In the view of , Hu Jianhua, chief physician of the Center for Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine of Beijing You'an Hospital, the first rule of nourishing the liver is not to stay up late, and even if you can't sleep, you have to lie down at the right time. When lying down and resting, the blood flow entering the liver is most frequently times higher than when standing , which is conducive to enhancing liver cell function and improving detoxification ability.
It needs a special reminder that cannot nourish the liver. The liver of animals is high in cholesterol and may also contain toxins. Patients with liver disease already have liver damage to . If eating too much liver in animals, it will not protect the liver and damage the liver.
heart: about 280,000
60 Write a heart diary after the age of
do you know that the average cost of heart transplant surgery is about 280,000 yuan.
If you want to take good care of the heart, His department of cardiovascular internal medicine, , Southern Hospital, Southern Medical University, Xu Dingli, director of the Department of Cardiovascular Internal Medicine, suggest that after the age of 60, keep a good heart diary, including recording the average blood pressure throughout the day, how much exercise you have done, the food you eat and the amount; in addition, tracking and recording your heart health status.
If you have certain risk factors for heart disease, record it first. After correcting bad living habits and developing a good lifestyle for 3 months, check the changes in these indicators (such as heart rate, blood pressure, cholesterol).

40 people over the age of 140 can undergo dynamic electrocardiogram , heart ultrasound and other related cardiac physical examination .
Maintenance method
Weight exceeding the standard will affect the metabolic level and affect cardiovascular health. Therefore, we should reduce the high-fat and high-sugar diet, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and maintain moderate exercise every day.
potassium can regulate heart rhythm, nerve conduction and muscle contraction; it can also promote the excretion of sodium ion , help lower blood pressure, and prevent cholesterol deposition.
Teeth: one tooth is more than 10,000
After meals is the golden time for tooth protection
Teeth the same price in China Dental hospital or outpatient clinics is almost more than 10,000 yuan. In theory, an adult's teeth are worth 300,000 to 400,000 yuan.

The total cost of undergoing lung transplant surgery during hospitalization is 350,000 to 400,000 yuan.
It is not difficult to nourish the lungs, just stick to some good habits. Wang Zemin, chief physician of internal medicine at Wangjing Hospital, Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medical Sciences, shared several small methods.

Everyone can slowly inhale according to their health status while walking or standing, and then shrink their lips and exhale like a trumpet, which can significantly improve breathing function.
3, a smile on your face
More smiles can eliminate fatigue and relieve depression, and can also expand the chest and increase the lung capacity , which helps promote lung qi and helps the rise and fall of the body's qi.

Maintain organs during the "shelf life"
Our brain cells have about 100 billion, and as we grow older, the number of nerve cells in the brain will gradually decrease, and correspondingly, the symptoms of memory loss and brain function will appear.
The aging of the brain is "Waterloo" and irresistible, but developing good living habits and stimulating the activity of connections between neurons can delay the aging process.

Maintenance method
① Supplementation of nutrients
Protein provided by amino acid affects the manufacturing of nerve conduction substances; according to experiments, lecithin can improve human intelligence by 25%; vitamins A, B, and C are very helpful for abstract thinking and good memory.
②Keep good sleep
The brain does not have a special metabolic system. Only when you are asleep can you rely on cerebrospinal fluid to excrete waste substances. Therefore, maintaining good sleep can maintain nerve cell viability.
③Exercise
Maintain reasonable and moderate exercise every day, which helps stimulate the production of neurons in the two main areas of the brain (the olfactory bulb that controls our sense of smell and the hypothalamus used for learning and memory), making your brain younger.
As we grow older, the lens in the eye begins to harden and the focus ability also decreases. At around 45 years old, you will see blurred things from close range; in the next few years, your eyes will become more and more likely to become fatigued and will become sensitive to the brightness of light.

Maintenance method
①Eat three-color food
yellow food ruyu Rice, egg yolk, etc., mainly provide lutein and zeaxanthin , which can increase the density of macular pigment and prevent macular lesions; purple food such as purple cabbage , blueberries, etc., which contains anthocyanin , which can effectively remove free radical , and has an effect on preventing eye diseases such as cataract ; dark green food such as spinach, broccoli , etc. contains a large amount of vitamins, lutein and trace elements, which can help maintain the elasticity of the eye muscles and reduce the occurrence of eye diseases.
②Eye exercises
Eye beads turn animated crosses up and down, left and right, do it 5 times a day, 10 times each time, which can relieve eye fatigue.
3. Heart: Shelf life is about 40 years
According to a study by New York Medical College , the heart is covered with stem cells will be updated every 20 years or so. Provide enough nutrients such as high-quality protein, and the heart has a self-healing function.
However, as you grow older, your nutritional intake is insufficient and your absorption rate is poor. After the age of 40, the heart will begin to age and the efficiency of blood delivery to the whole body will gradually decrease. Therefore, at this time, the elasticity of the blood vessel wall decreases and the arteries begin to harden, which can easily cause fat accumulation, and various cardiovascular diseases will follow.
Recommendation: People over 240 years old should undergo dynamic electrocardiograms, heart ultrasound and other related cardiac physical examinations every year.
Maintenance method
① Control body weight
High weight will affect metabolic level and affect cardiovascular health. Therefore, we should reduce the high-fat and high-sugar diet, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and maintain moderate exercise every day.
②Supplementing potassium elements
Potassium can regulate heart rhythm, nerve conduction and muscle contraction; it can also promote the excretion of sodium ions, help lower blood pressure, and prevent cholesterol deposition.
4. Lung: The shelf life is about 20 years
Starting from the age of 20, the lung capacity of the human body begins to decline. At the same time, the oxygen supply of the human body will also decrease, and various functions of the organs will also begin to degenerate.
Lung is not only responsible for breathing, but also an important hematopoietic organ . Although the lungs will "renew" independently every 2-3 weeks, it is also very "delicate". Air pollution, kitchen smoke, smoking, etc. will increase the burden on the lungs and destroy its self-healing function.
Maintenance method
①Breathing exercise
First inhale in, pour out before; then raise the upper limbs singlely, put down the hands to exhale; finally raise the hands flat and inhale, press the abdomen and exhale.
②Eat "white" food
Tremella , pear, lily , lotus root , etc. have certain effects of nourishing yin and moistening the lungs. You can eat more of it in normal times.
