Men who enjoy doing these three things in the morning generally have good kidney health; you might want to give it a try.
While there are frequent calls for gender equality, good things often prioritize women. When “the sky falls,” it still takes a tall person to hold it up. In fact, up to now, many of the difficult challenges in society are still shouldered by men. In families, men bear the main responsibilities. Men must prepare a house and a car before getting married. In short, “Men are tired; everyone in the world finds it hard to live…” For men, contributing everything for their families is done without complaint.
The kidneys, according to traditional Chinese medicine, are the foundation of our innate health, and I believe they are the source of a man’s strength. Generally, good men have ample yang energy, can tackle various tasks themselves, think everything through, and do not easily get tired. In contrast, insufficient kidney energy results in weak physical resistance and fatigue from work. Those who want to achieve more may often feel powerless. Therefore, having good kidneys is an asset for a man. For men, possessing healthy kidneys is very important.
Men who enjoy doing these three things in the morning generally have good kidney health; you might want to give it a try.
When it comes to health maintenance, many think of health supplements, nourishing products, or even folk remedies. This clearly shows that you don’t understand kidneys well. In fact, true kidney nurturing isn’t about tonic foods; it’s about your lifestyle habits. The following are three habits in the morning that are very important for kidney health. It’s worth understanding.
1. Don’t hold in urine
After a night of accumulation, many people feel a strong urge to urinate upon waking, and some may even feel anxious about holding it in, possibly waking up from sleep. Most people generally get up to relieve themselves, which is the correct choice; however, some insist on holding it until they can’t bear it anymore, seemingly testing the limits of their bladder.
Actually, if we hold in urine too forcefully, it can lead to reflux, which is extremely damaging to the kidneys. Therefore, to take good care of your kidneys, avoid this behavior; it’s best to relieve yourself as soon as you feel the urge.
2. Take three and a half minutes to get up
1. After waking from a daze, take a half-minute pause and stretch;
2. After getting out of bed, sit on the edge and wait another half-minute before getting dressed.
3. Once you’re all set, sit at the head of the bed for half a minute before getting up and moving around.
This emphasizes the idea of “slowing down.” In the morning, when we awaken from sleep, our bodies are not fully awake, especially the heart and kidneys. During the night when we sleep soundly, our metabolism is very slow, and blood circulation is also quite sluggish. If we immediately engage in vigorous activity upon waking, it places immediate demands on all our organs to spring into action, which can be a shock to the kidneys and heart. Therefore, in the morning, I choose to slow my movements to gradually awaken kidney function, which is beneficial for its health. This three and a half minutes is particularly important for the elderly and is also very advantageous for cardiovascular health.
3. Drink water after getting up
After a night of metabolism, our bodies are in a state of significant dehydration. Once we tidy up after waking up, kidney function has been fully revived, meaning metabolic functions will accelerate and require a large volume of water; otherwise, high urine concentration can also damage the kidneys. Therefore, drinking a glass of water after waking is very crucial. It is timely and also very beneficial for cardiovascular health. This can relieve many worries for the elderly.
The key to nurturing the kidneys is to develop good lifestyle habits, such as not staying up late, not smoking or drinking, avoiding drugs, and not engaging in prolonged fatigue. At the same time, it’s important to reasonably satisfy physiological needs and maintain appropriate exercise. Generally speaking, people with good lifestyle habits tend to have healthy kidneys, while on the contrary, there are many who suffer from deficiencies; hence, special attention should be given.
