish and protect the liver. Female friends should pay more attention to this issue because their bodies are much weaker than those of male friends. Naturally, they should nourish their bodies, especially their livers. The liver not only detoxifies the whole body, but also plays a role in hematopoiesis. If there is a problem with the liver, our body will suffer from anemia.

To nourish the liver in spring, we must first pay attention to regulating our emotions and avoiding stagnation of liver qi. Human emotions and the liver are mutually restrained and influence each other. Whether for the purpose of health preservation or for other reasons, in daily life, we should maintain an optimistic and cheerful attitude and avoid extreme joy or sorrow. This is conducive to the smooth regulation of liver qi, which not only makes you feel good, but also maintains the balance and health of the body. Female friends who know how to take care of themselves know that in order to stay healthy and youthful, they must learn to regulate their emotions and relieve stress. When you are under a lot of pressure, you can go to nature to relax, go to a place with mountains and water, and the depression will be easily relieved. Or you can find friends you can talk to, have fun, and relax to express your depressed emotions.

Nourishing the liver in spring also requires a lot of attention to diet. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver qi is stronger in spring, so sour foods can enhance the function of the liver, making the already strong liver qi even stronger. However, a strong liver will damage the function of the spleen. Therefore, you should eat less acidic foods in spring; and sweet foods can nourish the spleen. You can eat more spleen-nourishing foods such as jujube and yam to replenish qi and blood and relieve muscle tension. Therefore, in spring, you should eat more sweet and less sour food to help strengthen the liver and spleen.

According to Chinese medicine, people should focus on different aspects of health care in different seasons of the year. Just like the natural world, the human body has a cycle of spring growth, summer growth, autumn harvest and winter hibernation. Therefore, people should nourish yang in spring and summer and nourish yin in autumn and winter.

Especially in traditional Chinese medicine theory, the five internal organs of the human body correspond to the four seasons. Among the four seasons, spring belongs to wood; and among the five internal organs of the human body, the liver is also of wood nature; therefore, spring air flows through the liver, making the liver strong in spring.

Therefore, in the eyes of traditional Chinese medicine, it is very important to nourish and protect the liver. The most important thing when regulating your liver is to control your emotions. Don't always be extremely happy or sad. This is not conducive to using diet therapy to maintain your health. You need to develop a better emotional state and don't lose your temper easily. The most important thing is not to hold your temper, otherwise it will damage your liver even more.
