Do you often wake up naturally at three or four in the middle of the night? It's neither waking up with urine, nor waking up with thirst, but the body is tired, and I want to sleep but I'm always awake, and it's hard to fall asleep.
Many people must have this feeling, because they are very tired and have to work the next day, but they always wake up naturally at three or four in the morning, it is difficult to fall asleep after waking up, and it is difficult to work and study the next day.
Sleep is the premise of maintaining health, and it is also a physiological activity that everyone must carry out every day. It provides stable energy and vitality for internal organs, participates in internal organ detoxification, and reduces the burden and pressure on the body.

Why wake up at 3:4:00 in the morning? Director of Internal Medicine: Maybe the body in these two places is "blocked"
(1) Wake up when you are ugly - the liver meridian is "blocked"
As an important organ for metabolic detoxification, the liver is also known as the "human body cleaner". The main function of the liver is to metabolize and detoxify, eliminate toxin garbage, promote blood flow throughout the body, and reduce the burden and pressure on internal organs and tissues. In addition, the liver can also store blood, regulate blood, secrete bile and protein, and participate in digestion and absorption of the gastrointestinal tract.
If you often wake up spontaneously around 3 am, there is a good chance that there is a problem with your liver. The main metabolism and detoxification time of the liver is from 1 am to 3 am. At this time, the liver needs to excrete excess toxin garbage from the body to maintain body balance. If you often wake up spontaneously during this time, it means that the liver is blocked.
Because the distribution of pain nerves in the liver is less, it will not appear too obvious even after the lesion, so it is often ignored and develops to a very serious degree.
When the liver is blocked, the following symptoms often occur:
Extremities: There are obvious spider veins and liver palms on the palms, increased red lines on the palms, and the vertical lines of the nails are easy to break.
Stomach: poor digestion, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea, frequent farting, sticky stools, yellow urine.
Emotions: Sulking, temper tantrums, and depression.
Mouth and nose: purple lips, yellow teeth, dry mouth and bad breath, yellow tongue coating.
Eyes: Dry, red and swollen eyes, yellow sclera, blurred vision, and decreased vision.
Head: dizziness, headache, tinnitus, palpitations, severe hair loss, white hair on both arms.
How to adjust?
Eat more carbohydrates such as rice and grains, which can supplement the body's calories and provide basic energy. Don't overeat or often be hungry, and don't eat or eat less spicy food.
Eat less pickled food, such as kimchi, which is easily contaminated by microorganisms and can damage the liver. It is not advisable to eat more, but milk, eggs, etc. are rich in protein, minerals, vitamins, and fatty foods. These foods are absorbed by the body and contribute to The growth of muscle tissue, human blood circulation, and greasy food will increase the possibility of suffering from fatty liver.
Avoiding alcohol is very important for patients with poor liver function. There are many bad substances in wine, and the alcohol in wine will directly damage the liver, increase the detoxification burden of the liver, and make the condition more serious.
Don't stay up late. Staying up late for a long time will cause great damage to the liver, and it will also affect the metabolism and detoxification function of the liver. If you want to keep your liver healthy, you must get rid of the bad habit of staying up late as soon as possible, go to bed early and get up early.
(2) Wake up when it is cloudy - the lung meridian is "blocked"
The lung is an important organ of the human respiratory cycle. The main function of the lung is to inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, complete gas exchange, maintain the normal balance of internal organs, and provide abundant oxygen support for the body. When the lungs are blocked, the body usually wakes up at three to four o'clock.
3 am to 5 am is the time for the lungs to cleanse and detoxify themselves. Waking up normally will affect the cleaning function of the lungs and induce severe lung diseases such as pulmonary nodules.
With the increase in the number of private cars and chemical plants, as well as the increasing number of smokers in China, China's air pollution problem is becoming more and more serious. Long-term exposure to chemical gases or working in a heavily polluted environment will increase the pressure and burden on the lungs and induce lung diseases.
After pulmonary obstruction, the following symptoms often appear:
Breathing: Chest tightness, shortness of breath, weak breathing, shortness of breath, chest pain, cough.
Complexion: purple lips, pale complexion.
Throat: Cough and expectoration, sore throat.
Stomach: Loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, difficulty in swallowing.
How to adjust?
Actively participate in aerobic exercise, improve personal physique, improve physical fitness, persist in exercising, improve immunity, enhance cardiopulmonary function, accelerate lung breathing cycle, and help lung detoxification.
Avoid going to heavily polluted environments, avoid exposure to smoke and toxic gases, take protective measures before going out, and wear masks in time.
Quitting smoking as soon as possible is the main cause of lung disease. More than 80% of lung cancer patients have the bad habit of smoking for a long time. Quitting smoking as soon as possible and staying away from the persecution of second-hand cigarettes are the main ways to protect and regulate lung health.
People with pulmonary obstruction must eat less spicy and irritating food. Strong irritating food will not only damage the health of the lungs, but also damage the normal function of other organs. You can usually eat more foods that clear the lungs and moisten the lungs, which will help keep your lungs healthy.
