What measures can be taken to protect the liver?

1. Maintain a normal weight

The fat in the liver will decrease along with the body fat. It is recommended to do moderate intensity aerobic exercise for about 30 minutes 5 times a week. You also need to eat a balanced diet according to your actual situation.

2. Stop drinking

Quitting drinking is currently the most effective measure to protect the liver. For patients with alcoholic fatty liver, the fat in the liver can be significantly improved about 10 days after quitting drinking.

3. Don’t take medicine randomly

Take medicines as directed by your doctor and avoid taking them together. For example, many cold medicines, including Chinese patent medicines, contain acetaminophen. If you take two or more cold medicines at the same time, the total amount of acetaminophen you ingest will exceed the standard without you realizing it.

4. Pay attention to your sleep time

The liver and gallbladder begin to metabolize at 11 pm. Falling asleep at this time can allow the liver to repair itself and minimize adverse effects. Sitting quietly for 10 to 30 minutes after a meal before exercising can ensure normal liver metabolism. Staying up late, playing games for a long time, playing mahjong continuously, etc. are all bad habits that damage the liver in daily life. To regulate the liver, you must keep a regular schedule and go to bed early and get up early.

5. Peace of mind

To keep your liver healthy, you must also learn to maintain a good mood, try your best to be calm, optimistic and cheerful, so that the liver qi can grow normally and smoothly.

To protect the liver is to protect life. Only by learning to protect the liver scientifically can we promote health and wellness.
