In today’s society, everyone pays attention to health, not only female friends, but also many times male friends also join in. In fact, many times for men, health equals kidney health. A strong kidney can not only ensure one’s own physical health but also satisfy one’s partner. Sometimes, without a good kidney, it can bring not only physical pressure but also mental burden. Today, the author shares some common knowledge about kidney health for male friends. If we want to take care of our kidneys, it’s not only through some tonics, but also paying attention to some small details in life can help achieve this.
The kidney is a very fragile organ, especially most afraid of three things:
First: Excessive sexual activity between spouses.
From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the sexual activity between men and women must pay attention to moderation, not excessive. Sometimes we know that overdoing this can harm the body, not only for male friends but also has certain harm for female friends because sexual activity requires the comprehensive coordination of our nervous system, body, sympathetic, as well as parasympathetic nervous systems to complete. The most obvious signs are increased heart rate, rapid breathing, and a short-term increase in blood, which are systemic reactions that also occur in female friends.
Second: Drinking too little water.
For the human body, each organ has its specific function. The kidneys’ main function is detoxification, handling most of the body’s toxins. Health experts say that drinking more water helps speed up the body’s metabolism, thus reducing the pressure on the kidneys. Drinking adequate water daily is essential as it helps maintain a balanced metabolism. Insufficient intake can greatly increase the pressure on the kidneys, leading to certain losses over time.
Third: Consuming excessively salty foods.
The waste toxins we excrete daily, such as sweat, tears, urine, all contain a certain amount of salt. Some hypertensive and hyperlipidemic patients suffer from long-term consumption of salty foods because the salt entering the body needs to be eventually excreted. Consuming excessively salty foods not only causes significant harm to our kidneys but also accelerates aging.
So, how can we take care of our kidneys in daily life? Before going to bed each day, you may want to consider doing these two things, which have significant benefits for our kidneys.
1. Rubbing the waist before sleep.
The health of the waist is closely related to the kidneys. Regularly massaging the waist has a good effect on kidney maintenance. Developing a habit of massaging the waist before sleep every day helps promote circulation in the waist, thereby clearing the body’s meridians and promoting blood circulation, making your waist healthier and benefiting kidney health. Method: Rub your palms together until they feel warm, then place them on your waist and rub up and down or rotate a few times. Repeat this daily, and after some time, you will see results.
2. Soaking feet before sleep.
Many people have the habit of soaking their feet before going to bed. Soaking your feet every day not only improves sleep but also has a good effect on kidney health. Soaking your feet in hot water for about 20 minutes can help relax muscles, warm the kidneys, and promote kidney health. Additionally, soaking your feet daily has a certain relieving effect on lower body swelling. After soaking your feet, massage them for 5 minutes, especially massaging the Yongquan acupoints on the soles of your feet, has a good kidney health effect. People with kidney issues may want to give this a try.
