Many people may encounter situations of insufficient kidney qi, which bring about various physical symptoms and may have long-term effects on health. Understanding these symptoms and the necessary measures is crucial for maintaining overall health.
The manifestations of insufficient kidney qi are diverse. For example, during the spring season, if one still feels cold in the hands and feet, it usually indicates insufficient accumulation of vital energy in the body during winter. Another sign is a preference for strong flavors and spicy foods, indicating a weakened function of the spleen and stomach that require strong taste stimulation for digestion and also implying a deficiency in kidney qi. Additionally, sustained low-grade fever during specific time periods (such as 17 to 19 o’clock daily) may signal a severe impairment of kidney qi. Involuntary leg shaking, night sweats, sudden trembling of the head during urination in elderly individuals, are also common manifestations of insufficient kidney qi.
In dealing with insufficient kidney qi, it can be alleviated through a series of measures. Firstly, adjusting dietary habits by choosing foods beneficial to the kidneys, such as wolfberries, seafood, chives, while avoiding foods that may harm the kidneys. Secondly, maintaining good lifestyle habits, ensuring adequate sleep, balanced diet, moderate exercise, such as simple anal contraction exercises that help promote blood circulation and kidney health. It is also important to avoid blind use of unverified aphrodisiac drugs to prevent additional burden on the kidneys. Additionally, paying attention to the signals your body sends, such as decreased energy, frequent colds, hearing loss, lower back pain, dark circles under the eyes, or severe hair loss, all of which are warning signs of kidney qi deficiency.
Insufficient kidney qi not only affects daily energy and immunity but also leads to a decline in various bodily functions, neglecting it for a long time may lead to more health issues. Therefore, timely identification of the above symptoms and adopting corresponding lifestyle adjustments is crucial for maintaining kidney and overall health.
