Can chestnuts really nourish the kidneys and strengthen yang?

When it comes to nourishing the kidneys and strengthening yang, most people think that they should take some health products or medicines for nourishing the kidneys and strengthening yang, but in fact we all know that sometimes blindly using some medicines can easily cause some adverse effects on our physical health, so we should still pay more attention to the nourishing and conditioning methods of diet, and now we are going to introduce the kidney-nourishing and yang-strengthening effects of chestnuts.

There is a saying among the people that "dates in August, hawthorns in September, and chestnuts in October are all in full bloom."

Eating chestnuts raw has a better effect on nourishing the kidney and strengthening yang. Chinese medicine believes that chestnuts are sweet and warm in nature, and have the effects of nourishing the stomach and spleen, nourishing the kidneys and strengthening the tendons, promoting blood circulation and stopping bleeding, and relieving cough and phlegm. They are especially suitable for people with weak waist and knees, weak waist and feet, frequent urination, and spleen and kidney deficiency and coldness caused by kidney deficiency. Modern research believes that chestnuts are a type of dried fruit with a high carbohydrate content. They can provide more heat energy, which is beneficial for the body to resist the cold, and are more suitable for consumption in autumn and winter.

The unsaturated fatty acids, various vitamins and minerals contained in chestnuts have a good preventive and therapeutic effect on diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis and osteoporosis. Therefore, eating chestnuts regularly can help the elderly prolong their life. In addition, chestnuts are rich in riboflavin, so people who suffer from oral ulcers can eat them regularly.

In addition to being cooked, chestnuts can also be eaten raw, and eating them raw has a better kidney-tonifying effect. As early as the Tang Dynasty, the pharmacist Sun Simiao said that chestnuts are "kidney fruit" and pointed out that "eating them raw" can treat waist and leg pain, emphasizing the use of "eating them raw". If middle-aged and elderly people develop the habit of eating dried raw chestnuts every day, they can effectively prevent and treat kidney deficiency, waist and leg pain.

Eating chestnuts raw is more effective in strengthening the kidneys and boosting yang. Although chestnuts are good for health, eating too many raw ones is difficult to digest, and eating too many cooked ones can cause intestinal obstruction. Generally speaking, 5-10 chestnuts are recommended for daily consumption, especially for children, who have poor digestive abilities and should not eat too many. Because chestnuts have a high sugar content, diabetics should also stay away from chestnuts.

I believe that after reading the above introduction, you should now know whether these foods have a good effect on helping to nourish the kidneys and strengthen yang, right? Paying attention to these dietary health care in daily life can help you achieve the most ideal kidney-tonifying effect, and you don’t need to use some health care drugs yourself, so this method is safer.
