One action can nourish the liver and resist aging

It is common to see some people eat very quickly, even very hot food can be swallowed within 10 minutes. In fact, "chewing slowly and thoroughly" is in line with the principles of health preservation and can also bring out the health-preserving effects of saliva. Saliva, which we commonly call "spit", is secreted by the salivary glands. Almost all of it is swallowed and absorbed by the digestive system before entering the blood.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, "Qi is the life-prolonging herb, and Jin is the longevity medicine"

Saliva contains many beneficial factors. The ancients said that saliva can "moisturize the five senses, moisturize the skin, strengthen teeth, strengthen muscles and bones, promote blood circulation, and prolong life." Specifically, saliva has the functions of quickly stopping bleeding, softening and contracting blood vessels, dissolving bacteria, killing microorganisms, strengthening teeth and kidneys, resisting viruses, and aiding digestion.

The average daily saliva secretion per person can reach 1000 to 1500 ml. Food residues accumulate in the human mouth, creating conditions for bacterial reproduction. The constant flow of saliva in the mouth is equivalent to timely cleaning of the teeth, which can keep the mouth clean and healthy. The nutrients contained in saliva, such as protein, glucose, sodium, potassium, phosphate, and calcium, can maintain the acidity and alkalinity of the oral cavity and regulate the pH value. The dissolution and deposition of enamel on the tooth surface is a dynamic process. Calcium ions, phosphate ions and fluoride ions in saliva play an important role in protecting enamel.

Saliva can "bundle" chewed food into "food balls" to facilitate swallowing.

At the same time, saliva contains amylase, which can break down the starch in food into maltose. It not only makes people feel sweetness, but also allows food to enter the digestion process in the mouth. Saliva contains lysozyme and secretory immunoglobulin A

Antibacterial ingredients such as chlorhexidine and chlorhexidine can inhibit or eliminate hemolytic streptococci, typhoid bacilli, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, thereby preventing inflammation of the gums, mouth and throat.

Saliva contains a "parotid hormone" that can keep people young, make people smart, have strong teeth and strong muscles. Medical research experts have proven that the histone-rich protein in human saliva can significantly shorten wound healing time. Therefore, if you are suddenly injured and it is inconvenient to clean the wound, it is best to apply some saliva on the wound.

In addition to killing microorganisms, strengthening teeth, and aiding digestion, saliva also has factors that promote cell repair and growth.

It eliminates free radicals that are harmful to the human body and also has a strong anti-cancer effect. Therefore, if you insist on swallowing your saliva and chew each mouthful of food 30 times, you can eliminate most of the harmful substances and benefit your health. Therefore, it makes sense that people say "Swallow saliva three hundred times a day and you will live to 190 days old."

Generally, people with strong physiques have more abundant saliva secretion. The elderly and weak have insufficient saliva secretion, and often experience dry mouth, dry skin, physical decline, tinnitus and hearing loss, dull face, constipation, etc. The health-preserving method of swallowing saliva can help regain youth and resist aging.

Saliva is transformed into essence in the body, which has the effect of nourishing and protecting the liver.

Ancient Chinese medical books said: "The five internal organs produce five liquids. The heart produces sweat, the lungs produce mucus, the liver produces tears, the spleen produces saliva, and the kidneys produce saliva. These are the five liquids." This means that saliva is produced by the spleen and kidneys. The kidneys are the innate foundation of the human body, and the spleen is the acquired foundation of the human body. The spleen and kidneys are enriched with the essence of the five internal organs and the essence of qi and blood. Therefore, saliva contains many substances that are beneficial to human health and longevity, and it also plays a special role in nourishing and protecting the liver. Ancient medical scientists believed that people with abundant saliva must have a strong constitution, and they judged the disease condition based on the amount of saliva.

Modern medicine has also proven that saliva contains various components of plasma, as well as more than 10 enzymes and nearly 10 vitamins, multiple minerals, organic acids and hormones. There is also a salivary gland hormone in saliva that can stimulate the body's hematopoietic function, delay the aging of various tissues and organs in the body, prevent senile diseases, and contribute to people's health and longevity. There is also a peroxidase in saliva that can inhibit the toxicity of carcinogens.

There is a way to swallow saliva

When you are not eating, the tongue should be stirred frequently in the mouth, which can make the water in the body rise to the mouth, turn into saliva through the salivary glands, and then be swallowed slowly. This can nourish the liver, improve health, eliminate diseases, and prolong life. This method is suitable for when you just wake up in the morning or when you are free. Naturally relax your limbs, eliminate distracting thoughts, and close your eyes and mouth. The tongue first moves from the inside of the upper left gum to the right, then from the outside of the upper right gum to the left, then from the inside of the lower left teeth to the right, and then from the outside of the lower right teeth to the left. Repeat this 9 times. Then tap the upper and lower teeth 36 times and rinse your mouth 9 times with saliva. The saliva will be produced naturally and gradually fill your mouth. Divide it into three times and swallow it slowly.

Another way to swallow saliva is to lie on your back.

Or stand, concentrate and hold your breath for a moment, exhale gently 3 times, then hold your breath and clench your teeth. If there is food in your mouth, gargle with your cheeks and tongue 30 times. Saliva will be produced in your mouth when gargling. When your mouth is full of saliva, use your mind to send the saliva into Dantian 3 times. Do this three times, which is called three times and nine swallows, and is called "eating the Jade Spring." When you first start practicing, you may not produce much saliva, but it will increase naturally after practicing for a while. If you practice it once in the morning and once in the evening every day, you will get very good health-preserving effects, which can make your face moisturized, energetic and physically strong.

Of course, there is another easy way to produce fluid, which is to continuously lick the upper palate. It can make your mouth full of saliva and taste like sweet dew. If you persist in using the above methods, you will be able to achieve the effects of full essence, sufficient energy and complete spirit.
