What is the reason for the cold waist?

If we don't keep warm and let our waist get cold for a long time, we may experience some discomfort. What is the reason for the coldness on both sides of the waist of men? In fact, this is probably caused by kidney deficiency. Because the sides of our waist are the location of the kidneys, if we work hard for a long time or don't pay attention to our health, it is easy to get kidney deficiency. Kidney deficiency can be treated through diet therapy or Chinese medicine.

Kidney deficiency refers to the deficiency of kidney essence, qi, yin and yang. There are many types of kidney deficiency, the most common of which are kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency. Symptoms of kidney deficiency: The symptoms of kidney yang deficiency are backache, cold limbs, chills, and even edema, which are symptoms of "cold". Poor sexual function can also lead to kidney yang deficiency. The symptoms of kidney yin deficiency are "heat", mainly including backache, dryness, sweating, sweating, dizziness, tinnitus, etc. Modern science has proven that when a person suffers from kidney deficiency, whether it is kidney yin deficiency or kidney yang deficiency, it will lead to a decrease in the person's immune ability. More evidence shows that when kidney deficiency occurs, the kidney's immune ability decreases, and the kidney's microcirculation system will also be blocked, and the kidney arteries will be blocked. Therefore, the treatment of kidney deficiency should be a combination of prevention and treatment.

Causes of Kidney Deficiency

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, and the pH value of the body changes significantly after drinking.

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.
