Both traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicine believe that the effect of tonifying kidney can be achieved through certain dietary choices. From the perspective of maintaining the regulatory function, then daily attention to eating these foods can tonify the kidney:

1. Foods containing protein can tonify the kidney.

Some animal proteins and legume proteins in protein, such as poultry, eggs, fish and meat, have obvious kidney-tonifying effects. Protein contains a variety of amino acids necessary for human activities, which exist in human tissues and cells. For example, arginine is an important raw material for production, which can improve sexual function and relieve fatigue.

Both bean products and fish contain more arginine. Some animal foods, such as deer whip, contain a lot of sex hormones themselves.

In addition, some foods are harmful to the kidneys. Be careful not to eat these foods when eating:

Crude cottonseed oil, pig brain, sheep brain, meatless, water chestnut, hemp seed, almond, etc. It is generally considered to be a food that is not conducive to sexual function. The reason of their influence is not very clear, but Chinese medicine believes that they have adverse effects such as damaging essence, damaging yang meridian, weakening essence and cooling kidney.

2. Proper amount of fat, vitamins and trace elements can tonify the kidney.

Androgen and estrogen in human body are mainly converted from cholesterol in fat. For long-term vegetarians, the secretion of sex hormones will be relatively reduced. Fat contains some essential fatty acids that are good at production. Lack of essential fatty acids will not only affect sperm production, but also reduce sexual desire.

Eating a proper amount of fat also helps to absorb fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamin A and vitamin E. Meat, fish and eggs contain more cholesterol, and proper intake is conducive to the synthesis of sex hormones, especially some organs of animals contain sex hormones themselves, which can be properly ingested.

In addition, zinc deficiency in human body will reduce the number of sperm and decrease sexual and reproductive functions.

Both vitamin A and vitamin E have the effects of delaying aging and avoiding decline, and have a good effect on the production of proficiency and the improvement of proficiency activities. Vitamin C also plays a positive role in maintaining sexual function.
