How can women protect their liver?

Many people know that drinking alcohol may damage the liver, especially for male friends who often go to social events, so people think that male friends need to nourish and protect the liver more, but this is not the case. Female friends also need to nourish the liver, because if the liver is not nourished, women will suffer from gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is very important for women to nourish the liver, and they also need to find better ways to nourish and protect the liver. It is best not to choose any methods that are harmful to women's bodies.

1. Regularly “unload” every morning

Many women suffer from constipation, which must be resolved as soon as possible. Because if the stool stays in the large intestine, it will produce harmful substances such as ammonia. Detoxifying ammonia is also the liver's job. Once liver function declines, ammonia that cannot be completely detoxified may circulate throughout the body and even the brain, causing disease. Usually, make sure your diet contains more dietary fiber and increase your exercise to solve problems such as constipation.

2. Lie down after eating, don’t rush to exercise

Don’t rush to exercise right after a meal! At this time, the liver is busy metabolizing nutrients. At this time, lying down can increase the blood flow to the liver and promote the liver's metabolic function. If the blood flow in supine position is set to 100, it is 70 when standing upright, and decreases to 50 when walking. The effect will be better if you use a cushion to raise your legs.

3. Take a warm bath for a longer time

Bathing not only speeds up skin metabolism, but also helps regulate liver function to normalize. However, if you just rinse your body hastily, only the blood circulation on the skin surface will be accelerated, while the blood flow to the internal organs will be reduced, which will have the opposite effect. If you change to a long warm water shower or half bath, the blood flow to the liver will increase, and liver function will be improved!

4. Learn to relieve stress

Once you feel mental stress, the adrenaline in your blood will increase, and the blood flow to the liver will decrease, affecting the liver's metabolic capacity. On the contrary, if the body and mind are relaxed, the parasympathetic nervous system will take over and blood flow to the liver will increase. It is recommended that office ladies who are under too much pressure can try to relieve stress through yoga, bathing, using essential oils or drinking herbal tea.

We already have an understanding of how women can nourish and protect the liver. In fact, in daily liver care, we should try our best to start from both physical and psychological aspects. Because when you feel particularly stressed, your liver will be severely damaged, which will directly affect your body's internal metabolism. Therefore, you should try to use yoga and foot soaking methods to maintain your liver.
