Kidney qi is a professional term in traditional Chinese medicine, simply put, it refers to the functional activities of the kidneys, mainly manifested as growth and development, function and reproduction and other aspects, in the kidney health, kidney essence can be converted into kidney qi, and then the body plays a role in stimulating, sealing and warming, that is, we call kidney yang.
Both men and women, only sufficient kidney qi can maintain the normal operation of various organs, but under the influence of poor living and eating habits, back pain, hair loss, frequent urination and other problems caused by insufficient kidney qi frequently occur, which inevitably affects normal work or study.
Therefore, Chinese medicine suggests that doing these two golden actions in daily life may be able to replenish kidney qi.
1. Tiptoe
The action of tiptoe is very simple, first stand on the yoga mat, the forefoot touches the ground, the back heel keeps tiptoeing up and down, the center of gravity moves with the body, of course, do not need to sink too much, otherwise it will hurt the heel.
This action does not have the requirements of time and venue, but if you insist on doing it for a few minutes a day, you can replenish kidney qi, because there are many acupuncture points on the soles of people's feet, including kidney essence points, which can stimulate it when tiptoeing.
Moreover, Chinese medicine believes that the foot and yin kidney flow along the heel under the little finger of the foot, so after the age of thirty, if the kidney qi of men is weak, they can do more tiptoe movements.
2. Massage the waist and eye points
Waist eye points are located on both sides of the back, simply put, there are two obvious depressions in the waist, for people with kidney qi deficiency, you can first rub your hands to a certain temperature every day, and then place both sides of the waist, until the waist has a feeling of heat is appropriate, once maintained for five to ten minutes, twice a day can effectively maintain the kidneys.
Of course, in addition to these two actions, if you want to replenish kidney qi, you have to do these things in life.
1. Eat healthily
One of the ways to improve the yang energy in the body, including a healthy diet, first of all, do not eat raw and cold irritating food, because the cold inside the raw and cold food is too heavy, once ingested into the human body will lead to the loss of yang, and irritating food can easily increase the metabolic burden of the kidneys.
In addition, you can eat more mutton, oysters, leeks and other foods, because the substances in them can effectively nourish yang, especially oysters, zinc is rich, if the intake is sufficient, it also helps to enhance the activity of sperm.
2. Keep exercising
Exercise is the most effective way to improve yang qi in the body, mainly because it can promote blood circulation and speed up metabolism during exercise;
In turn, the garbage toxins in the body are excreted to prevent kidney damage, and regular exercise can also help improve the problem of cold hands and feet caused by kidney deficiency.
3. Soak your feet
For people with a lack of kidney qi, you may wish to soak your feet before going to bed every day, on the one hand, it can stimulate acupuncture points, which is good for the kidneys, and on the other hand, it can promote blood circulation, warm the body, and enhance yang.
However, remind everyone that when soaking your feet, you must pay attention to the water temperature, and wipe your feet with a clean towel after the end to prevent cold from invading the body.
All in all, kidneys are important for everyone, and only with sufficient yang in the kidneys can the body avoid diseases.
However, affected by various factors, it is inevitable that there will be a lack of kidney qi, but if you master the two golden movements, including tiptoe and massage the waist and eye points, you can also replenish the kidney qi to a certain extent.
At the same time, to achieve more with less, you must also insist on exercise, eat a healthy diet and soak your feet before going to bed.
