If the sleep quality is poor only occasionally, it is not a big problem, but if it is in a state of poor sleep quality for a long time, it will not only affect the psychological and mental state, but also reduce the immune ability and the body's ability to resist external stimuli, thus causing various diseases.
Why do some people often wake up naturally at 1-3 in the morning?
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, 65438+ 0-3 am is the time when all qi and blood flow through the liver. If the blood vessels or tissues around the liver are diseased or blocked, it will lead to poor blood circulation and wake up in the middle of the night.
The blockage of meridians and blood vessels around the liver will not only affect the quality of sleep and the mental state of the human body, but also lead to excessive liver fire, so that toxic and harmful substances in the body can not be excreted in time, and then induce a series of diseases.
1, bad breath, bitter taste
Some people find that their mouths often smell bad after getting up in the morning, and the bitterness in their mouths is even heavier. This is because the liver fire is too strong, which leads to the upwelling of turbid qi in the body and gathering in the mouth, thus inducing symptoms of bad breath and bitter taste.
Even if you pay special attention to oral health and insist on brushing your teeth in the morning and evening, there will still be persistent bad breath symptoms. Only by completely eliminating liver fire can this symptom be alleviated.
2. Red eyes
It is mentioned in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine that the eyes are the place where the liver begins to understand, so we can judge whether the liver function is abnormal by observing the abnormal situation of the eyes.
Generally speaking, if patients have liver problems, they will show symptoms such as more red blood in the eyes, unclear vision and a sharp increase in secretions from the corners of the eyes.
3. Abdominal pain and irregular menstruation
When a woman's liver fire is too strong, there will be menstrual cycle disorder, accompanied by more obvious dysmenorrhea symptoms and increased bleeding.
And during menstruation, the mood will become particularly violent, often because of a little thing on the rampage.
How to alleviate it?
1, relax
Negative emotions and blockage of meridians around the liver are destroyed by * * * *. If you are depressed for a long time, the liver will have congestion symptoms because of congestion. At the same time, the blockage of liver meridian will indirectly aggravate people's negative emotions, thus falling into a vicious circle.
If you find that you often wake up in the middle of the night 1-3 and have symptoms related to liver meridian obstruction, you should first try to adjust your mentality and seek the help of a professional psychologist if necessary.
2, a reasonable diet
High-fat, high-sugar and spicy foods will increase the fat content and sugar content in the blood, thus increasing the burden of liver absorption and metabolism, and then the symptoms of excessive liver fire will appear. Moreover, cold food will also attract cold to the body, thus affecting the function of the liver.
Therefore, it is necessary to build a scientific and reasonable diet structure, focusing on light and digestible foods, paying attention to the balanced intake of various nutrients and eating more foods that protect the liver.
In short, in order to avoid the phenomenon of "natural awakening" at 65438+ 0-3 am, we should start from the root causes, first solve the problem of liver meridian blockage, and maintain the liver by managing emotions, eating reasonably and persisting in exercise.
In addition, it should be noted that we must fall asleep before 1 1 at night and try to avoid staying up late for a long time, so as to ensure the normal detoxification and metabolic function of the liver, improve the resistance of the liver and maintain our health.
