HEALTHY TIPS*: LIVER

• 1. LUNGS and BIG INTESTINES share the system. If one is sick or infected, the other will also be sick/infected.

• 2.When the LIVER is in pain, there is not much signs or symptoms to be detected. Before many cancers happen, usually the LIVER will be the frist to get sick.

• 3.LIVER filters out the poisons and it attacks all the viruses in the body.

• 4. 99% of Chinese have weak LIVERS because they eat a lot of meat and high, fatty food.

• 5.The LIVER's repair time is effective from 11 PM-to-3 AM. Therefore, sleeping late after 11 PM and having late supper [of high cholesterol and fatty food] two hours before sleeping weakens the LIVER because it does not have enough time to rest and regenerate. Even when one replaces that sleep later in the morning will not help.

• 6.If you get hungry just before bedtime, eat fruits and vegetables which is easy to digest. Meat takes about four hours to digest before it goes to the intestines. Meat cooked in oil takes about 12 hours before going into the intestines. This will provoke the Liver and the Digestive Tract to overwork in filtering the toxins thus, you will tend to feel tired when you wake up in the morning.

• 7.OIL is the main culprit that will weaken the functions of the LIVER and damage it. Medication cannot cure LIVER problem and will damage it even further.

• 8.Cold-pressed Olive Oil, carrots, cucmber, raw chili, garlic, onion, little bamboo [shoots], sea-salt, raddish, pumpkin, small fish are good for the body. Sesame Oil is OK.

• 9.Food Preservatives, Food Colorings, Bee-hoon is processed with Aluminum (causes Dementia), Bleach, syrup, pesticides are all bad for LIVER health. Wrong medication can shrink and damage the LIVER badly. Radiation from the Microwave destroys all the nutrients in the food.

• 10. Western medication is bad for the LIVER. Chinese medication is bad for the kidney. White raddish will disable the effects of Chinese medication.
