In China, the concept of 'men should nourish the kidneys' has deeply rooted in people's hearts. Even when drinking alcohol, masturbating, or eating snacks, don't forget to tonify the kidneys and boost yang.
At the late night barbecue stall, in addition to grilled meat and beer, there are always several "meaningful" foods: leeks, oysters, kidney flowers... In a few places, even "dark dishes" such as eggs and whips are provided.
I don't know how many men who love to order these skewers are motivated by the desire to taste delicious food, and even if there are, they are often accompanied by tacit caution such as "this thing is great for tonifying the kidneys and strengthening the yang".
Are these foods really effective?
1. Leek
As a vegetable, it is able to stand out at barbecue stalls. In addition to being cheap and delicious, the popularity of leeks probably stems from its long-standing reputation as a "sunflower".
In fact, besides being called "jiu" vegetables, leeks really have nothing to do with tonifying the kidneys and enhancing yang.
Chives are rich in dietary fiber and can stimulate intestinal peristalsis. Eating a little can make the intestines smoother.
Eating too much not only makes it easy to get stuck between teeth, but if you forget to brush your teeth, you may even be kicked out of bed by the goddess.
2. Oysters
Oysters, also known as oysters, are not only delicious but have always been at the forefront of the list of aphrodisiac foods.
Scientific research has confirmed that zinc is an important component of sperm, and oysters are well-known zinc rich foods. So, eating oysters appropriately can help improve sperm quality and play an important role in gonadal health, which is true.
Improving sperm quality and improving sexual ability are completely different things. Expect to eat a few more oysters and see immediate results at night, with hundreds of rounds of lively battles, at most playing a psychological role as a 'placebo'.
Moreover, if you want to tonify your kidneys by eating oysters, it depends not only on whether your wallet can tolerate it, but also on whether your body can tolerate it.
Like most seafood, oysters are rich in purines. After a seafood feast, I may not have woken up due to sexual arousal, and my knee joint is already slightly sore.
In addition, in most coastal areas of China, heavy metals in some seafood exceed the standard. Shellfish have a higher ability to accumulate heavy metals than fish, and the risk of large intake is not small.
3 waists
Chinese people have always had a dietary habit of "supplementing the form with the form". But just like a pig's brain does not nourish the brain, roasted kidney flowers do not nourish the kidneys.
Whether it's pork kidneys, beef kidneys, or lamb kidneys, they are all high in fat and cholesterol. For those who are prone to "three highs", eating more is not beneficial.
In addition, the kidneys are the excretory organs of animals, and they are the most prone to the accumulation of toxins and heavy metals
