1. Friction of the lower abdomen
Before going to bed, place one hand on the lower abdomen below the navel and the other hand on the waist. Then, hold the waist with one hand and slowly rub the lower abdomen from right to left with the other hand, feeling the warmth in the abdomen.
2. Massage the Kidney Palace
Place both palms on the same side of the waist and rub up and down for about 2 minutes, feeling a slight warmth in the deep area. Alternatively, make fists with both hands and use the back of the hands to alternately tap the waist. The strength should be moderate, and it is recommended to tap each side about 100 times. The waist is the palace of the kidneys. Massaging the Kidney Palace, also known as "rubbing the gate of essence," has the effect of nourishing the kidneys, strengthening the waist, nourishing the essence, and unblocking the meridians.
3. Massage the inguinal region
Before going to bed, place both hands on the inguinal region (at the base of the thighs) on both sides and gently massage in a diagonal direction for 36 times. This can be done several times a week and has a certain effect on enhancing sexual desire and improving energy.
4. Climbing and strengthening the kidneys
Lie on your back, with both hands pulling from the knees to the hip joints, following the line from the front armpit to the head. Cross your hands with your palms facing up, keep your feet straight, and drop your hands straight down and forward, bending your upper body forward. Move your hands to the Yongquan acupoint on the soles of your feet, exerting force with your feet, and the hands and feet exert force in opposite directions. Relax your hands to restore the supine position. Repeat this process 10 times, or adjust the number according to your ability. This method is effective in strengthening the waist and knees, nourishing the kidneys, and replenishing essence.
5. Massage the testicles
Rub your hands together to warm them up. First, hold the testicles with your right hand, with the right testicle in the palm of your hand and the left testicle on the lines of your thumb, index finger, and middle finger. Then gently knead and rotate them left and right for 30-50 times, feeling a slight tingling sensation without pain. Repeat the same process with your left hand.
6. Friction of both ears
In the morning, use your fingertips or the ridge of your fingers to gently rub and press the ears in a circular motion on both sides. The area should feel slightly swollen and warm. This method helps to balance Yin and Yang, promote blood circulation, nourish the kidneys, and strengthen essence, as advocated by health experts throughout history.

In terms of diet, experts recommend that men should eat more foods that nourish the kidneys, replenish essence, and invigorate Qi and blood to improve the quality and vitality of sperm.
1. Magnesium helps regulate heart activity, lower blood pressure, prevent heart disease, and improve male fertility. It is recommended that men should eat more magnesium-rich foods for breakfast, such as soybeans, potatoes, walnuts, oatmeal, macaroni, leafy vegetables, and seafood.
2. Arginine is the main component of sperm heads and helps improve sperm motility. Foods rich in arginine include sea cucumber, eel, loach, squid, sesame, yam, ginkgo biloba, tofu skin, frozen tofu, peanuts, sunflower seeds, and hazelnuts.
3. Zinc is an essential element in sperm metabolism and enhances sperm vitality. It is necessary to consume foods rich in zinc, such as oysters, shrimp, clams, animal liver, walnuts, milk, beans, bran, and lotus seeds. Oysters have the highest zinc content among various foods, and paying attention to their intake helps with nucleic acid and protein metabolism in sperm and improves sexual performance.
4. Calcium plays a crucial role in sperm movement, energy acquisition, maintaining the activity of hyaluronidase, and the fertilization process.
If the body lacks calcium, sperm motility will be slow and the activity of acrosin will be reduced. Therefore, men should also pay attention to consuming foods rich in calcium, such as milk, soy products, sardines, pork rib soup, seaweed, shrimp skin, kelp, sea lettuce, needle mushroom, mustard greens, cilantro, sweet almonds, and raisins.
5. In addition, the activity of sperm is related to the amount of fructose in the seminal vesicles. If the fructose content in the semen is low, it will easily lead to necrospermia.
Fructose is abundant in honey and various fruits such as pear, apple, grape, pineapple, and sweet orange, so attention should be paid to their intake.
