The foundation of health for computer users begins with "nourishing the liver".
"Prolonged eye strain injures the liver, and prolonged sitting injures the bones." Computer users sit for long hours in front of a screen, their eyes fixed on the display. Over time, this can lead to dizziness and headaches. If liver qi is not flowing smoothly, the body's qi and blood circulation will become disordered, leading to diseases such as high blood pressure and digestive system disorders. Women may also experience irregular menstruation. Therefore, for computer users, health cultivation must start with nourishing the "liver".
First, pay attention to dietary conditioning. Eat more warming and yang-nourishing foods like chives. Regular consumption of chives can strengthen the spleen and stomach qi. In addition, green onions and garlic are also excellent for benefiting and nourishing the liver and yang. Jujubes are neutral in nature and sweet in taste, nourishing the liver and strengthening the spleen. You can also eat some buckwheat, shepherds purse, spinach, celery, chrysanthemum greens, lettuce, eggplant, water chestnuts, cucumbers, and mushrooms. These foods are all cooling in nature and sweet in taste, and can moisten the liver and brighten the eyes. Taking supplements like tremella fungus at the right time can moisten the lungs, produce body fluids, and nourish yin to benefit the liver. At the same time, eat less sour foods and more sweet foods to nourish both the liver and spleen, which is greatly beneficial for disease prevention and health preservation. Below, two more liver-nourishing porridges are introduced, which computer users are welcome to try.
Goji Berry Porridge: 30 grams of goji berries, 60 grams of rice. First, cook the rice until it is half-done, then add the goji berries and cook until done. This porridge is suitable for those who often experience dizziness, dry eyes, tinnitus, spermatorrhea, and soreness in the lower back and knees. For hepatitis patients, the goji berry porridge has the excellent effect of protecting the liver, supporting liver function, and promoting the regeneration of liver cells.
Pork Liver and Mung Bean Porridge: 100 grams of fresh pork liver, 60 grams of mung beans, 100 grams of rice, and an appropriate amount of salt and monosodium glutamate. First, wash the mung beans and rice and cook them together. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer slowly. When the porridge is about 80% cooked, add the sliced or strip-cut pork liver to the pot and cook until done. Then, add seasonings. This porridge nourishes the liver and blood, clears heat and brightens the eyes, and beautifies the skin and complexion. It can make one's complexion radiant and is especially suitable for those who are weak, with a sallow complexion, diminished vision, or blurred vision.
