Whether the kidneys are good or not, you can tell from the face! The two major tonic soups and three actions to nourish the kidneys are to be learned today!
Kidney function is irreversible, and being able to live a normal life is a luxury for people with severe kidney disease.
Kidney disease has always been a common disease, and anyone can be "haunted" by it. According to statistics, the incidence of kidney disease in China is 10%~13%, and there are about 100 million patients in the country.
If you want to get rid of kidney disease, nourishing and protecting your kidneys is the top priority, and timely understanding of your kidney condition is the premise.
Just look at your face to know if your kidneys are good or not
The kidneys, which are equivalent to the body's "water purifiers", discharge useless metabolic wastes, regulate the body's water and salt balance, and have a strong compensatory function. When there is a problem with the kidneys, the body also gives some cues.
Note that backache is not necessarily a bad kidney, and it needs to be judged in combination with other symptoms. If you notice something unusual on your face, you need to pay attention.
When you wake up early and see that your eyelids are swollen, it mostly indicates that your kidneys are not good.
On the one hand, a bad kidney will reduce the drainage function of the kidneys, which will lead to sodium and water retention, and the eyes will be swollen and even the limbs of the body will be swollen.
On the other hand, it may be related to excessive excretion of proteins, decreased plasma colloidal osmotic pressure, and water entering the gaps or body cavities of the body tissues, causing edema in our eyes or limbs.
Excluding physiological causes such as melanin and age, TCM believes that dark face is a manifestation of kidney deficiency and kidney deficiency. The deficiency of kidney essence is due to the lack of kidney water, which leads to the exuberance of the body's fire.
Therefore, people with kidney deficiency look dull, dull and rough, dark, and more serious to kidney deficiency, dark circles, middle-aged acne, premature aging eye bags, etc., which also indicates that kidney disease has entered an advanced stage.
Eating spicy, irritating and other greasy foods often causes kidney and spleen discomfort, and also causes symptoms of kidney deficiency.
An unhealthy diet causes the kidneys to be unable to metabolize properly, and the metabolic waste products in the body cannot be excreted in time, which will be reflected on the face.
If the nose is red for a long time, accompanied by acne and acne, it means that the kidneys are weak and on fire. If you don't quit the bad habit of eating, your kidneys will naturally not be good.
Organs interact with each other. When the stomach is not good, there will also be problems with the kidneys, which is due to indigestion in the stomach, or the stomach is blazing, which affects the metabolism, which greatly increases the incidence of kidney disease.
Generally speaking, people suffering from chronic nephritis have an unpleasant smell in the mouth, which also shows that the kidneys are getting more and more serious, and it is urgent to nourish the kidneys and regulate the stomach.
In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, yin deficiency in the liver and kidney leads to blood deficiency and dry skin or blood heat and dampness, which leads to itchy skin. Once the toxin is difficult to excrete in the urine, it will be transferred to the skin for excretion, irritating the skin and causing itching.
However, there may be other causes of itchy skin, so if it does not heal for a long time, it is recommended to go to the dermatology department of the hospital for a detailed examination.
A "good kidney", eat it from the diet!
A good kidney is developed from a daily diet. Some experts say that the "high-risk behaviors" that cause kidney disease include eating heavy food, staying up late, smoking, and taking improper medications.
If you want to nourish your kidneys, stick to this almighty diet rule - drink more plain water, eat less salty food, and eat less high-protein meat.
Among them, 95% of the salt in the diet is metabolized by the kidneys, and if you often eat very salty food, it will increase the burden on the kidneys and have a great impact on the kidneys.
