Men in cold winter need to pay attention to these life details when tonifying the kidneys and nourishing the essence

The winter diet has its own characteristics. Some hot foods, such as lamb and dog meat, can be used to promote kidney function and high calorie production. Those with weak physical constitution can consume them appropriately, and chocolate and other foods do not need to be avoided. And eat less cold foods. When eating cold foods such as crabs, it is recommended to add heated yellow wine and ginger shreds to help drive out the cold.

In addition, the diet should not be too salty, as the salty taste enters the kidneys, making the kidney water colder, affecting the deficiency of heart yang and having adverse effects on the heart.

Moderate living and nourishing kidney essence

Scientific living and exercise can help maintain kidney essence. Winter is the key to hiding. At this time, people should not disturb the yang qi. They should lie down early and wake up late. It is best to wait until the sun comes out and the sunlight is exposed, and they should also not let their skin sweat too much.

Due to the fact that the kidney is responsible for absorbing qi, people in winter should not be lazy or inactive. Instead, they should engage in more physical activities within their capabilities to improve their disease resistance. In addition, in winter, people are in a state of "yin flourishing and yang declining", so strengthening the warmth of the back helps to increase the yang qi in the kidneys.

The kidney corresponds to the panic in the seven emotions, so once extreme mental tension occurs, it may cause kidney qi deficiency or blood deficiency with insufficient heart strength. Excessive emotions of fear can also harm kidney qi, and fear can lead to depression. According to the dialectical principle of traditional Chinese medicine, winter diseases often occur in the kidney meridian and manifest in the waist and thigh, with diseases mostly in the limbs. In winter, as long as one is good at maintaining yang qi and not damaging muscles, various facial and neck diseases such as nosebleeds will not occur in spring.

Temper sexual activity to conceal essence

If you don't hide your essence in winter, you will surely get sick and warm in spring. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cold pathogenic factors are most likely to harm kidney yang, so to resist cold pathogenic factors, the first step is to nourish the kidneys. Otherwise, in spring, it will affect the body's immune system due to kidney deficiency, making it easy to get sick. Simply put, the winter climate is cold, and the human body needs a lot of energy to keep out the cold, while sexual activity consumes a lot of energy.

Therefore, when engaging in sexual activity, it is important to master moderation. In order to avoid unnecessary physical exertion in winter, it is recommended to lie in separate beds and blankets to reduce stimulation after physical contact. Why should such restrictions be imposed? From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, essence, qi, and spirit are the most important driving forces for human life, especially based on essence. Therefore, "those who are good at protecting essence will live longer, while those who excessively damage essence will inevitably experience premature aging. From the perspective of human needs, due to the decline of yang qi, sexual desire is relatively reduced, and sexual impulse is also correspondingly reduced, which is conducive to achieving ejaculation without ejaculation. In addition, influenced by autumn dryness, women's own desires will also decrease and their bodies will become dry and astringent.

In view of this, during winter sexual intercourse, it is important to act within one's capacity and not force oneself into the room, otherwise it may damage the kidneys and consume semen. Kidney dominates the bone, and symptoms such as low back pain will first appear. "Kidney injury leads to depletion of the medullary cavity, and low back pain cannot be elevated." Especially in patients with chronic diseases, it can lead to the recurrence or exacerbation of the disease. The method to self test whether sexual activity is moderate is: the next day of sexual activity, if both parties are happy and energetic, it indicates that the frequency of sexual activity is appropriate; If you experience fatigue, dizziness, or even chills the next day of sexual activity, it indicates that the frequency of sexual activity is not appropriate.

It should be noted that couples should also pay attention to health care, prolong foreplay, appropriately control sexual frequency, and pay attention to keeping warm to prevent cold during winter sexual activity.
