Why do men need to nourish their kidneys?

Female friends are more concerned about weight loss, beauty and other topics, while male friends talk most about how to nourish the kidneys and improve the quality of sex life. According to traditional Chinese medicine, male friends are prone to kidney deficiency, mainly because of the high pressure of life, hard work and constant tension, so the kidneys are easily unable to bear it, leading to kidney deficiency. So, why do men need to nourish the kidneys?

An old Chinese doctor explains: Why is kidney tonic so important for men?

When a man has kidney deficiency, he will experience various discomfort symptoms such as backache, dizziness, tinnitus, etc. Chinese medicine believes that kidney deficiency is the deficiency of kidney essence, yin and yang. In addition, it can also cause mental fatigue, impotence, male infertility, forgetfulness, hair loss, menopausal syndrome and other diseases. The causes of kidney deficiency can be attributed to two aspects: one is congenital deficiency, and the other is acquired factors. From the causes and symptoms, it can be seen that kidney deficiency is harmful to men. Therefore, it is very important for men to nourish the kidney. Let's take a look at the congenital and acquired factors that induce kidney deficiency.

Congenital factors causing kidney deficiency

From the perspective of the congenital factors that cause kidney deficiency, the first is weak congenital endowment. The chapter "Lingshu·Shoutiangangrou" says: "When a person is born, he has hardness and softness, weakness and strength." Pregnancy when parents are weak and sickly, when the essence and blood are deficient, or when having sex after drinking, or when the essence and energy are greatly reduced after the age of fifty, or when both men and women are not old enough and the body is not fully developed, or when giving birth to too many children, the essence and blood are excessively consumed; or when the pregnancy period is not properly maintained, the fetal qi is insufficient, etc., can all lead to kidney essence and energy deficiency, which is an important cause of kidney deficiency. Secondly, dysfunction of the kidney's sperm storage function will lead to sexual dysfunction, decreased reproductive function, and affect reproductive capacity, which will cause the next generation to be physically weak, or have congenital malformations, dementia, defects, low sperm count and infertility in men, premature ejaculation, etc.

1. Irregular life: Smoking, drinking, irregular work and rest schedules, overwork, etc. will damage the kidneys in the long run and cause kidney deficiency.

2. Excessive stress: High-pressure living conditions cause most people to suffer tremendous physical and mental stress, which makes them physically and mentally exhausted and their energy declines, resulting in insomnia, fatigue, irritability, loss of appetite, bad temper, neurasthenia and other symptoms of kidney and brain deficiency.

3. Excessive sexual intercourse: Excessive sexual intercourse can directly damage the body's kidney essence and cause kidney deficiency. In addition, bad habits, such as excessive masturbation, can also induce kidney deficiency.

Kidney problems are very hidden and helpless for men. Patients should not stay up late, go to bed early and get up early, try to relax and go out for a walk more. Nowadays, there are many men with kidney problems, but because it is not a fatal disease, many people do not take it seriously. It will be too late when their kidneys fail completely.
