Kidney deficiency is a problem that men fear most because the health of kidney function is directly linked to personal sexual function. Those who experience kidney deficiency indicate that there may be issues with their sexual ability, which can cause great psychological pressure and impact for men. Although everyone hopes to avoid this problem, there are often many bad habits in life that can lead to kidney deficiency without one realizing it. Therefore, everyone must learn to protect themselves and avoid developing the following bad habits.
1. Not liking to drink water
It is often said that women are made of water, but men are the same. Sufficient hydration not only helps maintain good health but also significantly protects the kidney organs. Once a habit of drinking water is developed, urine production will increase, allowing the kidneys to excrete accumulated toxins from the kidneys and the body through urine. On the other hand, if one doesn’t drink water for a long time, toxins will accumulate as they cannot be expelled through urine, potentially leading to various kidney diseases and stone formation.
2. Staying up late for long periods
Staying up late seems to have become very common, whether among young people or middle-aged individuals, and this phenomenon is a major reason for kidney deficiency in many people. According to traditional Chinese medicine research, staying up late causes significant damage to the kidneys, particularly for those over 40, where the harm is even more severe. Continued late nights for a month can lead to mild kidney deficiency, with conditions gradually worsening thereafter.
3. Abuse of kidney supplement medications
Some men, feeling fatigued, may blindly diagnose themselves and start taking various kidney tonic medications in hopes of restoring their kidney function. Experts remind everyone that there are many kidney supplement medications available on the market, and the choice varies for different situations. Blindly using these medications can damage one’s health and increase the metabolic burden on the kidneys, worsening kidney deficiency.
4. Enjoying strong tea to relieve intoxication
As important pillars of the family, men often have business engagements that can lead to drunkenness. Many people prefer using strong tea to sober up when intoxicated. This self-perceived effective method actually has no real effect and can damage the kidneys, resulting in kidney deficiency. This is because strong tea contains a large amount of theobromine, which promotes urine excretion; however, if urine contains alcohol that has not yet been fully decomposed, the large amount of residual ethanol in the body can cause significant harm to the kidneys.
5. Having sex too frequently
A strong libido in men often indicates good kidney function, but if indulged in excessively, even the best kidney can eventually be affected, leading to kidney deficiency. Excessive sexual activity can also cause congestion in the prostate, leading to issues such as inflammation and hyperplasia.
It is believed that very few men want to experience kidney deficiency, so the aforementioned bad lifestyle habits should be corrected promptly. Developing good personal habits not only protects the kidneys but is also greatly beneficial to overall health.
