Many health practitioners consider nourishing the kidneys as an important measure to combat aging and prevent aging. In daily life, in addition to diet and medication, physical fitness is also an effective way to exercise. For example, the following three kidney health methods can be completed by lying in bed:
Abdominal breathing
Lie flat on the bed, close your mouth, and slowly inhale through your nose. At this time, relax your abdominal muscles as much as possible and slowly expand your lower abdomen. Then exhale through the mouth, contracting the abdominal muscles as much as possible, and concave the lower abdomen. It is not required to slow down the respiratory rate, do not hold your breath, naturally inhale deeply and exhale deeply. Just 5 minutes each time.
This is because there are 9 meridians passing through the abdomen of the human body, which are the symmetrical stomach meridian, spleen meridian, kidney meridian, liver meridian, gallbladder meridian, and the central ren meridian. Doing abdominal breathing is to stimulate these 9 meridians. Adhering to abdominal breathing for about 2 months can significantly alleviate many chronic diseases that persist, such as spleen deficiency, heartburn, hiccup, kidney yin and yang deficiency, and excessive liver fire.
Foot twisting movement
After completing abdominal breathing, bring your feet together, slowly press your toes down, then slowly lift them up as much as possible, then relax and do 30-50 times. At this point, you will feel the muscles of your ankle and lower legs sore and swollen. Then, slightly separate your feet and do 30-50 outward and inward movements on both wrists at the same time. Then turn inward and outward for another 30-50 times. By doing so, you will feel particularly comfortable with the soreness and swelling of your ankles and legs, and your legs and feet will be particularly warm.
There are three Yang meridians and three Yin meridians on the feet and legs, namely the Liver, Gallbladder, Spleen, Stomach, Kidney, and Bladder meridians. This can accelerate the circulation of Qi and blood in these six meridians. As the Qi and blood in the feet and legs are unobstructed and the turbid Qi descends, it has a good effect on treating hypertension and other diseases. People with hypertension have a good sleep state and stable blood pressure after doing foot exercises at night. Doing foot exercises in the morning before waking up can stabilize blood pressure and clear your mind. After half a month, increasing the frequency of foot exercises can achieve better results.
Hand twisting movement
After completing abdominal breathing and foot exercises, straighten your arms forward and backward to the left and right, and slowly open your hands as wide as possible. Then slowly clench your fists with force and relax. Repeat this for 10-20 times, and you will also experience a feeling of soreness in your hands and arms. Then, do both wrists 30 to 50 times outward, inward, and downward at the same time, rotating slowly and with force. Then, do both wrists 30 to 50 times inward, downward, and outward. After finishing, both hands and arms will feel very hot and have a noticeable sense of soreness.
Both hands and arms also have 6 meridians passing through, which are the heart, pericardium, lung, large intestine, small intestine, and triple energizer meridians. Moving the wrist can promote the operation of these 6 meridians, which can improve the function of corresponding organs for about 3 months. Symptoms such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, respiratory system diseases, constipation, gastrointestinal discomfort, etc. are quickly improved, and the effect is very obvious. Especially for people with insomnia, having a nap before going to sleep at night can quickly lead to falling asleep.
These three health care methods are all for strengthening and nourishing the kidneys. The kidneys warm the whole body, which is the best way to take care of oneself.
