What men are most afraid of, “kidney deficiency" is one of them. Advertisements for “kidney supplements” can be found everywhere in our lives.
Indeed, kidney deficiency, as one of the common health problems, has hit many people, and it is not just for male friends, because - both men and women suffer from kidney deficiency!
Do weak kidneys cause back pain? Not really! Generally speaking, when the following symptoms occur, there is a possibility that the kidney is weak:
Kidney deficiency in the brain: memory loss, lack of concentration, lack of energy, reduced work efficiency.
Kidney deficiency in emotion: emotions are often difficult to control, dizziness, irritability, irritability, anxiety, depression, etc.
Kidney deficiency in the willpower: lack of confidence, lack of self-confidence, no enthusiasm for work, no passion for life, no goals and direction
Kidney deficiency in the urinary: frequent urination, delayed urination, long and clear urination, etc.
In addition, symptoms of kidney deficiency may also include:
Premature physical aging: forgetfulness and insomnia, loss of appetite, bone and joint pain, lumbar and knee pain, intolerance of fatigue, fatigue, vision loss, hearing loss, hair loss or premature whitening of the beard, loose and easy to fall teeth, etc.
Premature aging of the face: eye bags, dark circles, dull complexion, rough and dry skin, wrinkles, pigmentation, middle-aged acne, lack of skin elasticity; the voice gradually becomes hoarse, female breasts begin to sag, fat accumulates in the waist and abdomen; premature baldness in men, etc.
If you have the above symptoms, it means you are already in a state of kidney deficiency.
What are the causes of kidney deficiency? In short, there are two.
The kidneys are the foundation of the innate, harboring the essence of the innate, and insufficient essence and blood of the parents mostly leads to kidney deficiency in the children.
Unrestrained sexual intercourse and overwork will deplete kidney essence, and excessive loss of kidney essence and loss of Yang will also lead to kidney deficiency.
Otherwise, there are seven emotions in human beings, and over-excited emotions are also detrimental to health. In Suwen, it is said that “fear injures the kidneys”, which means that excessive fear will deplete the essence of the kidneys.
Prolonged fear or sudden accidental panic can also lead to weak kidney Qi, inability to control Qi, causing symptoms such as incontinence, spermatorrhea, and impotence.
Now people excessively pursue sensory stimulation. Although extreme sports, horror movies and other entertainment methods can bring happiness to everyone, the fear that is amplified in the process is also a consumption of the kidneys.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, there are five seasons in a year, and each season corresponds to an internal organ. Winter corresponds to the kidney, so the effect of kidney tonification in winter is the best.
Zhang Jingyue, a great physician of the Ming Dynasty, has also proposed to “winter cold to raise the kidney”.
Diet plays a vital role in nourishing the kidneys.
In traditional Chinese medicine, there is a saying of "five-color diet therapy", namely, green enters the liver, red enters the heart, yellow enters the spleen, white enters the lungs, and black enters the kidneys.
Therefore, often eat black foods such as black sesame, mulberries, black beans, Polygonum multiflorum, black fungus, black rice, etc can help nourish the kidneys and anti-aging.
Besides, we can also use medicated diet to treat the symptoms:
Kidney Yin Deficiency is mainly characterized by “heat”, accompanied by hot flashes and night sweats, and heat in the hands, feet and heart.
Those with severe symptoms may start sweating as soon as they lie down, even before falling asleep, which indicates kidney Yin deficiency.
