Thank you for the invitation. I am Dr. Wang Xiaoyan, a Chinese medicine practitioner.

Maintaining a normal liver is a prerequisite for our health. It is very important for the liver to be healthy before going to bed at night. There is a saying in the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine that "when one lies down, blood returns to the liver", and "lying down" means sleeping. Before going to bed, the body is in a relaxed state, at this time the burden on the liver is relatively light, the person's demand for blood is also reduced, so part of the blood can be stored in the liver, redo blood filtration, so before going to bed this time period, what can be done to protect our liver?

Stay quiet before bedtime and get into a restful state

Before going to bed, you should enter a quiet state of rest in advance, avoid strenuous exercise, too noisy environmentThis is the only way to ensure that the liver is properly detoxified and renewed and repaired during the rest of the night, which, although seemingly simple, is indeed more difficult to do in our society nowadays.

Keep sleeping on your side before going to bed, Chinese medicine believes that sleeping on your side is more conducive to nourishing the liver and building blood.. Because the liver meridian is distributed on both sides of the torso, sleeping on the side makes it easier for blood to return to the liver meridian, so that a person can fall asleep quietly and start the day's hematopoietic function. According to scientific analysis, sleeping on the right side not only protects the liver but also helps to nourish the heart and stomach.

Maintain the habit of going to bed by 11 p.m.There are a lot of people who have a bad liver because it has a lot to do with staying up late for a long time. The best time to nourish the liver is from 11:00 pm to 1:00 pm, so people with bad livers should keep going to bed before 11:00 pm to better repair the liver.

Foot bath before bedtime protects the liver

Every night around 8:00 pm is the most appropriate time to soak your feet to nourish the liver, soak your feet at this time, do a massage, can promote blood circulation, effectively nourish the liver, have a very good effect on the liver.

Drinking health tea before bed to protect the liver

I. Red datesThe red dates are able to maintain people's vitamin needs. Red dates can maintain people's vitamin needs, with water soaked red dates tea to drink is able to protect the liver. First of all, it is best to choose the dried jujubes produced in Xinjiang, the vitamin content of such jujubes is very high. Secondly, when brewing jujube water, cut the jujube in half, so as to more fully soak. But the red dates water can not be too much to drink, according to their own physical condition to drink in moderation.

2. Chinese wolfberry. The polysaccharides in goji berries are able to repair liver damage, while goji berries have the effect of brightening the eyes. As the liver does not get a good rest, it will make people's eyes dry and blurred vision. Drinking goji berries in water is a good way to repair liver damage and protect the eyes.

III. Cassia seeds.. Cassia seeds are also an ingredient for liver care. When brewing cassia seeds, you can add white chrysanthemum and honeysuckle, and boil water to brew instead of tea. This kind of liver tea is most suitable for people who work, especially those who often stay up late and work overtime, and who are on fire and heat. In addition to having the effect of reducing fire, it can also moisturize the intestines to improve constipation.

Avoid late-night snacks or over-fullness before bed

Eating too much at night on the spleen and stomach, while the liver is not only the body's important detoxification organs, or the body's digestive organs, phase to reduce the burden on the liver should start from these two aspects. First of all, to ensure that the diet is light, nutritious, easy to digest, eat less greasy, too hard, spicy food. Secondly, to ensure smooth excretion, the body's metabolism is mainly through the gastrointestinal tract of the decomposition, excretion to carry out, eat more fiber-containing foods, to maintain the body's excretion is very effective.

Avoid alcohol before bedtime

Drinking alcohol is a more serious injury to the liver, especially at night drinking will affect liver function, hurt the liver's purification ability, but also lead to more and more toxins in the body, long time to go on injury to the liver will become more and more serious. Drinking alcohol is easy to liver poisoning, this is because after the metabolism of alcohol through the liver will be broken down into a substance called acetaldehyde, this substance is very serious injury to the liver, and prolonged abuse of alcohol can easily lead to alcoholic fatty liver, serious will also lead to cirrhosis of the liver, so you must pay attention to the amount of alcohol.

In addition, the doctor reminds you that some people have a healthy liver, in order to make their liver function more powerful, use a variety of methods to supplement the liver to protect the liver. This kind of excessive pursuit of liver tonic method will destroy the balance of the body, inducing a variety of diseases, liver tonic need to grasp a certain degree, do not have to be hard to supplement the liver. In daily life, directly avoid the causes of liver damage, from the source of liver health.

The importance of the liver as the body's "detoxification" organ for human health is self-evident. It is widely recognized that to protect the liver is to protect your life. But what to do to protect the liver, I think many people are not very clear. Here for you to introduce some good habits before going to bed at night to help nourish the liver.

