6 ways to effectively prevent liver cancer Massaging 5 acupoints can also help prevent liver cancer

How to prevent liver cancer has always been a concern for people, and experts have also provided a lot of suggestions, such as eating a light diet, exercising appropriately to strengthen the physical fitness, quitting smoking and drinking, etc.

Here are some tips on how to prevent liver cancer:

1. Liver disease patients should receive timely treatment. Liver damage such as liver fibrosis and cirrhosis caused by long-term liver disease is an important factor in inducing liver cancer. Therefore, liver disease patients must pay attention to the treatment of liver disease, and even those who do not have liver disease should get vaccinated in time to prevent the occurrence of liver cancer.

2. Do not eat moldy or spoiled food. Moldy or spoiled food contains a large amount of aflatoxin, which is a highly carcinogenic substance and is closely related to the occurrence of liver cancer. Studies have shown that people who consume food containing aflatoxin for a long time have a much higher incidence of liver cancer.

3. Do not smoke or drink excessively. Tobacco and alcohol contain nitrite, which can easily cause cancer. Excessive drinking can easily lead to alcoholic liver disease and damage human immunity. Surveys have found that heavy drinking is directly proportional to the occurrence of liver cancer.

4. Do not use drugs indiscriminately. We know that most drugs are metabolized by the liver. Especially for patients with liver disease, if they use drugs indiscriminately, it will further increase the burden on the liver and aggravate the condition.

5. Maintain an optimistic and positive attitude towards life and avoid excessive fatigue. A large number of studies have shown that people who suffer from long-term depression and excessive fatigue are more likely to develop cancer.

6. Regular physical examinations are required, especially for those with liver disease and those over 40 years old. If you feel unwell, you must pay attention to it and go to a regular hospital for examination in time to prevent the occurrence of liver cancer.

In addition, experts say that acupoint massage can also help fight cancer and prevent cancer.

1. Taichong Point

Taichong acupoint is located on the dorsum of the foot, in the depression before the junction of the first and second metatarsal bones. Taichong acupoint is one of the important acupoints on the liver meridian of the foot, and is the original acupoint of the liver meridian. It is roughly equivalent to a warehouse for storing the vital energy of the liver meridian. Massaging and stimulating Taichong acupoint can well mobilize the vital energy of the liver meridian and make the liver function normally.

2. Liver Shu Point

The Liver Shu acupoint is located on the back, 1.5 inches below the spinous process of the 9th thoracic vertebra. It is the back Shu acupoint of the liver, and is the "pond" formed by the liver's vitality gathering on the back of the body. The Liver Shu acupoint is an indispensable health acupoint for nourishing the liver. The combination of the Liver Shu and Taichong belongs to the "Yuyuan Pairing Acupoints" method in traditional Chinese medicine, which can replenish liver yin, nourish the liver and soften the liver. It is taken in the prone position, 1.5 inches below the spinous process of the 9th thoracic vertebra, and 1.5 inches away from the tendon contraction (Du Meridian).

3. Dadun Point

Dadun acupoint is located next to the nail seam on the inside of the big toe. "Dun" means thick, and "Dadun" means particularly thick. Dadun acupoint is also a well acupoint, and "well" means source. There is a "Dadun" acupoint on the edge of the big toe nail, closest to the second toe. When locating Dadun acupoint, you can sit upright or lie on your back. Dadun acupoint is located about 2 mm from the edge of the root of the big toe (on the side of the second toe). "Dadun acupoint" can be massaged or moxibustioned, which can achieve the effect of clearing the liver and improving eyesight, making you clear-headed and refreshed.

4. Taixi Point

Taixi acupoint is located on the inner side of the foot, in the depression between the back of the inner ankle and the heel bone tendon. That is to say, it is in the depression between the inner ankle and the Achilles tendon of the foot. It is symmetrical on both sides, that is, two. This health-preserving acupoint is the original acupoint of the kidney, and it is the warehouse for storing kidney vitality. The liver belongs to wood, and the kidney belongs to water. Trees need water to grow healthily, so nourishing the liver must nourish yin. Using Taixi to mobilize the function of the kidney can better "nourish water and contain wood."

5. Xingjian acupoint

The "Xingjian Point" is located between the big toe and the second toe. It is a fire point. The liver belongs to wood, and wood produces fire. If your liver fire is too strong, you should relieve the heart fire. The "Xingjian Point" is a point for relieving heart fire. In spring, liver fire is strong. Rub the "Xingjian Point" more, and you can disperse the heart fire from here. (Editor: Yao)
