Nowadays, many men have several things that are indispensable in their lives: cigarettes, alcohol, cars, and computers. They clearly know these are killers that harm health, but they just can't stop. Starting from the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, we introduce some simple and easy health methods for those men who are surrounded by alcohol, nicotine, and radiation all day.

Drinking a small amount of alcohol every day is good for the body, but getting drunk every time will cause great harm to the body, especially to the digestive tract and liver. Long-term drinking significantly increases the risk of liver cirrhosis and fatty liver.

Expert recommendation: The best way to protect the liver is to quit drinking. If you get drunk, it is recommended to drink kudzu flower tea. Kudzu flower is the flower of kudzu root, which has the effect of sobering up and can be used to make tea to relieve alcohol.

If you want to protect your liver in daily life, you can try white chrysanthemum tea and goji berry tea. Both white chrysanthemum and goji berries have the effect of clearing and protecting the liver. Buddha's hand flower and rose can soothe the liver and regulate qi, so they are also good for making tea.

In addition, men who drink alcohol regularly should eat more fruits high in vitamin C, such as oranges and tangerines. Vitamin B can protect the digestive system, so it can also be supplemented in moderation. Avoid eating too much greasy food like大鱼大肉 (big fish and big meat), as these can easily damage the liver.

Smoking damages the lungs, which is well known, but perhaps you don't know that the harmful substances in cigarettes are absorbed into the blood and can also cause cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease and hypertension. Of course, smokers often cough because the harmful substances in cigarettes pollute the mouth and throat. So, smokers, you should quit smoking as soon as possible.

Health reminder: Never smoke when you wake up in the morning.

Expert recommendation: To protect the throat, the first thing many people think of is Pang Dahai (Sterculia lychnophora), but actually Pang Dahai only moistens the throat. The more recommended option is Luo Han Guo (Monk fruit) soaked in water.

Method: Use a small hammer to break a Luo Han Guo the size of a ping-pong ball into pieces, divided into eight equal portions. Each portion is used as one day's amount of tea, soak it in water and drink until there is no taste.

Luo Han Guo tastes both bitter and sweet, not very pleasant, but it has an excellent effect of clearing the throat and relieving咽喉 (throat discomfort).

In addition, lily, radish soup, steamed pear with Chuanbei and rock sugar, and ginkgo can help relieve cough and phlegm. These are good lung-nourishing foods worth trying.

Men who sit in front of the computer all day playing games or drive cars for long periods often experience eye strain and lack of exercise. Don't think that staring at a computer only harms the eyes. Traditional Chinese Medicine has a saying: "Prolonged use of eyes damages the liver" and "Prolonged sitting damages the bones." For such men, experts remind: Exercise more and do more physical activity.

Expert advice: To protect the liver, eat more red dates and goji berries. In addition, stir-frying chives with walnuts can nourish the kidneys.

Expert recommendation: Whether looking at a computer or driving, it strains the eyes a lot. Therefore, it is recommended that people who use their eyes for long periods drink more chrysanthemum tea and goji berry tea, which can clear the liver and brighten the eyes. Also, eat more carrots and vitamin A to protect eyesight and prevent eye diseases.

Regarding the point that "prolonged sitting damages the liver," game addicts and drivers can refer to the health recipe for men who drink alcohol, and eat more fruits high in vitamin C.

In addition, people who sit for long periods are especially prone to weight gain and hyperlipidemia. Such people need to take some tea with blood pressure-lowering, lipid-regulating, and weight-loss functions. Try bitter gourd tea and cassia seed tea; they will also have good effects.
