People will get tired after working for a long time, and similarly, human organs will get tired after working for a long time. Our organs are like "perpetual motion machines", working 24 hours a day, a real model worker.
Here are a few foods that can relieve organ fatigue, a health list for those who are struggling hard.
1. Heart fatigue: eat red beans
Some people will have symptoms such as chest tightness, palpitation, shortness of breath, and especially sighing, and sometimes palpitations, but there is no abnormality in the examination. Sometimes, it's not really heart disease, it's heart fatigue and autonomic dysfunction that causes blood pressure to go up and down.
Traditional Chinese medicine has the concept of "five colors into the five organs", red food into the heart, and red beans can drive blood circulation, people with high blood pressure may wish to eat more, which can protect the cardiovascular system.
This is not tired of eating: the potassium and dietary fiber in red beans are very rich, which strengthens the heart, reduces swelling and diuresis, and replenishes blood. Whether it is steamed, boiled, or stewed, it can give full play to the effect of red beans.
The skin of red beans is relatively thick, so soak or steam them before eating them to make them slightly soft before boiling porridge or making red bean rice with rice.
2. Kidney fatigue: eat chestnuts
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that chestnuts have the effects of tonifying the spleen and stomach, strengthening the kidneys and tendons, invigorating blood and stopping bleeding, and are also regarded as the "fruit of the kidney".
"Compendium of Materia Medica" said that chestnut "cures kidney deficiency, waist and foot weakness, hangs raw chestnuts in a bag, eats more than ten pieces a day, and eats pork kidney porridge to help it, and it will be strong for a long time." Cooked chestnut can also strengthen the spleen and relieve spleen deficiency.
Eating like this is very "kidney-walking": chestnuts are not easy to digest, so it is not recommended to eat them raw, you can try boiling chestnuts to eat. Just put the chestnuts in a pot and cook them for more than ten minutes, this way of eating is cleaner than fried chestnuts in sugar, and the water is large, which is easier to digest.
It can also be paired with other ingredients, such as Huaishan chestnut porridge. This porridge has the effect of strengthening the spleen and kidneys, strengthening the muscles and nourishing the blood, and is suitable for kidney deficiency, back pain, lower limb weakness, spleen deficiency and diarrhea.
3. Brain fatigue: eat walnuts
The human brain is like a reservoir, and if you let it carry too much stuff, it won't function properly. Office workers have a large workload, and the brain has been in a state of high-speed operation from morning to night, once it is excessive, the brain is tired, and the work will seem inadequate, and the memory will also decline.
Do this to repair your brain power: During working hours, you may wish to get up and walk around every 1 hour to relax your brain nerves.

4. Stomach fatigue: eat millet
Some people eat and drink a lot all day long, and their stomachs are inevitably affected by irregular meals.

Millet has a sweet and salty taste, has the effects of clearing heat and quenching thirst, strengthening the stomach and dehumidifying, and stomach sleeping, etc., and it is more suitable for people with internal heat and weak spleen and stomach.
Eat like this to nourish the spleen and stomach: Some people have a bad appetite, and after eating millet, they can both appetize and nourish the stomach, which helps to strengthen the stomach and eliminate appetite and prevent nausea and vomiting. You can only use millet to boil porridge to drink, or add raw oats to boil porridge together, which can play a role in nourishing the spleen and stomach and reducing fat.
5. Eye fatigue: eat wolfberries
Office workers stare at the computer in front of them all day long, operating all kinds of densely arranged documents and forms, and their eyes will inevitably feel sore.
It is recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Goji berries nourish the kidneys and produce sperm, nourish the liver and brighten the eyes." "Eating goji berries can reduce UV irritation and protect the optic nerve from damage.
Eating it this way is more eye-catching: The best and easiest way to give full play to the eye protection effect of goji berries is to chew them and eat them. Generally, healthy adults eat about 10 grams of wolfberry every day, and it is easy to overnourish if they eat too much.
6. Leg fatigue: eat bananas
After a day of walking, you feel that your legs are sore and tired, and you can eat a banana at this time, which is known as the number one "leg master" in food.
Bananas are rich in potassium and magnesium, which helps stretch leg muscles and prevent leg cramps, and magnesium has the effect of relieving fatigue.
Eat like this to make your legs beautiful: unripe bananas contain more tannic acid, which has an astringent effect on the digestive tract and will inhibit gastrointestinal peristalsis. Generally speaking, it is best to store bananas in a ventilated place until there are dark spots on the skin, but the texture of the inside has not changed.
