The stomach should be warm and nourished, and you can eat millet porridge and yam in moderation; the large intestine needs to be moistened, so eat more dietary fiber such as oats and apples; the biliary tract should avoid greasy food, and dandelion tea is recommended to promote gallbladder. Li Shizhen, a physician in the Ming Dynasty, emphasized in "Compendium of Materia Medica": "The stomach is a sea of ​​water and grains, and adjusting the diet can nourish the six internal organs." Avoid raw, cold, spicy, and excessive drinking to prevent stomach cold or damp-heat accumulation.

Work, rest and mood: the key to collaborative care

The gallbladder meridian is active at midnight (23:00-1:00), so staying up late can easily cause cholestasis; the large intestine meridian is active at Mao (5:00-7:00), so having a bowel movement in the morning is beneficial to detoxification. Emotionally, anger hurts the liver and thinking hurts the spleen. You can relieve stress through meditation or deep breathing. "Yi Zong Jin Jian" of the Qing Dynasty pointed out: "Emotional disorders will affect all the six internal organs." It is recommended to take a nap at noon to nourish gallbladder, and take a walk in the evening to help reduce stomach qi.
