Many unhealthy habits in daily life can lead to kidney deficiency in men, and the number of men suffering from it is increasing. Kidney deficiency poses significant risks to men's health, not only affecting physical well-being but also causing a decline in sexual function.
How to prevent and treat male kidney deficiency?
Perform a simple daily exercise routine (repeat multiple times if time permits)
(1) Stand with feet parallel, shoulder-width apart. Look straight ahead with arms relaxed at your sides, palms against your trouser seams, fingers naturally spread. Lift heels and take 9 consecutive breaths.
(2) Lower heels to the ground while inhaling. Slowly bend knees into a squat, gradually rotating palms forward so the web between thumb and index finger faces ankles. As hands approach the floor, clench into fists with slight force (as if grasping an object) while fully inhaling.
(3) Hold your breath while gradually standing up straight. Let your arms hang down, gradually tightening your fists.
(4) Exhale as you stand at attention. Twist your arms outward, palms facing forward. Press your elbows into your sides to squeeze your ribs. Simultaneously lift your body and heels upward while contracting your anal muscles. Breathe.
Waist Massage Exercise
I. Rub palms together until warm, then place each palm on the waist with palms facing skin. Massage the waist up and down until warmth is felt. Perform once in the morning and once in the evening, approximately 200 times per session. This exercise nourishes the kidneys and anchors the breath.
2. Make fists with both hands. With arms extended backward, use the knuckles of both thumbs to naturally massage the waist points. Perform inward circular rotations, gradually increasing pressure until a sensation of soreness and fullness is felt. Continue for about 10 minutes. Perform once in the morning, afternoon, and evening. The waist is the residence of the kidneys. Regular massage of the waist points can prevent and treat chronic muscle strain, lower back pain, and other conditions caused by kidney deficiency in middle-aged and elderly individuals.
