How can men maintain good kidney health?

The body relies on the kidneys to eliminate toxins. If the kidneys are damaged, toxins will remain in the body, affecting people's health and even fertility. Men should first pay attention to kidney detoxification to nourish their kidneys. Actively avoiding bad habits in life, drinking more water, and urinating more are the first steps to nourish the kidneys. Secondly, add foods that can help the kidneys detoxify in your diet and avoid overeating. Finally, develop the habit of regular exercise to enhance the body's disease resistance. There are many ways for men to nourish their kidneys. Please see the detailed introduction below.

Kidney strengthening exercises

1. Sit upright, with your legs naturally apart, shoulder width apart, bend your elbows and raise your arms to the side, fingers extended upward, level with your ears. Then, raise your hands until you feel a pull in your ribs, then return to the original position. Do this 3 to 5 times in a row, and 3 to 5 times a day as appropriate. Before doing the exercise, relax your whole body. Inhale when you raise your hands, and exhale when you return to the original position. Do not use too much force or too much strength. This exercise can activate the muscles and bones, open up the meridians, and at the same time, return the qi to the dantian, which can relieve the elderly, the weak, and those with shortness of breath.

2. Sit upright, bend your left arm and place it on your legs, bend your right arm and place your palm up, and do the parabolic movement 3 to 5 times. When doing the parabolic movement, throw your hands upwards, and the movement can be slightly faster. Inhale when throwing your hands upwards, and exhale when recovering. The effect of this movement is the same as the first movement.

Men should also avoid too much physical labor to nourish their kidneys, as it will damage the waist. The kidneys are on both sides of the waist, which is not conducive to kidney protection. Excessive sexual intercourse is the most harmful to the kidneys, so be moderate. Young couples can have sex 2-3 times a week, and middle-aged couples can have sex once every 2-3 weeks. This can not only protect men's kidneys, but also achieve the goal of longevity.
