Now, many male friends often find themselves staying up late. On one hand, it’s because of their busy work schedule, often having to work late at the office. On the other hand, they simply don’t feel like sleeping, eager to spend some more time when they finally get back home. Moreover, most men, whether it’s daytime or night, don’t really like drinking water unless they are extremely thirsty. In the long run, the kidneys are easily damaged, resulting in a feeling of fatigue for male friends, even when resting in bed feeling exhausted. During a man’s shower, paying extra attention to cleaning these “3 areas” might promote kidney health!
1. Ankles
Many men are quite casual when showering, some even just quickly let water run down their bodies, thinking they aren’t that dirty and just need to wash off the sweat. The ankles are often overlooked. In fact, if you thoroughly clean and gently massage the ankles during a shower, it can greatly enhance kidney function, gradually improving kidney health.
2. Armpits
Most men unconsciously skip washing their armpits while showering, forgetting to apply body wash and rarely rinsing this area with water. During the summer, a lot of sweat is released through the armpits, which can accumulate and breed bacteria. So, properly washing the armpits daily is necessary. Additionally, there are many acupoints in the armpits closely related to the kidneys. Gently massaging these acupoints during a shower can contribute to kidney health.
3. Ears
When we think of ears, we often associate them with hearing. However, the ears have many meridians, some closely related to the kidneys. It’s advisable for male friends to clean their ears during showers to prevent odor due to lack of cleaning. Gentle ear massage can help maintain kidney health and aid in the elimination of toxins.
If your kidneys need extra care, besides cleaning the above areas regularly, consider drinking more Pu’er tea. A cup of Pu’er tea in the summer can effectively alleviate greasiness, leaving you feeling refreshed. Regular consumption of Pu’er tea can also help fight fatigue and promote kidney health.
