For men, kidney deficiency can lead to premature ejaculation, impotence, and even infertility. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine states: "The upper medicine treats the disease before it becomes ill, the traditional Chinese medicine treats the desire for disease, and the lower medicine treats the already ill. So in order to prevent various physical problems and maintain a healthy physique, especially for men, it is necessary to pay attention to tonifying the kidneys.
The kidney in western medicine refers to a specific organ, which is a part of the whole urinary system. And what traditional Chinese medicine says. Kidney, although also referred to in Western medicine, essentially refers to a system in traditional Chinese medicine. There is innate essence hidden in the kidney, which comes from parents. The acquired water grain essence will also transform into essence and be hidden in the kidney. Kidney qi is the fundamental driving force of human life activities. The human body gradually develops and grows under the influence of the essence of the kidneys. Once the essence fails, people begin to age and die. This shows how important the kidney is to the human body.
As the saying goes, "Three parts of medicine, seven parts of nourishment, very preventive". For physical health, it is necessary to take precautions, rather than just trying to make up for lost sheep. When there is something wrong with the body, seek medical advice again. So for men who have been working hard for a long time, they should always take care of their kidneys and often supplement them.
But how to make up for it?
Some people believe that kidney deficiency can reduce sexual function, and that kidney deficiency means strengthening the yang and tonifying the kidney. Therefore, to prevent kidney deficiency, it is necessary to take yang boosting drugs and enhance one's sexual function. In fact, kidney deficiency is only one aspect that leads to decreased sexual function in the human body. It's like when a person falls ill, they both have headaches and fear the cold. You send them a stove to warm them up, but this obviously cannot fundamentally solve the patient's problem. So, taking tonics for kidney deficiency is not right.
The correct approach is to fundamentally supplement kidney essence, which can transform kidney qi and regulate the balance of yin and yang in the kidneys. Some people may say that since kidney deficiency can be divided into kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency, then kidney yin deficiency must nourish kidney yin, and kidney yang deficiency must nourish kidney yang. This is certainly true. However, traditional Chinese medicine believes that yin and yang are mutually reinforcing, and when tonifying yin, it is also necessary to tonify yin. Only in this way can we achieve high efficiency.
The Complete Book of Jing Yue states: "Those who are good at nourishing Yang must seek Yang in Yin, and then Yang will receive Yin assistance and infinite biochemical changes; those who are good at nourishing Yin must seek Yin in Yang, and then Yin will receive Yang rise, and the source of the spring will not be exhausted.
Therefore, I believe that in order to prevent kidney deficiency, it is necessary to often use foods that have the effect of tonifying the kidney and tonifying the essence, to keep one's kidney essence full. There are many commonly used kidney tonifying substances, such as sesame, yam, walnuts, black beans, Polygonum multiflorum, etc. Many kidney tonics use these ingredients.
I recommend a "black bean juice" that can tonify the kidney
"Black bean juice" is very simple, but we know that the main road is simple, so we can't underestimate it. Black beans, also known as black beans, have a sweet taste and a calm nature. Because black food enters the kidneys, black beans have the effect of tonifying the kidneys. Regular consumption can treat diseases, but without diseases, they can strengthen the body. It has a therapeutic effect on dry mouth and tongue, dizziness, waist and limb soreness, and limb edema caused by kidney deficiency. In fact, you can often use black beans and rice to cook porridge. However, it should be noted that legumes are generally difficult to digest, so people with weak spleen and stomach and poor digestive function should not eat more.
To prevent kidney deficiency, in addition to relying on food to nourish the kidneys, it is also important to strive for a regular routine in daily life and maintain sufficient sleep. Regular study and work require a combination of work and rest. It is best to relax during holidays, especially weekends, or go to the park to see the scenery, or go to the gym to exercise appropriately.
