Five methods of tonifying kidney in old Chinese medicine
"Kidney deficiency" is the most common symptom of middle-aged and elderly people at present, which implies that the human body is transforming from health to disease, showing various functions of various systems of the body, including the disorder of immune function. If not treated in time, kidney deficiency is equivalent to "chronic suicide". In the long run, there will be real diseases in the body: hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, anemia, prostatic hyperplasia and so on.
The essence in the kidney comes from two aspects: one is the innate endowment given by parents; The second is the subtle substances produced in the acquired diet.
Since childhood, people have changed their teeth and long hair because of the gradual filling of kidney essence; In adolescence, the kidney essence is full, reaching "100" and producing a substance called "Solanum nigrum", so men can produce sperm, women begin to ovulate as scheduled, and with menstruation, men's functions gradually mature and have fertility. During this period, people's energy is also the most abundant and their thinking is the most agile.
From the age of 30, with the increase of age, the essence in the kidney began to appear physiological deficiency.
After the age of 40, kidney qi deficiency often begins to appear. If it is not replenished in time, it may become more and more scarce. In recent years, the incidence of chronic diseases in middle-aged and elderly people has doubled. The incidence of myocardial infarction, coronary heart disease, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes and other diseases tends to be younger.
Expert comment: The reason why this happens is closely related to the excessive consumption and overdraft of kidney essence in middle-aged and elderly people, which leads to the decline of the body's disease resistance. Kidney deficiency not only leads to the total loss of body essence, blood and trace elements, but also accelerates the aging of body cells.
Secret recipe 1: protect your feet.
Warm feet is a way to nourish the kidney. This is because the kidney meridian starts from the sole of the foot, and the foot is prone to cold. Therefore, feet should pay special attention to keep warm, and don't point your feet at the air conditioner or electric fan when sleeping; Don't walk barefoot in wet places for a long time. In addition, there are many acupoints on the soles of the feet, such as Yongquan point. "The kidney comes from the spring, and the spring is full." Before going to bed every night, you can press Yongquan point on the soles of your feet. Massage Yongquan point can tonify kidney and solidify essence.
Secret recipe 2: diet protects kidney
There are many foods that can tonify the kidney. Besides black sesame, black fungus, black rice and black beans, walnuts, leeks, shrimps and sheep kidneys can also tonify the kidney.
Secret recipe 3: drink water to nourish the kidney
Water is the source of life. Insufficient water and fluid may cause turbid toxin retention and increase the burden on the kidney. Therefore, drinking water regularly is a very important way to tonify the kidney.
Secret recipe 4: don't endure urine.
When the urine stored in the bladder reaches a certain level, it will stimulate the nerves and produce micturition reflex. At this time, you must go to the toilet in time to discharge the urine. Otherwise, the accumulated urine will become turbid and invade the kidneys. Therefore, timely excretion of urine is one of the best ways to nourish the kidney.
Secret recipe five: swallowing body fluid and nourishing kidney
The saliva in the mouth is divided into two parts: the sparse saliva is mainly spleen; The thick is saliva, which is dominated by the kidney. You can do an experiment and spit it out as soon as there is saliva in your mouth. In less than a day, you will feel weak and tired. This in turn proves that swallowing body fluid can nourish kidney essence and protect kidney.
Good food-good kidney and good nutrition.
Potato and egg pancakes
I prepared two potatoes, but only one was used. Put the shredded potatoes into the pot, add some salt to increase the bottom taste, and blanch until it is 80% cooked. Get the eggs ready for use. Soak the half-cooked shredded potatoes in cold water. Drain the cooled shredded potatoes with cold water, add appropriate amount of spiced powder and black pepper, then pour in two eggs and beat the remaining one well for later use. Hot pot cools oil. The oil temperature is about 70% hot, put the shredded potatoes into the pot. Spread the shredded potatoes in the pot with chopsticks. The thinner the better. If you think the bottom of the pot is too dry to form, you can pour the spare egg liquid into it. After the bottom is set, spread it on a plate for easy turning. Turn the shredded potatoes on the top plate over and continue frying in the pan. Fry until both sides are formed, and then take out the pot. Because the shredded potatoes have been blanched to 80% maturity before frying, the shredded potatoes are ripe at this time.
Fried noodles with leeks and eggs
Ingredients: dried eggs, leeks (washed and diced), noodles (blanched and cooled). Take out the dried eggs and cut them on the chopping board. Heat oil in a wok, add chopped leeks and dried eggs and stir fry. Then, add the cooled noodles and stir fry. Then, add the right amount of soy sauce. Add the right amount of salt. Season and stir well.
Sesame pumpkin pie
Wash and peel the pumpkin, put it in a small pot, add a little water and cook it on low heat. When it becomes soft, pour out the excess water and mash the pumpkin. After cooling, put on gloves and knead the pumpkin dough, find out the lumps, continue to knead until it is fine, and then continue to cool for later use. After the pumpkin dough is cooled, add glutinous rice flour and add it bit by bit until the dough is no longer sticky. Move to the panel and continue to add glutinous rice flour to knead into a smooth dough. This has been basically completed. Grab a small ball and knead it into a very smooth ball in the palm of your hand. After flattening, add white sesame seeds and stick them on both sides. Spare. Heat the oil in the pan, and put down the sesame dough when the oil is warm. Fry over low heat. Turn both sides golden. Delicious and simple sesame pumpkin pie is ready. When you eat it the next day, you just need to steam it.
