五大傷肝行為
你有保護好你的肝嗎？中醫理論中的肝，除了是指肝臟器官外，還包括腦及神經系統，因為中醫裡的肝主要負責藏血及疏泄，疏泄是指氣、血、水在身體中的疏通調節功能，而情緒、飲食、睡眠都會影響疏泄功能。現代人生活時間顛倒、壓力大、飲食放縱，傷害肝臟而不自知，以下五大傷肝行為非常普遍，你也有份嗎？

一、熬夜 / 睡眠不足
《黃帝內經》曾提到：「人臥則血歸於肝。」人在睡覺時大量血液集中到肝臟，由肝來濾化血液，所以有充足睡眠才能使身體順利排毒，亦能讓肝臟功能慢慢恢復。如果子時(11pm-1am)還不入睡便屬於熬夜，又或者輪更工作使日夜顛倒，肝不能順利工作，容易造成肝火旺盛、肝陽上亢導致身體不適。

二、情緒起伏不定
中醫理論認為「怒傷肝」，因為肝喜調達而惡抑鬱，當人壓力大，出現緊張、焦慮或憤怒情緒，就會造成肝鬱氣滯的情況；如果憤怒傷肝，就會導致血隨氣上湧，出現吐血或昏厥等情況。

三、飲食不節
辛辣、油膩、加工食物等都會加重肝臟的負擔，此類食物亦容易令人上火，耗損身體內的津液，令身體失於濡潤。

四、吸煙飲酒
吸煙除了有損肺部，煙草中的有害物質亦需要肝臟分解然後排出體外，所以吸煙會增加肝臟的負擔。酒含有酒精，需要經過肝臟代謝，加重肝臟負荷之餘，亦容易令肝臟細胞受損。

五、胡亂進補
不配合體質、過於溫補的食物，容易令身體產生熱氣、肝火上升，如果本身屬於濕熱體質，再胡亂進食藥膳火鍋、人參雞、羊腩煲等，就等於火上加油，造成肝臟負擔。

5 behaviours that hurt the liver
Do you take care of your liver? In the theory of Chinese medicine, the liver includes not only liver organs, but also the brain and nervous system as the main functions of the liver are to hold blood and vent, referring to the function of qi, blood and fluid flow regulation. Mood, diet, and sleep all affect the function of relief. Modern people tend to reverse day and night, have high stress, poor eating habits and harm the liver without knowing it. The following five behaviours that hurt the liver are very common. Have you been hurting your liver?

1. Staying up late / not sleeping enough
When you are sleeping, a lot of blood is concentrated in the liver, and the liver filters the blood. Therefore, adequate sleep can help the body detox smoothly, and the liver function can be slowly restored. Staying up late refers to not sleeping by 11pm to 1am, or when work shifts reverse day and night. The liver cannot work smoothly, and may cause the liver heat and hyperactivity in the liver yang leading to physical discomfort.

2. Mood swings
The theory of Chinese medicine believes that “anger hurts the liver”, because the liver does not tolerate depression. When the pressure is high, there is tension, anxiety or anger, which can cause liver depression and qi stagnation. When anger hurts the liver, it will cause blood to rise with qi and may cause vomiting of blood and dizziness.

3. Poor eating habit
Spicy, greasy, processed foods will increase the burden on the liver, and potentially lead to fire in the body which consumes fluid in the body.

4. Smoking and drinking
Smoking not only damages the lungs, the harmful substances in tobacco also require the liver to decompose the substance to dispel from the body. This is how smoking increases the burden on the liver. Alcohol needs to be metabolized by the liver. In addition to increasing the burden on the liver, it can also damage liver cells.

5. Eating tonic food that are not suitable for your body condition
Foods that do not fit the body condition and are too replenishing will lead to fire in the body and raise the liver heat. If you have a damp heat body condition, herbal hot pot, ginseng chicken, lamb brisket pot, etc would actually add heat into the body and increase the burden on the liver.
