According to experts, when your body has problems, the liver is sick or overloaded with toxins, warning signs will appear on your nails. Here are 3 signs and ways to prevent the disease.
When the body has liver problems, they can have warning signs in different signs. For example, people with hepatitis will have signs of jaundice or changes in facial color.
Besides, fingernails are also connected to the liver, they can be a “mirror” reflecting the health of the liver. Experts also call fingernails the weather meter of the liver, or there is a saying “the good or bad liver lies in the fingernails”.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, fingernails can reflect the health of the liver. If the following signs appear on your fingernails, or they change differently from before, different from other people, then you should review your liver health.
1. Nails with raised vertical lines
If the nail has a vertical line that rises or naturally sinks in a straight line, it can be a warning sign that the liver is accumulating toxins or that the liver’s metabolism is having problems and is not functioning properly.
Because the liver governs the tendons (the liver organ connects to the tendons, belongs to the tendons), so when the liver is not working effectively, the nails will have a very clear warning signal.
2. White horizontal stripes on nails
This can be an early warning sign of early liver disease. If liver disease progresses to cirrhosis, the nails will turn severely white, without a crescent-shaped white ring at the base of the nail.
The nails not only become pale white, without any sign of blood color, but also hard and rough like glass or ice.
3. Brown Lines on Nails
When a brown streak appears on the nail suddenly (without any impact or injury), it can be a warning sign of hepatitis.
Hepatitis damages liver cells, leading to an increase in brown pigment in liver cells, with fat cells also increasing simultaneously at different levels, causing the nails to have brown raised lines. Brown color is a manifestation of damaged liver cells.
3 taboos when taking care of your liver, don’t commit them
1. Avoid depression and anxiety
Psychology has a certain impact on liver health. Oriental medicine believes that “anger damages the liver”, and a bad attitude has a negative impact on liver function. A happy attitude can help the liver function smoothly and smoothly.
When you are angry, the gas in the liver will easily cause blood to accumulate, causing liver congestion, easily causing disease. A happy and optimistic mood is the best way to help the liver excrete and eliminate toxins easily.
2. Avoid being lazy and sitting still
In spring, people easily feel sleep deprived and tired, and also feel lazy and reluctant to exercise. The most taboo thing in the process of liver care is laziness and lack of exercise.
If you want a healthy liver, you should exercise regularly, choose suitable sports based on your age, and practice diligently every day, such as tai chi and walking.
Increased exercise has the effect of enhancing resistance, improving immunity, and can have a great effect in nourishing the liver.
3. Avoid over-nutrition
Spring is the time of yang, so all things grow and flourish, yang energy is abundant in all circumstances. However, during this time, you should pay attention to taking care of your health properly. Because the liver is inherently hot, if you continue to nourish it excessively, it is easy to damage your health, which is not good for the overall functioning of the body.
To take care of your liver in the spring, it is best to choose to eat some simple porridge dishes, such as cassia seed porridge, mulberry porridge… which are herbal dishes that are good for the liver. Porridge dishes will also give people with hepatitis a feeling of appetite and stimulate digestion.
