To ensure sufficient kidney qi, we need to control our sexual desires so that our heart remains calm.
⑴ Moderate desires
Moderating desires is the first and foremost method for men to nourish their kidneys.
⑵ Avoid overexertion
It is important not to overwork oneself. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, essence is derived from blood, and essence is the manifestation of blood. Therefore, it is necessary to protect the blood.
⑶ Manage anger
Anger can harm the liver, which is responsible for storing blood. If a person frequently gets angry, it will damage the liver's blood and deplete essence. Therefore, we should control our temper, manage anger, and learn to deal with people and things with a calm and peaceful attitude.
⑷ Quit drinking
Alcohol can stimulate blood circulation. While a small amount of alcohol can activate the body's blood circulation, excessive drinking can disrupt the balance of qi and blood. Therefore, drinking should be done in moderation.
⑸ Eat sensibly
Eating sensibly means avoiding excessive eating and indulgence. It is important to nourish essence with a balanced diet of grains. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, there is a saying: "Grains are the best for nourishing essence."