1, do not eat before going to bed, especially fried food. After 10:00 p.m. is the resting time of the human organs, if you eat during this time, it will disturb the normal operation of the liver and aggravate the burden of the liver. In addition, eating fried foods will cause saturated fatty acids and fat to accumulate in the liver, leading to fatty liver. And often eat these junk food before going to bed at night will also be cholesterol rise, will also damage the liver, this damage is no less than hepatitis to bring liver damage.

2, go to bed on time and don't stay up late. Now is the era of the popularization of smart phones, people spend a lot of time on the phone every day. It was the night to go to bed still holding the phone to shop Taobao, brush the circle of friends, stay up until one or two o'clock every day to go to bed, this behavior makes the liver miss the best rest time, in the long run will lead to eye dryness, astringency, mental fatigue, irritability and so on.

3, do not drink before going to bed. Many people think that drinking red wine before going to bed will help you sleep, is a kind of health method. In fact, this understanding there is a certain bias, whether it is red wine or other alcohol, they contain alcohol will cause different degrees of burden on the liver, especially for their own liver disease friends, remember not to drink before bed.

4, drink a small glass of warm water before going to bed helps to stimulate gastrointestinal motility, flushing the gastrointestinal tract and liver accumulated toxins, but also helps to prevent constipation.

Liver care requires us to start from the little things, develop good bedtime habits can help to protect the liver.

Finally, do not go to bed angry, yo, after all, the liver like smooth, if because of the anger caused by liver qi stagnation is not good.

I'm Dr. Yu Chunquan, who insists on popularizing medical knowledge for everyone, and it's not easy to code, so if you agree with me, please help me to pay attention or like me, and you can also forward it to your family or friends to watch this article, thank you!

I have a friend who often takes hepatoprotective tablets, but he still suffered from liver damage during his medical checkup, and he is only in his twenties. Of course, it is not because he took liver protection tablets that he suffered liver damage, but mainly because he often did things that were harmful to his liver, so to speak, what he was afraid of was what came to him. Want to offset their own liver through the liver tablets to the overdraft, that is so easy thing, so again those good for the liver before we should pay attention to is to avoid harm to the liver, as long as we do not cause harm to the liver, is already the best performance for the liver.

Let's start by talking about my friend with liver damage and see what he did. Check yourself out too!

喝酒

Often gatherings, drinking, his mantra is "a little drink is good", in fact, as long as you drink, we need our liver to help metabolize the ethanol into the body, ethanol metabolites not only have a direct effect on liver cells damage, but also can also lead to liver cells by the immune response to the attack. The good news is that our liver is very resilient, so even though we may be damaging it every day, it still relies on its self-healing ability to work strongly. If the blood alcohol concentration is too high in patients who have been drinking heavily for a long period of time, the blood vessels in the liver will constrict, blood flow and oxygen supply will be reduced, and oxygen consumption needs to be increased when we metabolize alcohol, resulting in hepatic microcirculation disorders and hypoxemia, which will lead to further deterioration of liver function.

熬夜

Karaoke, playing games, chasing dramas are his most common lifestyle. Chinese medicine said "people lie down blood to the liver", we sleep when the blood flow will become slow, there will be more blood flow exists in our liver, nourish the liver, at the same time to enable the liver to metabolize more harmful substances, if you stay up all night the liver can not get good nourishment. So it shows the dark yellow color, dark circles under the eyes, and also leads to hair loss, memory loss, etc. are common manifestations of the liver does not store blood.

irritable

Anger hurts the liver, my friend is a typical acute, encountered things that do not go well will lose their temper, because this temper is very easy to conflict with others. Especially when you stay up late to play the game, most of the night may still open the microphone scolding teammates.

These are the main reasons I think my friend's liver is damaged, of course I can't rule out whether he usually has other habits that can damage his liver, but the above three points are what I do feel, I don't know if you have been hit too?

What are those habits good for our liver?

1. Early to bed and early to rise is the most important thing for our liver.Early bedtime responds to our body's regulatory mechanism, or biological clock. It allows the liver to rest at the time it needs to rest.
2. Don't eat before you go to bed.The liver is involved in the metabolism of nutrients, and hormones, drugs conversion and detoxification, but also has the secretion of bile, storage glycogen, phagocytosis, defense, so the diet before going to bed affects whether or not our liver is able to rest normally after we go to sleep, it is best to stop eating two hours before going to bed, to be able to let us go to sleep after the liver can be a good rest.
3. Don't drink alcohol before going to bed.Some people because of the difficulty of falling asleep, may choose to drink before going to bed, can let us fall asleep quickly. This needs to be analyzed specifically, if it is not difficult to fall asleep, or can be through other ways to fall asleep, try not to drink to help sleep, or liver function is not good people do not drink alcohol.
4. Proper exercise after dinner and before bedtimeOn the one hand, proper exercise can make our whole body circulate smoothly, can make us healthy, reduce the occurrence of obesity, but also can help us sleep better, can have a good sleep is also helpful to nourish the liver. If you have gone too much during the day, you can choose to soak your feet in warm water before going to bed to eliminate fatigue, so that we can fall asleep faster and care for the liver.
5. Massage: Tai Chong PointThe acupoint on the foot syncopal liver meridian is located in the depression on the dorsum of the foot where the 1st and 2nd metatarsal bones meet;Period doors.It is directly below the nipple, at the 6th intercostal space. Massaging these two points is good for the liver.
6. Listen to calming music, or reading poems and phrases that calm the heart, writing, painting, etc. are good for our emotional regulation and calming the heart is also good for our liver.

