Do not think you have to wait until the liver inflammation, liver clogging, and even jaundice, then to be called liver disease, in fact, many seem to have nothing to do with the liver of the small signs, after all, may be the early warning signs of liver disease! Chinese medicine doctor Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee said, if the body shape appear belly bulge, muscle collapse, shoulder pain and other features, may be a digestive system problems, over time, may affect the liver function, damage to the body, increasing the risk of disease.
The liver is known to be a “silent organ” and it is often only when the liver becomes inflamed, clogged or jaundiced that it dawns on the people who realize that the liver can be sick. In fact, Chinese medicine attaches great importance to the function of the liver, which is even called the hub of the human body in ancient books, and all nutrients must be metabolized by the liver, so its importance is evident.
The liver is considered a very complex and important organ in Chinese medicine. After all the nutrients from the human body reach the liver, they have to undergo a second chemical decomposition, in which the dirty stuff is excreted through bile secretion and the nutrients are further transported to other important organs throughout the body for use, achieving the functions of detoxification and nutrient fermentation. In addition to being an integral part of the digestive system, it is also close to the body’s central energy source. Because the liver processes the nutrients needed by the body, Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee emphasized that in order to talk about liver protection and liver care, we must not neglect the large intestine and small intestine, which are responsible for digesting food. If the nutrition from the intestine is not balanced enough, the liver will also have some obstacles, and even increase the burden on the liver.
The small intestine plays the role of absorbing nutrients, which belongs to the nutrient “nutrition Qi”, while the large intestine plays the role of protector, which belongs to the nutrient ” defense Qi”; the former travels in the blood, and the latter travels outside the blood vessels; the defense Qi of the large intestine is like a protective force outside, which is flexible, resistant to beating and crashing energy.
In Chinese medicine, the liver is called the hub, and liver yang comes from the heat of the large intestine, liver yin comes from the nutrition of the small intestine, yin and yang converge in the liver, in order to burn nutrients and maintain the body’s kinetic energy, on the contrary, once the Qi from the large intestine is insufficient, the external temperature can not immediately feel the response, can not connect with the brain, skin, immediately and timely adjustment, so that the nutrients accumulate in the liver, forming a negative impact. Insufficient Qi from the large intestine, the body shape will be the first to change, including the belly is not firm, loose muscles, and even shoulder blade pain from time to time, are all symptoms of the large intestine, liver Yang deficiency.
Many people think that the health of the liver can be grasped by checking the liver function index, in fact, it is not, Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee pointed out that these indices often have to wait until the disease is serious to a certain extent, in order to see the signs, and liver Yang deficiency, but will not necessarily wait until the liver function index check out the problem, liver Yang is sufficient, the skin will be bright, clear and reddish, the people usually say “red face” is not good, it is the signs of liver Yang decline. This is a sign of the decline of liver yang. In particular, liver yang is insufficient, there is no enough Qi to protect the blood vessels, sometimes a small collision will easily bleed, fractures, and weakened resistance to the outside world.
Fatty liver and cirrhosis are related to the imbalance of yin and yang of the liver, so to protect the liver, we must first protect the large intestine, so that the nutrients of the liver can burn and vaporize, and the body will not be alienated, which naturally reduces the chance of allergies, easy to catch a cold, lack of resistance, and even liver disease and cancer.
A healthy liver gives you the energy you need to live life to the fullest!
