Generally speaking, the deficiency of middle-aged men mainly refers to the result of low sexual function and lack of nutrition. Kidney deficiency will show the decline of kidney-related functions, such as memory loss, sexual dysfunction, easy fracture, anemia, inability to hold back urine, waist and leg pain and so on. But we can't generalize that the above symptoms must be kidney deficiency.
Many men often feel low back pain in their forties, and whether it is our traditional concept or the atmosphere of tonifying the kidney around them of the same age, these will give us the illusion that low back pain is kidney deficiency, which will cause many people to blindly tonify the kidney. Actually, this is a misunderstanding. Low back pain is not necessarily kidney deficiency. Treating low back pain simply by tonifying kidney can easily delay the disease. Chronic low back pain is common in clinic, such as low back pain caused by chronic lumbar muscle strain and intervertebral disc degeneration. It is really effective to treat with drugs that tonify kidney and strengthen yang. But not all low back pain is related to kidney deficiency. Nourishing kidney drugs are mostly warm, and patients suffering from damp-heat diseases such as lumbar tuberculosis, lumbar suppurative infection and ankylosing spondylitis will aggravate their condition. Low back pain is just a symptom. The pathological changes of bones, joints and muscles in the waist and visceral diseases near the waist may cause low back pain.
After getting the above answer, someone asked, low back pain is not necessarily kidney deficiency, so don't we need to tonify the kidney? Of course, if it is really kidney deficiency, this kidney still needs to be supplemented. So who needs kidney tonic? Fatigue and age are not the criteria to define tonifying kidney. If people who do not need to tonify the kidney take tonics, they will not only fail to supplement nutrition, but also increase the burden of organ detoxification; Some people think that "middle-aged people with poor spleen and stomach should also tonify the kidney", which is also inappropriate. "Kidney-tonifying drugs have three kinds of toxicity". Drugs that tonify the spleen and stomach are more harmful to people with poor spleen and stomach, which can't be absorbed by the body, but will have side effects; Some middle-aged people think that "sexual dysfunction is kidney deficiency", which is also an incorrect view. Sexual health problems cannot be simply attributed to "kidney deficiency" and "tonifying kidney and strengthening yang".
In China's traditional health preservation, the emphasis is on nurturing, supplemented by treatment. This nourishment mainly includes diet and exercise. Similarly, to keep the kidneys healthy, we should also pay attention to diet and exercise. Then we should pay more attention to the treatment of kidneys at ordinary times, and eat foods containing iron and protein when we are weak and tired, such as fungus, jujube and silky fowl. People with indigestion drink more yogurt and eat hawthorn; Eat more leeks, sea cucumbers, ginseng, black-bone chicken and domestic pigeons on weekdays to protect the kidneys. You can also cook in person at ordinary times, such as stewed chicken with medlar, fried meat with gold needles, scrambled eggs with tomatoes and so on. It not only preserves health and nourishes the heart, but also promotes family harmony.
If you are not good at kitchen operation, you can choose to massage your waist, which can also protect your kidneys.
