In the scorching weather of the dog days of summer, many friends love to take cold showers to cool down. Especially for male friends who have higher daily activity levels and sweat more frequently, they often take a shower as soon as they return home, which overall saves a lot of time. For male friends, it is beneficial to frequently clean these three areas while showering for kidney health. In the summer, it is recommended not to use cold water for showering; instead, use warm water and if tolerable, hot water a few times, which is beneficial for overall health.
During men’s showers, it is good to massage the ears during shampooing or leisure time as it has a positive impact on kidney health. People with healthy kidneys also tend to have good hearing, so whether during showering or in daily life, massaging the ears frequently can enhance blood circulation in that area, benefiting kidney health. Especially when using warm or hot water during showers, it effectively promotes blood circulation and supports kidney health.
It is well known that the kidneys are located in the waist area; once kidney problems arise, the waist area may also experience discomfort. Therefore, massaging the waist during showers, or installing a massage tub at home if possible, can effectively stimulate blood circulation in the kidneys during soaking baths, ensuring smooth blood flow, significantly reducing the risk of kidney disease. Therefore, it is essential for men to massage the waist area more during showers.
Regardless of gender, people often overlook the ankles during showers, yet this area is easily soiled, especially in summer when it is exposed to dust. There is an acupoint called the Taixi acupoint on the ankles, frequent massage of which is beneficial for kidney health. Regularly massaging the Taixi acupoint on the ankles during showers can enhance kidney function, boost immunity, prevent insomnia, and vivid dreams. The kidneys are crucial for men’s health, so it is important to pay attention to kidney health and focus on massaging these three areas during showers.
