In a district in Beijing, Zhao Miao, a bank clerk, attended a health lecture organized by a community organization.
The theme of the lecture was "Health by Looking", and the speaker was an expert from a local tertiary hospital.
Ms. Zhao has been troubled by people saying that she "doesn't look good," but she has never linked it to health issues.
Experts point out that changes in the face are often an external reflection of visceral problems.
In the audience, Zhao Miao involuntarily touched her cheek. After the lecture, she decided to go to the hospital for a full check-up.
At the hospital, Zhao Miao's doctor, Su Bo, is a young and talented internist.
After the examination, Su Bo told Zhao Miao that her dull face might be related to poor liver function. Zhao Miao was shocked because she had always thought she was healthy.
Subo explained that the liver is our body's "chemical factory" and its health directly affects the disposal of toxins and waste products in the blood.
If liver function declines, these toxins can accumulate in the body, affecting skin tone.
What's even more interesting is that Subo makes an uncommon point: that emotional management is essential for liver health.
In traditional Chinese medicine, the liver is closely linked to emotional regulation, especially anger and stress.
Su Bo advised Zhao Miao to pay attention to her emotional management, especially in dealing with stress at work.
He mentions that long-term mood swings, especially suppressed anger or prolonged sadness, may indirectly affect the function of the liver.
Zhao Miao recalled that her work environment was indeed quite stressful and moody from time to time.
Rather than simply advising her to "control her diet" or "exercise in moderation" like other doctors do, Subo made a more in-depth suggestion: do mood management and relaxation training.
He recommends that Zhao Miao try some non-traditional methods to manage stress, such as travel, meditation and even art therapy.
Su Bo explained that these methods can not only help Zhao Miao relax and relax, but also indirectly improve the health of her liver.
Zhao Miao decided to accept these suggestions.
After a few months, she noticed that not only was she more emotionally stable, but her complexion had also improved significantly. She has come to believe that physical health goes hand in hand with mental and emotional balance.
Dr. Subo introduced her to a few things about liver health that she didn't realize before.
Subo mentions that the liver is responsible for more than 500 vital activities.
The liver's primary responsibilities include detoxification, protein synthesis, the breakdown of chemicals, and assisting with digestion.
Subo then points out that discomfort in the liver is usually not noticeable because it is an organ that does not have pain nerves.
That's why many liver diseases are often overlooked in their early stages. He stresses that changes in the face are sometimes the first visible sign of liver problems.
Zhao Miao once thought that her dull face was just the result of fatigue or lack of sleep.
Subo also mentioned the relationship between the liver and drug metabolism. The liver plays a vital role in the process of drug metabolism.
When we take a drug, the liver is responsible for converting the drug into a form that the body can use or excrete. Therefore, a healthy liver is essential for the effectiveness and safety of the drug.
