Do you think there is a difference between how men and women take a shower? Generally, men shower faster than women. Apart from removing dirt from the body, what other effects does showering have on the body?
With the development of technology, more and more household appliances have entered people’s lives, especially water heaters and solar heaters. With a water heater, hot water is available, allowing people to shower at home anytime.
Showering helps us clean off grease and dirt from our bodies while also allowing us to relax both physically and mentally, relieving fatigue from the day, and to some extent, can improve sleep quality.
Due to the physiological differences between men and women, male friends in front of the screen may consider slowing down while showering, taking time to properly scrub each part of their body, especially these three areas, which may enhance kidney function.
1. Waist
As we know, the kidneys are located in our lower back, one on each side, and play a crucial role in our body.
Therefore, men should take the opportunity to massage their lower back while showering, which can promote kidney function and local blood circulation, helping to quickly excrete accumulated waste and toxins from the body, thus improving kidney health.
This is especially important for those who sit for long periods, as a lack of movement, especially in the lower extremities, can cause poor blood circulation, leading to aches and pains in the lower back. In such cases, a local massage of the waist may alleviate back pain.
Tip: If the blood circulation speed around the kidneys is stable, it can promote kidney function to some extent and effectively prevent kidney disease.

However, it’s important to realize that ankles are very prone to harboring bacteria and dirt. This is more problematic in summer, as poor cleaning can lead to dirt hiding in the ankle area.
Most importantly, there is a point called the Tai Xi acupoint located in the ankle, and regular massage of this point can promote kidney function and improve kidney circulation.
If you often experience cold hands and feet, consider massaging your ankles frequently while showering; this may alleviate the sensation of cold extremities and also improve sleep quality.
3. Ears
Male friends in front of the screen, it is recommended to massage your ears while showering, which can better maintain kidney health and enhance kidney function.
From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, kidney energy connects to the ears. Therefore, appropriately massaging the ears and the surrounding skin while showering can promote blood circulation around the ears, improve kidney function, and alleviate kidney deficiency.
1. Lack of energy
If there are problems with kidney function, waste products from metabolism can accumulate in the body over time, leading to a lack of energy, weakness in the limbs, and increased drowsiness.
If there are issues with kidney function, men may lose nutrients more quickly, resulting in a lethargic appearance and reduced strength.
If you notice you are experiencing such symptoms, it could be related to kidney deficiency, so it is advisable to consume foods that nourish the kidneys and replenish energy and blood.
2. Frequent lower back pain
Since the kidneys are located in the lower back, if there are issues with the kidneys, the lower back can also be affected, leading to soreness.
Generally, if kidney function is weak, it can make it difficult to stand upright and result in physical weakness. This is mainly due to poor blood circulation and insufficient kidney energy in the body.
