The kidney is the foundation of the innate body and is the trump card of the body.
There is an old saying that "Winter Qi is connected to the kidney". When the cold Qi invades the kidney, the positive Qi cannot resist external evil, so it can only run out, which is manifested as the outer layer of the body is very hot, and the inside is extremely cold, so the body is still falling! Therefore, nourishing the kidney is a compulsory course for health preservation in winter!
This issue contains 4 methods of kidney nourishment recommended by old Chinese medicine doctors:
1. Pay attention to dietary supplementation and nourishing kidneys in winter. Dietary conditioning is very important. You can choose to eat some foods that warm the kidneys and strengthen yang, such as mutton; you can also eat some foods that nourish the kidneys and benefit the kidneys. Common ones include walnuts, chestnuts, longans, etc., as well as black foods, such as black rice, black beans, black sesame seeds, black fungus, black bone chicken, etc., which are very good for the body. 2. Moderate exercise
Moderate exercise is also very beneficial for nourishing the kidneys and can make the essence in the kidneys more abundant. However, be careful not to sweat too much to prevent the kidney's yin essence from being depleted and the dissipation of yang energy. Activities suitable for winter exercise include walking, jogging, playing ball, doing exercises, boxing, sword dancing, etc.
3. Protect your feet
The kidney meridian starts from the soles of the feet, and the feet are easily invaded by cold air. Therefore, pay special attention to keeping the feet warm in winter, and do not walk barefoot on the wet ground. You can also soak your feet before going to bed and press the Yongquan point on the soles of the feet, which can also nourish the kidney and consolidate essence.
4. Keep warm in the cold
Pay attention to keeping cold can better protect the kidney qi. In the cold winter, try to go to bed early, so that the body can nourish the yang energy. Close the doors and windows when sleeping to prevent colds and protect the kidneys.
The beginning of winter has passed, so nourish the kidneys and nourish the kidneys from now on!
