Men are generally over 35 years old, and due to the gradual decrease in male hormone secretion in their bodies, their skills in multiple areas of the body begin to deteriorate. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, there is a significant deficiency in kidney qi, which can manifest as thinning of hair, decreased physical strength, susceptibility to fatigue, unstable emotions, and inability to engage in sexual activity. It can be seen that when men have insufficient kidney function, they should actively engage in kidney tonifying. However, kidney tonifying should not be blind, especially in the following foods. Try to eat as little as possible, as the more they eat, the more likely they are to damage their kidneys.
1. Refined grain
Refined grains are grains such as rice and noodles that have undergone refined processing. During their processing, a large amount of zinc is lost. After long-term consumption of refined grains, men may experience a deficiency in zinc, which is an important source of male hormones. As a result, it can damage kidney qi, greatly affecting the prostate gland and men's fertility.
2. Fried food
Fried foods contain a large amount of trans fatty acids, and frequent consumption can increase cholesterol levels in the body, which can affect the secretion of male hormones. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, men's kidney qi can be affected and the vitality of their sperm can be damaged.
3. Greasy food
Fatty foods such as fat also contain a large amount of fat and cholesterol, which can cause poor blood circulation and affect the blood vessels in men's private parts. This can lead to sexual dysfunction in men. Therefore, you'd better eat less fat meat, squid, bacon and Braised pork belly.
4. Soybeans and soy products
Soybean and soy products contain abundant flavonoids, which are phytoestrogens. If consumed in large quantities, men will increase their estrogen levels, which in turn will inhibit male hormone levels. For men who already have kidney deficiency, the more they eat, the more they become deficient. Therefore, it is best for men not to consume a large amount of soybeans and soy products.
5. High Purine Food
High purine food will cause the increase of uric acid content in the human body. Foods containing high purine, such as hot pot and thick soup, will lead to the problem of hyperuricemia. High uric acid will increase the excretion burden of the kidney. Over time, it will hurt the kidney and cause various kidney problems.
The above are the foods that men should eat less if they want to nourish their kidneys. Everyone should pay more attention to them in their daily lives. So what foods can men often eat to nourish their kidneys? Here, I will continue to introduce to you.
