The most ideal methods for liver maintenance in daily life are: reducing the burden on the liver, increasing liver nutrition, and using traditional Chinese medicine to protect the liver. Diet therapy is the most important aspect of daily health care.
1. Protein
Foods that are high in protein and low in calories are the liver's favorite, such as eggs, tofu, milk, sesame seeds, fish, and chicken. The abundant protein in these foods acts as a "repair worker" for the liver, repairing liver cells and promoting liver cell regeneration.
2. Goji Berries
Goji berries are a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine with the functions of nourishing the liver and kidneys, improving blood circulation, and anti-aging. Modern medical research has found that goji berries also have a protective effect on the liver and can prevent and treat fatty liver. Goji berries contain an effective ingredient called betaine, which can inhibit the deposition of fat in liver cells and promote liver cell regeneration.
3. Jujube
The nutrients in jujube can participate in liver protection and inhibition of hepatitis virus activity, as well as prevent the formation of gallstones. Experiments have shown that drinking jujube water for one week can increase serum protein in people with poor liver function, thereby achieving the effect of liver protection and detoxification.
4. Pumpkin
Pumpkin has a great effect on nourishing the liver and improving eyesight. It is rich in dietary fiber, vitamin A, and retinol, which are beneficial for liver protection and eye care, as well as intestinal lubrication and weight loss. The best way to eat pumpkin, as advised by experts, is to make porridge. Not only will the nutrients not be lost, but eating pumpkin together with the porridge is also extremely beneficial for the body due to its high fiber content.
5. Royal Jelly
Royal jelly is a super nutrient product recognized worldwide as the only highly active ingredient that can be directly consumed by humans. In addition to providing comprehensive nutrition for the body, royal jelly also has a good effect on liver and kidney protection, as well as prevention and treatment of various liver and kidney diseases.
6. Vinegar
The "Compendium of Materia Medica" states that vinegar can "dispel stagnant blood, treat jaundice, and nourish the liver". Traditional Chinese medicine believes that sour foods can enter the liver and have a repairing effect on the liver for people with liver damage. For example, for patients with hepatitis, vinegar can reduce transaminase levels and also has the function of stimulating appetite and invigorating the spleen. However, vinegar should be consumed in moderation. Once consumed in excess, it is not conducive to the regeneration and repair of liver cells.
