II. Oranges Can Detoxify and Protect the Liver
Oranges have a sweet and sour taste with a delightful fragrance. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, oranges are believed to expel pathogenic winds and calm hysteria. The vitamins in oranges, particularly Vitamin E and Vitamin C, are significantly beneficial for maintaining liver cells, preventing constipation, and boosting the immunity of cirrhosis patients. They also have pronounced effects in detoxification, strengthening the stomach, and fortifying the spleen. Furthermore, to "unlock" the benefits of oranges for cirrhosis, avoid removing too much of the "pith"—the white, string-like substance next to the flesh. Eating it all together yields better results.
In addition to using diet to prevent cirrhosis, managing work-related stress and getting adequate sleep are crucial for preventing cirrhosis and maintaining liver health. Office workers often work long overtime hours, placing a significant burden on their livers and greatly increasing their risk of disease. Therefore, they should pay special attention to liver care and protection.
