Taboos for men to strengthen their kidneys and enhance their sexual performance

1. Men’s kidney deficiency is mostly “self-inflicted”

1. Abuse of analgesics

Long-term or large-dose use of some anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, such as painkillers, indomethacin, acetaminophen, aspirin, etc., can easily cause kidney damage.

2. Overdose of certain Chinese herbal medicines

Clinically, Chinese herbal medicines that can "damage the kidney" include: Tripterygium wilfordii, Aristolochia chuanxiong, Fructus niudici, Fructus serratae, Poppy shell, Rhizoma aconitifoliae, Fructus quisqualis, Aristolochia dahuricae, Radix fangji, etc. Among them, Tripterygium wilfordii causes the greatest damage to the kidney, followed by Aristolochia chuanxiong.

3. Excessive drinking

Excessive intake of soft drinks and sports drinks will indirectly damage the kidneys. The pH value of the human body is 7.2 . These drinks are generally highly acidic. After drinking, the pH value of the body changes significantly.

4. Eating bread that is too soft

There is a food additive called potassium bromate in bread and pastries. It tastes soft, but excessive consumption can damage the central nervous system, blood and kidneys.

5. Overeating

Modern people have more opportunities to have dinner together, and often eat too much "delicacies". Most of these wastes are excreted through the kidneys. Excessive eating will undoubtedly increase the burden on the kidneys.

6. Drink strong tea after drinking alcohol

Some people think that drinking strong tea after drinking alcohol can help them sober up , but this is not only ineffective, but can also damage the kidneys. Experts say that the alkaloids in tea can quickly affect the kidneys and act as a diuretic. At this time, the alcohol is excreted from the kidneys before it has time to be broken down, causing the kidneys to be stimulated by a large amount of ethanol, thereby damaging kidney function.

7. Eating too salty food

A salty diet can cause high blood pressure , which prevents the kidneys from maintaining normal blood flow and thus induces kidney disease.

8. Frequently holding urine

Some people hold their urine for a long time due to busy work. Experts remind that holding urine can lead to urinary tract infection and pyelonephritis. Once such infection recurs, it can lead to chronic infection, which is difficult to cure. 《《Excellent Recommendation: Autumn nourishing kidney and tonifying deficiency is the "hard" truth

9. Drinking too little water

If you don't drink water for a long time, the amount of urine will decrease, and the concentration of waste and toxins carried in the urine will increase. Common clinical kidney stones and kidney hydrops are closely related to not drinking water for a long time.

2. Be careful of kidney damage if you eat kidneys carelessly

Around us, ordering a few skewers of lamb kidneys when eating barbecue is a favorite of many men. In addition, influenced by traditional concepts such as "you are what you eat", many men's tables are indispensable for bull whip, lamb kidney, pork liver, chicken kidney and other foods that have aphrodisiac functions or contain zinc.

High levels of heavy metals in internal organs

Animal offal contains a large amount of sex hormones and adrenal cortex hormones, which can enhance sperm motility and increase sexual desire. It is a popular aphrodisiac and a common food on people's tables.

However, the viscera of animals that seem to be able to enhance male sexual function actually hide the risk of infertility. Recently, experts in Taiwan pointed out that the livers and kidneys of pigs, cattle, and sheep all contain different levels of heavy metal cadmium. In the food contaminant monitoring data published by the Hubei Provincial Health Department, the content of cadmium in animal kidneys exceeded the national standard by 100 times.

Cadmium can induce degenerative changes in the structure and function of male testicles, epididymis and other tissues and organs, ultimately leading to a decline in reproductive capacity. In addition to heavy metal cadmium, lead can also directly act on the core organ of the male reproductive system, the testicle, causing a decrease in sperm count, an increase in sperm deformity, and a decrease in sperm motility, affecting fertility.

Excessive intake will accumulate in the body.

Theoretically, the human body has a certain detoxification ability, and toxic substances will not accumulate in the body. However, if excessive intake occurs, the body's own detoxification ability will be insufficient, causing toxic substances to accumulate in the body. When a certain amount is reached, an explosion effect will occur. Not only heavy metals, but also animal viscera have high fat and cholesterol content. Animal viscera are easily contaminated by pathogenic microorganisms and parasites. If they are not cooked thoroughly, it will increase the chance of people contracting diseases.

Some people eat animal organs with the mentality of "what you eat is what you need", but patients with kidney disease should not eat too much animal kidneys, because patients with renal insufficiency need to limit nutrient intake. Animal kidneys have high cholesterol content, and excessive consumption may increase the burden on the kidneys and further deteriorate kidney function.

The effects on sperm are reversible

There are many causes of oligospermia and asthenospermia, the most common of which are varicocele, genital tract infection, immunosuppression, endocrine disorders, taking foods and medicines that affect sperm production, etc. The cause of oligospermia and asthenospermia should be systematically examined before symptomatic treatment can be given.

For those who have a decrease in sperm count due to taking drugs that affect sperm production or eating a lot of animal viscera, which leads to infertility, as long as these behaviors that inhibit sperm production are stopped, sperm count can return to normal levels after a period of recovery. Those who like to eat animal viscera and are worried about infertility can go to the hospital for a sperm quality test.

Animal offal has nutritional value and is rich in trace elements such as iron and zinc and a variety of vitamins. Eating these animal offal can effectively supplement the body's needs for these trace elements and nutrients.

Many men love to eat animal offal, but they should pay attention to the amount they consume. It is recommended to eat animal offal once or twice a week at most, and the amount consumed each time should not exceed 50 grams. In addition, when eating animal offal, it is best to pair it with more coarse grains and vegetables to supplement dietary fiber. Animal offal contains bile acid, and coarse grains and vegetables have a binding force with bile acid, which can increase the excretion of bile acid and reduce the absorption of cholesterol, thereby achieving the health care effect of lowering blood lipids.
