"Is this child just my responsibility? You come home every day and know that you lie on the couch, don't cook, don't mop the floor, don't even care about the child's homework. Are you trying to exhaust me?" Xiaomei started a fire at her husband Daming.
Since Xiaobao went to elementary school, the dispute between Xiaomei and Daming has not stopped. Because of the epidemic, the elderly on both sides couldn't help, so Xiaomei could only pick up Xiaobao to and from school by herself. After delivering the children every day, she has to rush to work, and after work, she has to go grocery shopping and pick up the children.
As for Daming, when he goes home every day, he lies on the sofa, does not do housework, and does not accompany his children to study.
On this day, Da Ming heard Xiaomei's complaint again, and he was annoyed, when he suddenly heard a noise from the kitchen. He walked over and saw that Xiaomei had fallen to the ground and lost consciousness. Da Ming hurriedly called an ambulance.
The results of the examination came out, and Xiaomei was diagnosed with liver cancer. She couldn't figure out how she could get this kind of disease because she had good living habits, and Da Ming was also in turmoil at the moment, regretting that she didn't share more housework.

In the concept of traditional Chinese medicine, a person's emotional state is closely related to physical health, and the liver is regarded as the main regulator of emotions.
There is a cloud in "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing": "The liver is the main plan, the main secretary is discharged, the department is upright, the joy and anger are in response, the anger is up, and the joy is slow." ”
This passage illustrates the liver's role in regulating emotions, especially the handling of emotions of anger and joy. Therefore, it is often said that "qi hurts the liver", which means that emotional agitation may cause adverse effects on the liver.
Recent studies have also found a link between mood and liver health. Frequent tantrums may increase the risk of liver disease.
This is because emotional agitation will lead to qi stagnation inside the liver, which will make the liver function unbalanced, thus increasing the burden on the liver.
In addition, long-term emotional repression may also make a person irritable and irritable, which can further damage the liver. Studies have shown that people who are often angry and irritable belong to the type C personality, that is, the cancer personality, and their risk of liver disease is 8 times higher than that of the general population.
In addition to emotional factors, stress in your life can also have a negative impact on liver health. Modern people's fast-paced life, high work pressure, family conflicts and other problems may lead to emotional instability, which in turn affects liver function.
Especially during the pandemic, the pressure on the family has multiplied, and parents who are unable to go out need to take on more housework and children's education, which may lead to emotional tension and instability, which in turn affects the health of the liver.
Therefore, although liver disease is not completely "qi", emotional and life stress has an important impact on liver health.
Maintaining a good emotional state and learning to deal with stress effectively is one of the important ways to prevent liver disease.
At the same time, it is recommended that people pay attention to regulating their emotions, maintaining their mental health, and reducing life pressure through exercise, relaxation, etc., which helps to maintain the health of the liver.

The liver is one of the most important organs in the human body and is responsible for many important functions, including metabolism, detoxification, storage and production of vital substances.
However, when the liver is damaged or unhealthy, it does not immediately emit noticeable symptoms, so there are signs that need to be used to identify the liver's "cry for help".
1. Edema
When the liver is damaged, its blood circulation is affected, and the venous pressure level increases, causing body fluids to accumulate in the abdomen, legs, and other areas, forming edema.
This is because the liver loses its normal ability to regulate and process fluids in the body efficiently, resulting in fluid retention. Therefore, if swelling and edema occur in a part of the body, it may be a sign of abnormal liver function.
2. Urine becomes darker
Under normal circumstances, a person's urine color should be clear and transparent, but when the liver is damaged, the urine may become darker in color and appear brown or dark yellow.
This is because metabolites such as bilirubin cannot be excreted properly, resulting in a change in the color of the urine. Therefore, if the urine is unusually dark in color, it may be a sign of liver problems.
3. Dull skin
When the liver is damaged, the body's blood circulation efficiency is affected, causing the skin to lose its normal radiance and take on a dull, dry, sickly appearance.
This is because the liver loses its function of nourishing and regulating the blood, resulting in a lack of adequate nutrients and moisture for the skin. Therefore, if the facial skin is dull, it may be a sign of abnormal liver function.
4. Yellowing of eyes and skin
The liver is responsible for secreting substances such as bilirubin, and when the liver is damaged, these substances may not be excreted properly, resulting in an increase in the concentration of bilirubin in the body, which in turn leads to yellowing of the whites of the eyes and skin.
This is because bilirubin builds up in the body and reaches the eyes and skin through the blood circulation, causing it to turn yellow. Therefore, if the whites of the eyes and skin appear yellowish, it may be a sign of liver problems.
5. Red moles appear
Erythema is a peculiar skin manifestation that is often associated with liver disease.
When the liver is damaged, the amount of estrogen in the body may increase, leading to the appearance of red moles. Therefore, if a red mole on the skin appears, it may be related to liver health.

The liver is an important organ of the body and plays a vital role in maintaining the health of the human body.
However, many people may make some mistakes in their daily lives that harm the liver, which can lead to impaired liver function in the long run. Here are some behaviors that harm the liver that should be avoided in daily life:
1. Excessive alcohol consumption.
Excessive alcohol consumption is one of the main causes of liver damage. Alcohol can cause direct damage to liver cells, leading to the occurrence of diseases such as fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis and even cirrhosis.
Therefore, the amount of alcohol consumed should be controlled, no more than two taels per day for men and no more than one tael per day for women, and avoid drinking heavily for a long time.
2. Eat processed foods often.
Processed foods often contain a lot of additives and preservatives, and long-term consumption will increase the burden on the liver and increase the liver's detoxification function.
Therefore, you should try to choose fresh, natural foods and reduce your intake of processed foods.
3. Eat moldy food.
Improper storage of food tends to produce mold, and the toxins produced by mold can cause liver damage and even lead to liver damage. Therefore, one should pay attention to the way food is stored and avoid consuming spoiled food.
4. Drug abuse
Many people may abuse drugs in their lives and even take drugs as health supplements for a long time.
However, many drugs have certain toxic side effects on the liver, and long-term abuse may lead to liver damage.
Therefore, you should use your medications as prescribed by your doctor and do not abuse them, especially those that are harmful to your liver.
