Three Precautions for Liver Protection in Spring
Xinhua News Agency, Kunming, March 17 (Reporter Li Qian) Spring is a period when hepatitis viruses are active, and it is also a crucial time for liver protection. Health experts have issued three reminders on this matter.
Xiong Shijie, a health education expert in Yunnan Province, said, first, pay attention to maintaining a pleasant mood. As the saying goes, "don't let your liver fire flare up," because when people are angry, their breathing becomes rapid, blood clots faster than usual, and their heart rate increases, which加重 the burden on the liver. Patients with liver disease, in particular, should maintain an optimistic mood.
Second, pay attention to a balanced diet. The diet for liver patients should be rich, light, and nutritious. They can eat more protein-rich foods, such as milk, poultry eggs, and fish, which can help the growth and repair of damaged liver cells. At the same time, they should also eat more vegetables and fruits to ensure a balanced diet. Daily meals should be reasonably combined, with smaller portions and more frequent meals.
Third, pay attention to a balance of activity and rest. On the one hand, patients should follow a regular daily routine and not neglect rest due to busyness or entertainment. Sleep time should be guaranteed for at least 8 hours, and it is advisable to rest for an hour after lunch whenever possible, as these can promote the recovery of liver function. On the other hand, they should engage in moderate exercise, such as walking, jogging, dancing, and practicing Tai Chi, which are all good choices.
