Eight ways for men to protect their liver

Grip :

Put your thumb in the palm of your hand, with the tip of your finger at the base of your ring finger (fourth finger), then bend the other four fingers, and with a little force, hold your thumb firmly, as if holding a treasure. Holding the fist can help to keep your energy and spirit in your body. You can do it while walking, riding in a car, chatting, or watching TV.

Heel Raises :

When lifting your heels, grip the ground with your five toes, hold your legs together, pull your anus and abdomen together, sink your shoulders, straighten your neck and spine, and raise your head with your Baihui point. When you lower your feet, relax your body, grit your teeth lightly, slowly drop halfway, and then lightly shake the ground. Lifting your heels can stretch the bladder and kidney meridians in your waist, back, and legs, and lightly shaking the ground can also massage your internal organs.

Heel walking :

Take big steps, land your heels first, and don't bend your knees. When you step forward, straighten your toes as if you were kicking a ball; when your front foot lands, stand on tiptoe. Landing your heels first actually stimulates the "Kidney Meridian" acupuncture points. Regular walking in this way can effectively prevent and treat osteoporosis.

Massage the Kidney acupoints :

Sit on the edge of the bed with your legs together, rub your palms together until they feel warm, and then press them on your back and waist, massaging the kidney acupoints on the back and waist until you feel warm. You can do this once in the morning and once in the evening, about 200 times each time, which can nourish the kidneys and absorb qi.

Three-element pile :

Spread your feet shoulder-width apart, and bring your hands forward from both sides of your body to hold them in front of your abdomen, at the same height as your umbilicus, with your arms clasped in a circle; at the same time, bend your knees slightly, lower your center of gravity, and slightly open your knee joints to the sides. Slightly arch your back, hold your chest in, stretch your back, and slightly arch your waist and back backwards, opening your Mingmen acupoint. In this way, the front, back, left, right, and top and bottom are all round, and the whole person appears very rounded. This is a basic method of standing in a pile to replenish your vital energy. Doing it often can replenish your kidney energy and strengthen your muscles and bones.

Hot water foot soak :

The best time to soak your feet is between 7 and 9 pm every night, when the kidney meridian is at its weakest. Soaking your feet and massaging them at this time can improve blood circulation throughout the body and nourish the kidneys and liver. A wooden basin is a good container for soaking your feet. The water should not be too hot; about 40°C is appropriate. The soaking time should not be too long; 15 to 30 minutes is appropriate.

Take a deep breath :

When doing deep breathing, choose an environment with fresh air and try to breathe in through your nose. Keep your breathing gentle, slow, even, and deep. Take 6 deep breaths as a set. Then calm down and adjust before doing it again.

Hit the back :

It is recorded in the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine that people with chronic kidney disease can face south at the hour of Yin, relax their body, lean back, and hit the wall with their entire back, using moderate force, and use the reaction force of the impact to restore the body to an upright position. Repeat this, hitting the wall about 30 times each time, and do it 2 to 3 times a day. This can strengthen the waist and kidneys, dredge the meridians, circulate qi and blood, and balance yin and yang.
