The kidneys are very important for men as they directly affect marriage, marital harmony, and family happiness. Therefore, kidney deficiency is a common problem that often troubles many men. So, how should we replenish kidney deficiency specifically?
Foods to replenish kidney deficiency:
1. Magnesium helps regulate heart activity, lower blood pressure, prevent heart disease, and improve male fertility.
Foods rich in magnesium include soybeans, potatoes, oatmeal, walnuts, macaroni, leafy vegetables, and seafood.
2. Arginine is the main component of sperm head formation and improves sperm motility.
Foods rich in arginine include sea cucumbers, eels, loaches, squid, sesame, Chinese yam, ginkgo, tofu skin, frozen tofu, peanuts, sunflower seeds, hazelnuts, etc.
3. Sperm contains a trace element called zinc, which plays a crucial role in maintaining male reproductive function.
Zinc is essential for sperm metabolism and enhances sperm vitality. Eat foods rich in zinc, such as oysters, shrimp, clams, liver, walnuts, milk, beans, bran, and lotus seeds.
However, the daily intake of zinc should not exceed 15 micrograms, as excessive intake of zinc can affect the function of other minerals in the body.
120 grams of lean meat contains 7.5 micrograms of zinc.
4. Calcium plays a vital role in sperm movement, energy acquisition, maintaining hyaluronidase activity, and the fertilization process.
Calcium deficiency can cause slow sperm movement and decrease the overall protease activity of sperm.
Foods rich in calcium include milk, soy products, mackerel, pork bone soup, seaweed, shrimp skin, kelp, sea lettuce, golden needle vegetable, shiitake mushroom, mustard greens, coriander, sweet almonds, raisins, etc.
5. In addition, sperm activity is related to the amount of fructose in the seminal vesicles.
Low fructose content in semen easily leads to necrospermia.
Fructose is abundant in honey and various fruits such as pear, apple, grape, pineapple, and sweet orange, so pay attention to intake.
Diet therapy:
Ginseng and Partridge Soup
Ingredients: 15 grams of ginseng, 2 partridges (or pigeons), 150 grams of lean meat, 20 grams of longan flesh, and a suitable amount of salt.
Preparation: Rinse the ginseng with water and cut it into thin slices. Remove the feathers and internal organs of the partridges and wash them. Blanch them with boiling water.
Rinse the longan flesh and lean meat. Cut the lean meat into slices.
Put all these ingredients into a stew pot, add water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Then simmer over low heat for about 2 hours.
Add salt for seasoning and it is ready to serve.
This soup can nourish the kidneys, replenish qi, and nourish the essence and marrow.
It is very suitable for situations such as decreased sexual desire, mental fatigue, weak erections, palpitations, and insomnia caused by insufficient kidney qi.
Of course, excessive indulgence is not suitable for both men and women.
Over time, it can also lead to insufficient liver and kidney functions.
Therefore, moderation is necessary in sexual activities.
In daily life, some bad habits can also burden the kidneys, such as staying up late, irregular lifestyles, etc. Bad mood can also affect the liver and kidneys.
Therefore, it is important to develop healthy habits and learn to regulate emotions in order to prevent the occurrence of liver and kidney diseases.