New shrimp week
Wash about a catty of rice first, put ginger slices and rice together in a pot and add water. Water is 2.5 times that of rice. Casserole is cooked on fire, and rice is cooked on slow fire. After the rice blooms, add the prawns and cook for a few minutes. Then add salt, chicken essence, vegetable oil and sesame oil in turn.
2. Bad habit of hurting the kidney
1, don't like drinking water.
Most men are not interested in drinking water, or even think it is unimportant, but in fact it is easy to cause great physical harm. Metabolic wastes in our bodies are mainly treated by the liver and kidneys. The kidney, which accounts for only 65,438+0% of the body weight, receives 65,438+0/4 of the total cardiac output, and 65,438+0-2 liters of blood pass through the kidney every minute. Therefore, the kidney receives far more waste than other internal organs and organs. The most important thing for the kidney is to regulate the water-electrolyte balance in the human body, metabolize the wastes produced by physiological activities and excrete them with urine, but when it performs these functions, it needs enough water to assist.
Solution: Drink plenty of water to develop the habit of drinking plenty of water, which can dilute the urine discharged quickly and let it go, not only to prevent stones, but also to dilute the urine when eating too much salt, thus protecting the kidneys.
2. Eat painkillers indiscriminately
Studies have shown that long-term use of mixed painkillers will force the blood flow rate of the human body to decrease, which will seriously affect the function of the kidney. In addition, it is worth noting that patients with renal failure caused by painkillers are also more likely to develop bladder cancer.
Solution: Don't take painkillers for a long time.
No matter what kind of painkillers you take, they are only suitable for occasional use, and you must never take them for a long time. If you need to rely on painkillers for a long time, you must see a doctor for a thorough examination.
Step 3 eat too much salt
Salt is an important culprit to increase the burden on the kidneys. 95% of the salt in our diet is metabolized by the kidneys. If we eat too much salt, it will increase the burden on the kidneys. In addition, sodium in salt will make it difficult for the human body to excrete water, further increasing the burden on the kidneys, which will lead to the decline of renal function.
Solution: Control the salt intake.
Scientific daily salt intake should be controlled within 6 grams, of which 3 grams can be obtained directly from daily food. Therefore, the seasoning of food should be kept within 3-5 grams. It is worth noting that there is a lot of salt in instant noodles, so people who often eat less are the best.
4. Excessive pressure leads to an increase in blood pressure.
Hypertension has become a great threat to modern people's health, which is largely caused by the excessive pressure of life and work, thus indirectly affecting the normal operation of the kidney. The common symptom of stress is insomnia. The average blood pressure of men is 5 5- 10/0mmhg higher than that of women, while insomnia will increase blood pressure by 2-5mm on average.
Solution: Pay attention to your blood pressure.
It is generally difficult for young people to find out their high blood pressure, so no matter how old they are, it is best to measure their blood pressure every once in a while to prevent blood pressure from rising due to staying up late and excessive pressure.
5. Eat drugs and food of unknown origin.
Acute renal failure caused by eating strange foods such as snake gall or grass carp gall is not uncommon. Many people even blindly take traditional Chinese medicine for aphrodisiac because of curiosity. In fact, many traditional Chinese medicines contain aristolochic acid and other nephrotoxic components, which will not only do great harm to the kidneys, but also cause danger to the whole body.
Solution: Don't risk eating.
Although fish gall or snake gall is often claimed to have the efficacy of strengthening yang, clearing away heat and toxic materials or treating acne, even fish gall or snake gall used in traditional Chinese medicine must be specially treated to understand its toxicity, so don't take it blindly.
6, love to drink beer
If you have kidney disease and drink a lot of beer without restriction, uric acid deposition will lead to renal tubular obstruction and renal failure.
Solution: Urine test every year.
If there is something wrong with the kidney during the blood test, I am afraid that the renal function has been seriously damaged at this time. Instead of waiting for a blood test to understand the kidney, it is better to have a urine test regularly, because urine test is the easiest and quickest way to understand the kidney.
7. Improper consumption of fruits and vegetables
It is a common idea that eating more vegetables and fruits is good for health. However, for people with chronic renal insufficiency, vegetables and fruits, which are usually considered to help naturally lower blood pressure, contain high potassium, but long-term consumption will lead to impaired renal function. In fact, for people with poor renal function, potassium is also a component that will aggravate the work of the kidney, which is very harmful to the kidney.
Solution: Eat fruits and vegetables scientifically.
If you have chronic renal insufficiency, you should pay attention to eating fruits and vegetables properly so as not to affect your kidneys. Don't drink too strong fruit and vegetable juice, hot pot soup and vegetable soup, and have a light diet.
8. Replace boiled water with drinks.
Most men don't like the lightness of boiled water. In contrast, carbonated drinks such as soda and cola or drinks such as coffee naturally become the best substitute for boiled water. However, the caffeine contained in these drinks often leads to an increase in blood pressure, which is one of the important factors that damage the kidney.
Solution: Drink less drinks and more boiled water.
Try to avoid drinking too many drinks, use boiled water instead, and insist on drinking 8 cups of boiled water every day to promote the timely discharge of toxins in the body.
9. Eat too much meat
The American Food Association once suggested that the human body's daily intake of protein is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight, which means that a person weighing 50 kilograms can only consume 40 grams of protein every day, so he can't eat more than 300 grams of meat a day, so as not to cause too much damage to the kidneys.
Solution: Eat a proper amount of protein.
If urine protein is found in urine, eating too much meat will damage renal function in the long run. The intake of meat and bean products per meal should be controlled at the palm size of about 0.5 cm thick. If there are people with chronic nephritis, this amount should be reduced.
