Traditional Chinese medicine says, “The kidneys are the foundation of innate essence,” so the kidneys are very important for health, especially for men. The kidneys symbolize a man’s charm, and if there are abnormalities in the kidneys, it can lead to insufficient kidney qi in men, seriously affecting the quality of marital life and potentially causing a decrease in self-esteem and confidence. Generally, people with healthy kidneys share certain characteristics.
For a man with healthy kidneys, these 3 areas will feel “warm,” if even one applies, congratulations!
1. Warm Waist: As we all know, the kidneys are located in the waist area. If a man’s kidney qi is sufficient, the waist will be strong and not experience weakness or soreness. Additionally, the waist will frequently feel warm. If your waist is warm throughout the year, congratulations, your kidneys are well-maintained.
2. Warm Feet: If kidney function is healthy and kidney qi is sufficient, the kidney meridians will be unobstructed, allowing blood to flow to various parts of the body. The soles of the feet have many kidney meridians and reflex zones. If your feet feel warm, it indicates that your kidney meridians are unobstructed, and kidney function is good.
3. Warm Knees: If your knees feel warm, it suggests good blood circulation and sufficient blood supply, implying relatively healthy kidney function. If your knees often feel cold, it may be due to kidney yang deficiency. So, if your knees remain warm, congratulations, your kidneys are relatively healthy.
For a man with good kidneys, these 3 areas will feel “warm,” following these 2 points will benefit your kidneys:
1. Eat More Black-Colored Foods: Traditional Chinese medicine suggests that black foods nourish the kidneys, so consuming black foods such as black beans, black dates, and black rice can help replenish kidney qi, benefiting kidney health and overall well-being.
2. Soak Your Feet: Many people have the habit of soaking their feet in hot water before bedtime. If you also practice this, congratulations, your kidneys will reward you because soaking feet in hot water promotes blood circulation, clears kidney meridians, enhances blood nourishment of the kidneys, boosts kidney detoxification and metabolism, promoting overall health.
