With the development of society and the improvement of people's living standards, it is not only women and children who pay attention to health, but even men have started to take care of their own health. Do you know what methods men can use to stay healthy? How can men take care of their health? Today, I will discuss some methods for men's health with you. Let's take a look below.
Men's Health: Pay Attention to 7 Acupoints
The Yongquan acupoint on the sole of the foot runs along the kidney meridian. Before going to bed, soak your feet in warm water and rub your hands together until they are warm. Use the palm of your left hand to massage the sole of your right foot, and use the palm of your right hand to massage the sole of your left foot. Do this 50 times on each side, until your feet are warm.
As winter approaches, male compatriots also need to take relevant health measures. The kidneys are the foundation of one's innate constitution. Many men like to nourish their kidneys through herbal medicine and diet therapy. Although both methods are good, I would like to recommend a few acupressure techniques for male friends. By pressing the right acupoints, you can strengthen your body and stay healthy.
1. "Rub" the Soles of the Feet

Adopt a sitting or standing posture, naturally extend your lower limbs, and use the palms of both hands to rub and knead from the upper part of the thigh down to the knee. Stop when you feel a slight soreness and swelling in the thighs.
3. "Tap" the Lumbar Vertebrae
Adopt a standing posture, separate your thighs, and press your thumbs tightly against both sides of your waist. Do this for about 5 minutes each time, several times a day. It can prevent and treat symptoms such as back pain and weakness of the waist and knees.

In the morning, use your fingertips or the textured surface of your hands to gently rub or press the earlobe and other parts of the ears in a circular motion. Stop when you feel a slight swelling and warmth in the area.
7. "Contract" the Anus
The anus is also known as the "grain passage". "Contracting the anus" refers to doing exercises to tighten the anus.
