Chapter 74 Meditation for Half an Hour After Meals Can Protect the Liver

No matter how angry we are in life, we must not make life difficult for our stomachs.Once you get angry before a meal, you must let it go, and then finish the meal quietly, and don't be idle after the meal.Sit quietly for half an hour after meals to nourish the liver.A good woman is nourished with liver blood, without liver blood, a woman's health and beauty will be without rice.Therefore, female friends should nourish liver blood anytime and anywhere.Many female friends often tell me that they don't want to eat when they get angry.In fact, this situation is not because she doesn't want to eat, but because when people get angry, liver qi will stagnate.According to the five elements theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the liver belongs to wood, the spleen belongs to earth, and the liver wood restrains the spleen earth. When people are angry or depressed, there will be excessive liver qi or liver qi stagnation, and the liver will disperse all the qi it receives on the On the spleen and stomach.If the spleen and stomach are wronged, they will naturally not want to work, and people will definitely not want to eat.Therefore, no matter how angry we are in life, we must not make life difficult for our stomachs.

Once you get angry before a meal, you must let it go, and then finish the meal quietly, and don't be idle after the meal.Sit quietly for half an hour after meals to nourish the liver.The liver is an important organ for our body to make blood and use blood. The nutrients in the body are also transported to the liver through the intestines and veins with the help of blood.However, when we finish eating, the blood in the body is concentrated in the digestive tract to participate in food digestion activities. When the body changes from lying down to standing, the blood flow into the liver will decrease by 30%; if we go to exercise immediately, Part of the blood will flow to the limbs again, and the blood flow into the liver will be reduced by more than 50%.Once the liver is in a situation of insufficient blood supply, its normal metabolic activities will be affected, resulting in varying degrees of damage to the liver.Therefore, you should close your eyes and rest your mind for half an hour after a meal, so as to make the blood flow to the liver as much as possible to supply the liver cells with oxygen and nutrients.The most important thing is that after sitting quietly for half an hour, all the anger you had before meals disappeared in the process.If you stretch your waist after sitting in meditation, tap the Gallbladder Meridian and Liver Meridian, and do it in one go, your body will naturally be extremely relaxed!
