Men’s kidney-tonifying medicine in winter focuses on the cultivation of lifestyle

1. Go to bed early and get up late: In winter, if the kidneys are weak, go to bed early and get up early to cultivate good living habits. The natural law of winter is the natural law of the day. It gets dark early and the sun rises late, so it is best for people to go to bed early at night and get up relatively late in the morning, but it is also best to wait for the sun to rise before getting up, which is conducive to the absorption of Yang Qi.

2. Exposure to sunlight: Spending more time in the sun can help replenish Yang energy. Sunlight is the largest Yang energy in nature. In winter, you can stimulate the body's Yang energy by basking in the sun. People's heads and backs should be exposed to the sun more often. Because the head is the place where Yang Qi gathers, but be careful to avoid your eyes to avoid sunburn. Basking on the back warms the body and helps prevent colds.

3. Soak your feet more: Men with kidney deficiency can soak their feet more in winter. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the soles of the feet are the beginning and end of the meridians, with more than 60 acupuncture points and acupuncture points connected to the internal organs and organs of the human body. The reflection areas correspond to the internal organs of the human body. Soaking feet can relax meridians, activate meridians, and improve blood circulation. Therefore, foot soaking in hot water can nourish the kidneys and invigorate the liver, which is very suitable for health preservation in winter.

4. Don’t get diarrhea: In winter, men can also exercise to control their body and mind and restrain their selfish desires, thus strengthening the kidneys and strengthening the essence. But in winter, the skin should not be too exposed, so winter sports are not suitable for sweating profusely, and the water temperature when soaking feet should not be too high, as sweating may make you more likely to get sick.

Kidney deficiency is a common disease in men. Therefore, when winter comes, men must eat more foods that can help nourish the kidneys. For example, we introduced four types of porridge and soup above. Raw rehmannia glutinosa and sesame porridge, black sesame and sea cucumber soup, walnut crucian carp, and longevity pigeon egg soup are all very suitable foods for men to warm the liver and kidneys and nourish blood and qi in winter.
