Chinese people often say that what to eat is what to supplement, and some male friends particularly love to eat "kidney", believing it can boost their yang. However, scientific research has found that pigs, cows, sheep and other animals have different levels of heavy metal cadmium in their liver and kidneys. Eating too much may cause infertility, and it is not advisable to supplement too much.
Experts believe that "nowadays, many things are under the guise of tonifying the kidneys, and men also hope that their sexual abilities will last for a long time." However, the popular belief that "tonifying the body with the form" is not scientific. Eating more animal organs may lead to decreased sperm count and infertility.
Is it reliable for men to eat kidneys to tonify their kidneys?
It can be seen that it is not reliable to eat kidneys to tonify the kidneys, but some foods do help. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the five elements of the kidney belong to water and can be replenished with black foods such as leeks, ginseng, chestnuts, dates, and agaric; People with indigestion should drink more yogurt and eat hawthorn. When tonifying, it is important to distinguish one's own constitution and pay attention to the balance of yin and yang.
People with yin deficiency can eat more goji berries. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that goji berries have a sweet taste, a calm nature, and can enter the liver, kidney, and lung meridians. They have the effect of nourishing the liver and kidney, and are a healthy medicine for improving sexual function in both men and women. People with yang deficiency should try not to eat cold foods, smoke or drink excessively.
In addition, participating in exercise appropriately is also beneficial for the kidneys. It is recommended that men massage their navel with the palm of their hands for 5-7 minutes before going to bed every night; Men who are afraid of the cold due to yang deficiency can also use the "moxibustion method" to move a lit moxa stick close to their navel. When they feel a burning sensation, they can quickly move it away and repeat this process 10 times. Long term persistence can help improve sexual ability and increase libido.
Regularly engage in waist exercises, which can promote vital energy and tonify the kidneys. You can also do more massage that stimulates the soles of the feet. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the Yongquan acupoint on the soles of the feet is the place where the turbid qi decreases. Regular massage of the Yongquan acupoint can benefit the essence, tonify the kidneys, strengthen the body, prevent premature aging, and soothe the liver and eyes, clear the throat and calm the heart, promote sleep, and increase appetite.
Traditional Chinese medicine prostate expert Kong Lingxin pointed out that in modern medicine, the kidney refers only to a physiological organ. Traditional Chinese medicine theory believes that traditional "kidney deficiency" is not a problem with the kidney, especially the "sexual dysfunction" caused by "kidney deficiency" is directly related to prostate diseases. At present, most of the so-called "kidney deficiency" in clinical practice is a comprehensive decline in prostate function caused by prostate stiffness and sclerosis. People with good prostate function have good mental health, light footsteps, good sleep, and good hearing and vision. On the contrary, people with poor prostate function often have frequent nocturnal urination, dizziness, low back pain, soft legs, dark circles under the eyes, and are prone to hair loss.
