The kidneys are an important filtering system in the human body that helps metabolize excess toxins and waste in the body, maintaining the electrolyte balance. Located on both sides of the waist, one on each side, for many men, experiencing lower back pain often leads to jokes about kidney health. However, lower back pain is not necessarily a kidney issue. Prolonged sitting can also cause lower back pain due to muscle strain.
Having strong kidneys can boost a man’s confidence in daily life, especially in interactions with partners, meeting their needs. However, with the fast pace of life, many people’s unhealthy habits inadvertently affect kidney health. If you notice dark circles and frequent urination, it could be a signal from the kidneys. It’s important to seek help early!
Frequent dark circles and increased urination are often signs of kidney issues, do not ignore them!
Dark circles around the eyes, dull eyes: Many people attribute dark circles around the eyes to lack of sleep. However, staying up late or insomnia leads to kidney qi depletion, affecting mental well-being. Dark circles and dull eyes are common signs of kidney qi deficiency.
Darkening of lip color: The color of the lips reflects kidney health. Healthy kidneys ensure good circulation and vibrant lip color. When kidney function declines, lips may darken due to toxin accumulation affecting blood circulation. If you notice darkening lip color, it’s essential to care for kidney health promptly.
Increased urination: Normally, the average person urinates 5-8 times a day, with clear, odorless urine. When kidney function decreases, frequent urination, especially at night, with foamy, dark, and foul-smelling urine signals kidney distress.
How to protect kidney health daily?
To maintain kidney health, avoid prolonged sitting, stay hydrated, respond promptly to the urge to urinate, and manage high blood pressure by controlling salt intake. Regularly observe and address any unusual bodily changes to safeguard kidney health.
