When is the time for each organ to detoxify?

When I was in college, many of my classmates liked to stay up late, but few people knew that staying up late is actually very harmful to the body. Most organs in the body have a detoxification time at night. If you don’t rest during this period, it will cause great damage to the body. If this continues for a long time, the consequences will be disastrous. The detoxification time is something that many people don’t know. Today I will take you to understand the detoxification time of various organs in the body.

1. Liver detoxification

1. Eat green foods: According to the Five Elements Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, green foods can promote the flow of liver qi, and have a good effect in soothing the liver, relieving depression, and alleviating emotions. They are foods that help the liver detoxify. Chinese medicine experts recommend green oranges or lemons, which can be made into green orange juice or green lemon water with the skin on and drunk directly.

2. Lycium barbarum improves liver tolerance: In addition to detoxification, the liver's ability to resist toxins should also be improved. The first food to recommend is wolfberry, which has a good effect in protecting the liver and can improve the liver's tolerance to toxins. It is best to chew it when eating, and eat a small handful every day.

3. Press the key point for liver detoxification: This refers to Taichong point, which is located in the depression before the junction of the first and second metatarsal bones on the dorsum of the foot. Use your thumb to massage for 3 to 5 minutes until you feel a slight soreness. Do not use too much force and press alternately with your feet.

The best time for liver detoxification: 1-3 am is the duty time of the liver meridian. At this time, the human body needs to be in a deep sleep stage to provide a good environment for the liver. To this end, the best option is to know how to relax yourself and turn off the lights in the bedroom at 11 o'clock. In addition, tears, as excretory fluids, like sweat and urine, do contain some biochemical toxins that are harmful to the body. So, whenever you feel upset, wronged, or depressed, just cry. Treat yourself to touching movies regularly and cry as much as you can. This can also improve the liver's detoxification efficiency.

2. Lung detoxification

1. Radish is a detoxifying food for the lungs: In traditional Chinese medicine, the large intestine and the lungs have the closest relationship. The degree to which the lungs excrete toxins depends on whether the large intestine is unobstructed. Radish can help the large intestine excrete old feces. It can be eaten raw or mixed into a cold dish.

2. The lungs do not like dry air. In dry conditions, toxins are easily accumulated. Mushrooms and lilies have good lung-nourishing and yin-nourishing effects, helping the lungs fight toxins. When eating them, the processing time should not be too long, otherwise the juice in the lilies will be reduced and the anti-toxin effect will be greatly reduced.

3. Press the key acupoints for lung detoxification: The acupoint that is beneficial to the lungs is the Hegu point, which is located on the back of the hand, between the 1st and 2nd metacarpal bones, at the midpoint of the radial side of the 2nd metacarpal bone. You can pinch this area with your thumb and index finger and press hard.

4. Sweating and detoxification: The lungs control the skin, so sweating can take away toxins from the body and refresh the lungs. In addition to exercise, you can also take a hot bath and add some ginger and peppermint essential oil to the water before bathing to make sweat secretion more comfortable and expel toxins from deep inside the body.

The best time to detoxify the lungs: The lungs are strongest between 7 and 9 a.m., and it is best to detoxify through exercise at this time. Doing aerobic exercises such as jogging when the lungs are at their strongest can strengthen the lungs' ability to expel toxins.

3. Kidney detoxification

1. Kidney detoxification food - winter melon: Winter melon is rich in juice. After entering the human body, it will stimulate the kidneys to increase urine and excrete toxins from the body. When eating, you can use winter melon to make soup or stir-fry it, and try to make the taste lighter.
