The kidneys are very important for every male friend, as they not only help to expel waste toxins and garbage accumulated in the body but also help to maintain normal metabolism of the body.
Once kidney function declines, it is likely to trigger various diseases, which are very unfavorable to the health of the body. However, in recent years, more and more male friends have been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. In fact, this is closely related to the unhealthy daily behaviors and dietary habits of males. Please make sure to correct them promptly.
Four intense kidney-damaging behaviors to avoid! Pay particular attention to the last one, which many men do every day:
1. Holding urine
Holding urine is not only harmful to the bladder but also causes significant damage to the kidneys. Many office workers tend to hold their urine. However, holding urine can lead to kidney water retention and urinary system infections.
When holding urine, toxins and waste in the urine will flow back into the kidneys, making it easy for kidney inflammation to occur. Gradually, kidney function will deteriorate. In daily life, make sure to break the habit of holding urine promptly.
2. Consuming heavily flavored food
Some male friends have a very strong taste preference in their daily lives and enjoy eating heavily flavored food. However, this behavior can severely damage the kidneys. Please distance yourself from consuming excessive heavily flavored food.
If you consume too much heavily flavored food, it puts a significant burden on your kidneys, and over time, it can lead to decreased sexual function. Please control your diet, focusing on light and easily digestible foods.
3. Drinking beverages instead of water
Nowadays, many young people are also experiencing kidney diseases, which are closely related to the habit of replacing water with beverages. Many individuals dislike drinking water, find plain water tasteless, and prefer beverages. However, beverages contain high sugar content and various additives. Prolonged intake of beverages can increase blood concentration, burden kidney metabolic functions, and potentially lead to kidney damage and metabolic issues.
4. Staying up late
Many men nowadays tend to stay up late frequently, citing various reasons to do so. However, staying up late is one of the most intense behaviors that harm the kidneys. During nighttime, the kidneys are in a state of rest. If you stay awake, it forces the kidneys to continue working, affecting detoxification and metabolism processes. Prolonged overloading of kidney function can gradually reduce kidney function, deplete kidney essence, leading to potential health issues.
Men with strong kidney functions exhibit eight prominent characteristics. If you possess half of them, your kidneys are in good shape:
1. Rich in hormones
For male friends, having strong kidney function is evident in the abundant secretion of male hormones, making them very charismatic.
2. Dark and thick hair
According to Chinese medicine, strong kidney function and abundant kidney Qi can better nourish hair growth, resulting in dark and lustrous hair.
3. Rosy skin
Strong kidney function and ample kidney Qi stabilize the body’s internal environment, promoting better skin metabolism. Healthy kidneys lead to radiant and youthful skin.
4. Energetic
If a male friend lacks kidney Qi, they may feel lethargic and lacking vitality. In contrast, those with sufficient kidney Qi are energetic.
5. Sharp hearing
The kidneys are closely related to the ears’ functions. Strong kidney function enhances hearing acuity, whereas decreased hearing may indicate insufficient kidney Qi.
6. Normal urination
The kidneys play a vital role in urine metabolism. Urination patterns can reflect the kidney’s health status. Frequent urination, urgency, or nocturia are essential signs of declining kidney function.
7. Agile thinking
With strong kidney function, abundant vital energy supports adequate brain blood supply, leading to sharp thinking and improved memory.
8. Strong bones
Strong kidney function, coupled with sufficient male hormone secretion, accelerates calcium absorption in the body, resulting in robust bones. However, decreased kidney function accelerates calcium loss, leading to osteoporosis.
These characteristics indicate strong kidney function. If you possess half of them, it signifies that your kidneys are in good condition. Congratulations!
To maintain kidney health, remember these tips:
1. Protect your feet
The soles of the feet have many acupuncture points and reflect the kidney meridian. Soaking and massaging your feet in warm water before sleep can help clear kidney meridians. Additionally, always protect your feet to prevent cold invasion.
2. Regularly massage your earlobes
There are numerous kidney meridians around the ears. Therefore, massaging your earlobes and the surrounding area during idle times can promote the generation of yang energy within the body, facilitate the smooth flow of kidney meridians, and have excellent kidney-nourishing effects for better kidney health.
