Exercise to prevent kidney deficiency

Rub your feet every day

There are many reflex areas on the soles of the feet. Rubbing the soles of the feet regularly can help nourish the brain and kidneys, improve intelligence and calm the mind, and promote blood circulation. It can also prevent and treat forgetfulness, insomnia, indigestion, loss of appetite, abdominal distension, constipation, and diseases of the heart, liver, spleen, gallbladder, etc. There are two types of foot rubbing: dry rubbing and wet rubbing.

The specific method is to hold the front of the left foot with your left hand when rubbing dry, and rub the sole of the foot up and down 100 times with your right hand to make the sole of the foot warm; then use your left hand to rub the sole of the right foot. The intensity of rubbing should be appropriate to your comfort. When rubbing wet, put your feet in a basin of warm water, soak until your feet turn red, and then rub them according to the dry rubbing method.

Do a set of simple exercises every day (if you have time, you can do it several times in a row)

1. Stand with your feet parallel and shoulder-width apart. Look straight ahead, let your arms hang naturally, place your palms on your trouser seams, and spread your fingers naturally. Lift your heels and breathe 9 times in a row.

2. Land on your heels, inhale, slowly bend your knees and squat down, gradually turn the backs of your hands forward, with the base of your thumb facing your ankles; when your hands are close to the ground, clench them into fists with a little force (as if grabbing something), and take a deep breath.

3. Hold your breath, stand up gradually, let your hands hang down, and gradually clench your fists.

4. Exhale, stand upright, stretch your arms outward with your fists facing forward, and use your elbows to squeeze your soft ribs from both sides. At the same time, lift your body and heels up, tighten your anus, and breathe.

Do anal contraction exercises every day

Modern people's lives are tense and busy. Many people do not have enough time and energy to participate in full-body sports because they are busy with their careers. Long-term inactivity will inevitably bring hidden dangers to physical health. Such people can do anal contraction exercises.

Anal contraction is to contract the anus regularly. The so-called "rejuvenation technique" in traditional Chinese medicine includes anal contraction exercise. This exercise does not take a long time, but the effect is very significant. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as "economical and affordable".

For men, regular contraction of the anus is an effective and gentle massage for the prostate, which can promote venous return in the perineum, reduce prostate congestion and inflammation, and is very helpful for the prevention and adjuvant treatment of prostate diseases. This method can also effectively prevent perianal venous congestion, enhance the ability of the anus to resist diseases, and has a good preventive and therapeutic effect on hemorrhoids, anal fissures, prolapse of the anus, constipation, chronic colitis, etc., which are common in middle-aged and elderly people.

Daily waist massage

Massaging the waist can promote blood circulation in the area near the kidneys and also has a certain nourishing effect on the kidneys. The specific method is: rub your palms together until they are warm, then place them on both sides of the waist, with your palms facing the skin, and massage the waist up and down until you feel warm. Do it once in the morning and evening, about 200 times each time.

Soaking your feet at 9 pm is the best way to protect your kidneys

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the soles of the feet are the starting and ending points of various meridians, with more than 60 acupuncture points and reflex areas connected to the internal organs of the human body, corresponding to the five internal organs of the human body. Foot soaking can relax the meridians and improve blood circulation. Most people know that foot soaking has benefits, but many people don't know that foot soaking at different times has slightly different effects. If you want to protect your kidneys, it is best to choose to soak your feet around 9 pm for the best effect.

The reason for choosing this time period to nourish the kidney is that this is the time when the kidney meridian qi and blood are relatively weak. Soaking your feet at this time will increase the body's heat, and the blood vessels in the body will expand, which is beneficial to blood circulation, thereby promoting blood circulation in the body. At the same time, the nerves that have been tense all day and the kidneys that have been tired all day can be completely relaxed and fully regulated by soaking your feet at this time, and people will feel comfortable.

"Hot water foot bath not only nourishes the kidneys and liver, but also helps improve sleep quality." If you do a few minutes of foot massage after soaking your feet, it will be better for blood circulation and further regulate the internal organs. After soaking your feet, it is recommended not to do other activities and go to sleep after a few minutes, which will have a better kidney-tonifying effect.
