There are five points for men to follow in kidney tonifying: better kidney performance

I often see such TV images: a middle-aged man is grimacing and saying, "I can't do it anymore," or "I can't do it any more." Then a kidney tonic emerges, and the voiceover says, 'How can I do it after taking kidney tonic?'. If you change the channel and find another brand of kidney tonic, a woman is saying, "It's okay if he's good or I'm good." This overwhelming advertisement seems to tell people that all men in the world should tonify their kidneys. "Ten people have nine deficiencies," "fatigue is kidney deficiency," "kidney deficiency is kidney deficiency," and "kidney deficiency is kidney deficiency." Kidney deficiency is poor physiological function, and taking kidney tonic drugs can tonify their kidneys and strengthen their yang. Therefore, many people follow the trend to buy kidney tonic drugs.

So, does anyone need to tonify their kidneys? Must we tonify the kidney when we reach middle age?

The concept of kidney in traditional Chinese medicine is mainly explained from a functional perspective, covering multiple tissues and organs of the human body such as reproduction, urinary tract, nerves, and bones. It plays a role in regulating human functions and providing "vitality" and "prime mover" for life activities. "Deficiency" is mainly the result of low function and nutritional deficiency. Kidney deficiency can manifest kidney related functional impairments, such as impaired memory, low physiological function, susceptibility to fractures, anemia, inability to hold urine, and weak waist and legs. These are common symptoms in middle-aged people, but they cannot be generalized. It is believed that the occurrence of these symptoms must be kidney deficiency.

Kidney deficiency is divided into "kidney yin deficiency" and "kidney yang deficiency". In clinical practice, yin deficiency is more common than yang deficiency. The manifestations of kidney yang deficiency are pale or swarthy complexion, cold waist and knees, cold limbs, mental fatigue, and overall fatigue; Male impotence and premature ejaculation, female infertility; "The stool is irregular or urinates frequently and cleanly, with excessive nocturnal urination, and a pale tongue with white fur.". The manifestations of kidney yin deficiency are red complexion, sore waist and knees, dizziness, tinnitus, loose teeth, and alopecia; Male ejaculation, premature ejaculation, and women with oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea; Insomnia and forgetfulness, dry mouth and throat, irritability, sweating when moving, red cheekbones in the afternoon, emaciated body, yellow and little urine, red tongue with little or no fur. Kidney yin and yang regulate the whole body's yin and yang, and the growth, decline, and balance regulation of kidney yin and yang affect the dynamic balance of yin and yang in the five zang organs and six fu organs.

Kidney deficiency is a manifestation of aging in the human body. Kidney deficiency in the elderly is an irresistible physiological process caused by aging, called physiological kidney deficiency. The appearance of kidney deficiency symptoms in middle-aged people is a premature aging, called pathological kidney deficiency. For middle-aged friends, to change premature aging, it is necessary to timely replenish the kidney and improve the symptoms of kidney deficiency and aging.

Some people believe that low back pain is kidney deficiency. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. Low back pain is not necessarily kidney deficiency. Treating low back pain only by tonifying the kidney can easily delay the condition. In clinical practice, it is often seen that some chronic low back pain, such as low back pain caused by chronic lumbar muscle strain, intervertebral disc degeneration, and other diseases, is sometimes effectively treated with drugs that strengthen the kidney and yang. But not all low back pain is related to kidney deficiency. Most kidney tonifying drugs are warm in nature, and if taken by patients with damp-heat disorders such as lumbar tuberculosis, lumbar suppurative infection, and ankylosing spondylitis, their condition will worsen. Low back pain is only a symptom, and in addition to pathological changes in the bones, joints, muscles, and other tissues of the waist, it can also be caused by visceral diseases near the waist.

Some people blindly tonify the kidney, but there are many misunderstandings. There are many people in life who do not need to tonify their kidneys at all. Fatigue and age are not the criteria for defining tonifying their kidneys. If people who do not need kidney tonifying drugs take them, they will not only be unable to supplement nutrients, but also increase the burden of detoxification on the organs; Some people believe that "people who have a bad spleen and stomach in middle age should also tonify the kidney," which is also inappropriate. "There are three types of poisons in drugs," and drugs for tonifying the kidney are more harmful to people with a bad spleen and stomach. If you insist on tonifying, the body will not only be unable to absorb it, but will have side effects instead; There are also middle-aged people who believe that "physiological dysfunction is kidney deficiency", which is also an incorrect view. Physical health problems cannot be simply summed up as "kidney deficiency" and "strengthening the kidney and yang".

Clinically, many middle-aged people seek medical advice on how to solve their physiological dysfunction, and strongly suggest that they require kidney tonification. In fact, when we carefully explore their condition, most of them are caused by psychological pressure. Therefore, when encountering such a person for help, the responsible doctor will not prescribe kidney tonic drugs for him. Physiological health problems cannot be simply summed up as "kidney deficiency" and "invigorating the kidney and strengthening yang". Some illegal traders take advantage of people's misconceptions and put ingredients such as Viagra into kidney tonics, which is very dangerous for patients.
