Wang Jue of Beijing Nanyuan Hospital said that when people get old, due to the gradual decline of yang, not only will their waist and knees be weak, their limbs be sore, but also their teeth will be loose and fall off, all of which are manifestations of insufficient kidney qi. Eating raw chestnut is one of the feasible methods when we start with tonifying kidney and prevent it as early as possible.

Su Zhe told the old people how to eat chestnut and tonify the kidney in a scientific way: every morning and evening, put fresh chestnut in your mouth and chew it carefully until it is full of white pulp, and then slowly swallow it again and again, so that you can get better nourishing and therapeutic effects. If middle-aged and elderly people develop the habit of eating 5~ 10 slices of air-dried raw chestnuts every morning and evening, it can effectively prevent kidney deficiency, backache and leg pain.
