Now, many male friends may find themselves staying up late, partly because of their busy work schedule, often having to work late at the office, and partly because they simply do not want to go to sleep. When they finally get home, they just want to relax a bit. Moreover, regardless of day or night, most men do not like drinking water much unless they are extremely thirsty. Over time, the kidneys can easily be damaged, leading male friends to often feel fatigued, even when resting in bed, feeling exhausted. When men shower, if they pay attention to cleaning these “3 areas,” their kidneys may become healthier!
1. Ankles
Many men are very casual when showering, some even just let water flow over their bodies thinking they are not that dirty, as long as they rinse off the sweat. The ankles are often overlooked, but if you carefully wash and gently massage the ankles during showering, it can greatly help enhance kidney function, improving kidney health gradually.
2. Armpits
Most men unconsciously overlook their armpits when showering, forgetting to apply body wash and rarely rinsing the area. During summer, a lot of sweat is released through the armpits, leading to the accumulation of sweat and potential bacterial growth. It’s necessary to clean the armpits thoroughly every day. The armpits contain many acupoints related to the kidneys. Gently massaging these acupoints during showering can contribute to kidney health.
3. Ears
People usually think of ears as organs for hearing, but they are also connected to meridians related to the kidneys. It’s advisable for men to clean their ears during showering to avoid odor due to lack of hygiene. Lightly rubbing the ears can contribute to kidney care and help eliminate toxins from the kidneys.
If your kidneys are not in good condition, in addition to cleaning the mentioned areas, it’s also beneficial to drink more Pu’er tea. Consuming some Pu’er tea in summer can help relieve greasiness and make you feel refreshed. Regular consumption of Pu’er tea can also alleviate fatigue and is beneficial for kidney health.
