All men in the world need this supplement

We often see such TV pictures: a middle-aged man is frowning and saying "I can't do it anymore", "Nothing works", and then a kidney tonic appears, and the voice-over says that taking the kidney tonic will make you feel so good. If you change the channel, you will see another brand of kidney tonic, and a woman is saying "If he is good, I am good too"... This overwhelming advertisement seems to tell people: all men in the world should take kidney tonic, "Nine out of ten men have kidney deficiency", "Fatigue is kidney deficiency", "Kidney deficiency should be supplemented", kidney deficiency means poor sexual function, and taking kidney tonic can supplement the kidney and strengthen virility. Therefore, many people follow the trend and buy kidney tonic.

So, does everyone need to nourish the kidneys? Is it necessary to nourish the kidneys when you reach middle age?

Traditional Chinese medicine explains the concept of kidney mainly from the perspective of function, covering the reproductive, urinary, nervous, bone and other tissues and organs of the human body, which play the role of regulating human functions and providing "vitality" and "original power" for life activities. "Deficiency" is mainly the result of low function and nutrient deficiency. Kidney deficiency will show the decline of kidney-related functions, such as memory loss, sexual dysfunction, easy fracture, anemia, urinary retention, sore waist and legs, etc. These are common symptoms in middle-aged people, but we cannot generalize and think that the above symptoms are definitely kidney deficiency.

Kidney deficiency is divided into "kidney yin deficiency" and "kidney yang deficiency". In clinical practice, yin deficiency is more common than yang deficiency. The symptoms of kidney yang deficiency are pale or dark complexion, sore waist and knees, cold limbs, mental fatigue, and general weakness; men suffer from impotence and premature ejaculation, decreased libido; unformed stool or frequent and long urination, frequent urination at night, and pale tongue with white fur. The symptoms of kidney yin deficiency are red complexion, sore waist and knees, dizziness and tinnitus, loose teeth and hair loss; men suffer from spermatorrhea and premature ejaculation; insomnia and forgetfulness, dry mouth and throat, irritability, sweating when moving, red cheeks in the afternoon, weight loss, yellow and scanty urine, and red tongue with little or no fur. The kidney's yin and yang govern the yin and yang of the entire body. The changes and balance of the kidney's yin and yang affect the dynamic balance of the yin and yang of the internal organs.

Kidney deficiency is a manifestation of human aging. Kidney deficiency in the elderly is an irresistible physiological process caused by aging, which is called physiological kidney deficiency. Kidney deficiency symptoms in middle-aged people are a kind of premature aging, which is called pathological kidney deficiency. For middle-aged friends, to change premature aging, they should replenish the kidney in time and improve the symptoms of kidney deficiency aging.

Some people think that low back pain is caused by kidney deficiency. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. Low back pain is not necessarily caused by kidney deficiency. Using only kidney-tonifying methods to treat low back pain can easily delay the disease. In clinical practice, some chronic low back pain is common, such as low back pain caused by chronic lumbar muscle fatigue, intervertebral disc degeneration and other lesions. Kidney-tonifying and yang-enhancing drugs are sometimes effective. But not all low back pain is related to kidney deficiency. Most kidney-tonifying drugs have warm properties. If patients with damp-heat syndromes such as lumbar tuberculosis, lumbar suppurative infection, and ankylosing spondylitis take them, their condition will be aggravated. Low back pain is just a symptom. In addition to diseases of the bones, joints, muscles and other tissues in the waist, low back pain can also be caused by diseases of the internal organs near the waist.

Some people blindly nourish the kidneys, but there are actually many misunderstandings here. There are many people in life who do not need to nourish the kidneys at all. Fatigue and age are not the criteria for defining kidney nourishment. If people who do not need kidney nourishment take kidney nourishing medicine, not only will they not be able to replenish nutrients, but they will also increase the burden of detoxification on the organs; some people think that "people in middle age with poor spleen and stomach should also nourish the kidneys", which is also inappropriate. "All medicines are three-point poisonous", kidney nourishing medicines are more harmful to people with poor spleen and stomach. If you insist on nourishing, the body will not only be unable to absorb it, but will have side effects; some middle-aged people also think that "sexual dysfunction is kidney deficiency", which is also an incorrect view. Sexual health problems cannot be simply attributed to "kidney deficiency" and "need to nourish the kidneys to strengthen yang".

In clinical practice, many middle-aged people seek help from doctors on how to solve their sexual dysfunction, and strongly suggest that they should take kidney tonics. In fact, if we carefully examine their conditions, most of them are caused by psychological pressure. Therefore, when encountering such people, responsible doctors will not prescribe kidney tonics for them. Sexual health problems cannot be simply attributed to "kidney deficiency" and "needing kidney tonics to strengthen yang". Some unscrupulous merchants take advantage of people's misunderstandings and put drug ingredients in kidney tonics, which is very dangerous to patients.

It is not difficult to see that the key to nourishing and protecting the kidneys lies in daily life. The following key points need to be mastered by middle-aged men.

1. Regular waist movement can help the waist qi and blood circulate smoothly and continuously replenish the kidney qi. Appropriate exercise can improve physical fitness, activate thinking, strengthen muscles and bones, promote the digestion and absorption of nutrients, and thus consolidate the kidney qi.

2. Sexual life should be moderate, neither forced nor indulgent.

3. Here is a small "prescription" for you in terms of diet: when you feel weak and tired, eat more foods containing iron and protein, such as black fungus, dates, black chicken, etc.; those with indigestion should drink more yogurt and eat hawthorn; to protect your kidneys on a daily basis, you should eat more leeks, sea cucumbers, ginseng, black chicken, pigeons, etc.

4. Do some self-massage activities on the waist. These exercises can strengthen the life gate, nourish the kidney and absorb qi. You can also do more massages to stimulate the soles of the feet. Chinese medicine believes that the Yongquan point on the soles of the feet is where turbid qi descends. Frequent massage of the Yongquan point can replenish essence and kidney, strengthen the body, prevent premature aging, soothe the liver and improve eyesight, clear the throat and calm the mind, promote sleep, and increase appetite.

5. Sufficient sleep is also an important guarantee for restoring energy and spirit. No matter how stressful your work is or how many worries you have at home, you must rest on time when it is time to go to bed.

Once you have done this, you don't need to look for kidney-tonifying medicines or health products anymore.
