The liver is the largest detoxification and metabolic organ in the human body, and it is also the "commander" of the body's metabolism. It can be said that the function of the liver organ is very powerful, but even so, it is still very susceptible to damage. From a medical point of view, if the liver is damaged, it is easy to cause a series of diseases, which endanger human health. Therefore, we must pay attention to taking care of the liver in our daily life, because only when the liver is healthy, the body will be healthy.

In daily life, there are 3 behaviors that are very hurtful to the liver, you may wish to check yourself, if you often do these behaviors, it is best to correct them as soon as possible.

1. Stay up late often

Nowadays, staying up late to play mobile phones and chasing dramas has become the norm for many young people, but we must know that the early hours of the morning are the time when the human body's meridians run to the liver and gallbladder, and if you do not fall asleep at this time, it will pose a certain threat to liver health. For friends who stay up late for a long time, it may lead to a decline in liver function, which is very detrimental to maintaining liver health.

2. Excessive use of the eyes

I believe that many people have heard the saying that "long-term vision hurts the liver", this is because from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the liver "hides blood" and "subjects". If you use your eyes for a long time in your daily life, your eyes will feel dry and sore. At the same time, excessive eye use will also increase the burden on the liver, resulting in a large amount of liver blood being consumed. Therefore, we must pay attention to controlling the time of using our eyes on weekdays, and when you feel that your eyes are more sour, it is best to close your eyes for a while.

3. Skip breakfast

Many people know that skipping breakfast is bad for the stomach, but in fact, skipping breakfast not only harms the stomach, but also harms the health of the liver. For friends who skip breakfast for a long time, it may cause a decrease in blood sugar levels in the body, at which point the body will call on the liver sugar stored in the liver, in this case, it will increase the pressure on the liver. In addition, skipping breakfast for a long time can also easily lead to bile reflux, which can lead to the formation of gallstones over time. The liver and gallbladder are inextricably linked, and if there is a problem with the gallbladder, the liver may also be implicated.

I believe that many people have realized the importance of the liver to maintain good health, so how should we take care of the liver in our daily life? In fact, in addition to correcting the above bad habits, we can also drink some tea to nourish the liver in moderation. Here it is recommended that you usually use cassia, chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, burdock root, wolfberry and other herbs to make tea and drink.

Among these herbs, cassia is a long-standing but commonly used ingredient, which has the effect of clearing the liver and gallbladder and dredging liver qi; Chrysanthemum can detoxify, reduce fire, moisten the intestines and laxative, thereby reducing the work burden of the liver; Burdock root, on the other hand, can dispel wind and heat and inhibit liver fire.