Thank you for reading I hope my answer can be of some help to you, if you think it's not bad, please I point a like and then share it out, if you can also give me a concern, I think it must be the biggest support for me, thank you!

On the question of "before going to bed at night, which habits are good for the liver," the answer is a bit of a headache. Because the liver is not so many strange this way, that way, not hurt is to raise. If you have to say a few habits, you can only put together a few.

First, don't be too full at night and don't eat food that is not easy to digest.Eating too much or undigested food can easily lead to gastric distension, which affects sleep, and Chinese medicine says that "if the stomach is not in harmony, the sleep will be disturbed". Sleeping is very important for the liver, helping it to store blood and regulate liver qi. In fact, this point is not only important for the liver, but also for the health of the whole body is important.

Second, don't get angry at night, never get angry.In the evening, liver qi is hidden, and qi and blood flow back to the liver, so that the liver is nourished and blood is hidden. If you get angry at night, the liver qi will be dissipated; at the same time, the blood will not return to the liver, which will easily lead to the liver qi being inverted, and the detachment and egress of the liver being out of order.

Third, do not stay up late at night, it is best to go to bed before 11 o'clock.Zi time (23:00-1:00) is the time of gallbladder meridian circulation, ugly time (1:00-3:00) is the time of liver meridian circulation. Zi time is also a yin and yang transition, a yang born of the moment, if these two hours do not sleep, you miss the liver and gallbladder meridian circulation time, liver qi dissipation in the outside, in the long term, easy to lead to fatigue, tiredness, fatigue, do not bear the burden of gravity, easy to depressing feeling, or yang things do not work, and so on.

Fourth, dinner can be appropriate to eat more food that helps liver qi or liver yang latent, such as yam, lily, duck, turtle, etc., helps to nourish liver yin.This is the most recommendedterrapinIt is especially suitable for those who have a deficiency of yin and are prone to fire, dry mouth and heartburn. Turtle is good for nourishing liver yin and can be stewed.

Fifth, drink some liver tea at night, such as chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea, mulberry leaf chrysanthemum tea, xi huang cao tea and so on.But don't drink too much, especially not one hour before bedtime, or it will cause excessive nighttime urination and affect your sleep.

Six, at night before going to bed to soak feet, add some salt together, which helps submerge the yang into the yin and aids in sleep, do not add moxa or ginger.

In fact, as long as we form good habits, healthy work and rest, reasonable diet, moderate exercise and maintain an optimistic and positive mindset, it is very helpful to the health of the body, including the liver. So there is no need to be particular about which behavior or which habit is good for the liver, because basically there is no particular behavior.

There's another point that many people tend to overlookThat is, only the liver health, regardless of the other internal organs. And our body's internal organs they are mutually exclusive, and the five elements of the same, wood grams of earth, earth grams of water and so on. If we only care about the health of the liver, regardless of the health of the spleen and stomach or the health of other internal organs, may be due to the spleen deficiency and liver qi by the spleen leading to abdominal pain, diarrhea, diarrhea, etc.; due to the lung deficiency and wood and fire punishment of the gold leading to coughing, shortness of breath, chest tightness and so on.

In conclusion.We look at the health of the human body, it should be viewed as a whole, the five viscera and six bowels interact with each other to maintain a balance, the body will be naturally healthy. If we emphasize the liver and light it, the body is still prone to disease.

First of all I would like to say to say that really good for the liver, the action is not only limited to the night before going to bed, but throughout the day 24 hours should maintain good habits to take care of our liver!Let's get to know the liver: the liver is the largest organ in the human body's internal organs, mainly metabolic functions, involved in the metabolism of a variety of substances in the body, the production of bile needed for the digestive system, etc., it is also an important organ of detoxification in our body, involved in the body's immunity, detoxification, decomposition and excretion of other functions.

Ugly time (1-3 am) belongs to the ox, the ancients believe that the ox at this time to eat grass, the next day to have the strength to work, visible ugly time is the strength of the accumulation of the moment. This is also true for the body. Qi and blood flow into the liver meridian at the ugly hour, and liver blood needs to be pushed out at this time to eliminate waste blood and produce fresh blood, so this is also an important time for the liver to undergo repair. In order to cooperate with the work of the liver, one should be asleep at this moment.
