李晓玲表示，春季养肝贵在"疏"与"柔"，核心是顺应其升发、舒畅之性，避免压抑或过亢。具体来说， 一要情志舒畅，有不良情绪应及时疏导，避免暴怒和长期忧郁；二要饮食有节，宜减酸增甘，适当减少 山楂、乌梅等酸性食物的摄入，多吃性味甘平、能健脾益气的食物，如山药、大枣、薏米等；三要起居 有常，适当晚睡（不晚于11点）早起，以适应阳气生发；四要舒缓运动，剧烈、大汗淋漓的运动会耗伤 阳气，应进行散步、慢跑，让身体舒展，气血调和。 "虽然春季养生以肝为先，但人体是一个整体，还需兼顾其他。"李晓玲补充说，首先，要注重健脾，同 时避免思虑过度。其次，要护卫阳气，春天气温变化大，虽有春捂秋冻之说，但"捂"要适度，重点保护 颈项、背部、腹部和脚部。第三，要调畅气机，保持规律作息、适度运动、心情愉悦，让身体的气血运 行畅通无阻。 （来源：工人日报） 本报讯 （记者陶稳）立春后，天气回暖，万物开始复苏，这与人体的肝主升发、喜条达（舒畅）特性 相呼应。此时肝气如同春木，开始变得活跃，向上向外舒展，若肝气受阻或升发太过，容易导致肝功能 失调，引发一系列问题。近日，首都医科大学附属北京中医医院肝病科副主任医师李晓玲在接受《工人 日报》记者采 ...

Core Viewpoint - The theme of National Liver Day on March 18 is "Integrating Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine to Reverse Liver Cirrhosis," emphasizing the importance of liver health and the potential for reversing liver diseases like fatty liver and cirrhosis through proper management and treatment [1]. Group 1: Fatty Liver Disease - Fatty liver disease is a common chronic liver condition globally, closely related to poor dietary and lifestyle habits, but it can be reversed through scientific management [2][3]. - There is a misconception that fatty liver is only associated with obesity; however, even thin individuals can develop fatty liver due to nutritional imbalances and metabolic disorders [2]. - The latest treatment guidelines in China have redefined fatty liver as Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD), with common causes including obesity, alcohol consumption, diabetes, and certain medications [2][3]. Group 2: Management and Reversal of Fatty Liver - Patients with mild to moderate fatty liver can manage their health through dietary adjustments, exercise, and metabolic control, which can lead to reversal of the condition [3][4]. - Dietary recommendations include limiting ultra-processed and high-saturated fat foods while increasing the intake of vegetables and whole grains [3]. - For overweight adults, a weight loss target of at least 5% can reduce liver fat, while a 7%-10% reduction can improve liver inflammation [3]. Group 3: Liver Cirrhosis Treatment - The traditional view of liver cirrhosis as irreversible is changing with the development of integrated treatment approaches combining Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine [5][7]. - A case study highlighted a patient with decompensated cirrhosis who improved significantly through a personalized treatment plan that included antiviral medication and traditional Chinese herbal remedies [5]. - Early detection and timely treatment are crucial for reversing liver cirrhosis, with the potential for patients in decompensated stages to return to compensated stages through appropriate interventions [6][7]. Group 4: Seasonal Liver Care - Spring is considered a prime time for liver care, as the liver's functions are particularly active during this season [9][10]. - Recommendations for liver health include maintaining regular sleep patterns, avoiding excessive screen time, and managing emotions to prevent liver qi stagnation [10][11]. - Dietary suggestions include consuming green foods and avoiding high-fat and high-sugar items, along with regular physical activity to support liver function [11][12].
