How to self test if your kidney is not good, how to tell if your kidney is good?

The kidneys store essence, sperm marrow, and marrow nourishes bones. People with poor kidney function, especially middle-aged and elderly people, are more likely to suffer from osteoporosis. Heavy nocturia, early graying or loss of hair, early onset of backache, knee weakness, and even early decline in sexual function are all signs of kidney deficiency.

In addition to these characteristics, we can also observe from the face of the face:

1. Face. The color part of the kidney on the face is located at the intersection of the perpendicular line of the temple and the transverse line of the base of the nose. Normally, this part of the color will be blue during adolescence, and as you get older, the cyan color of this area will be affected by the surrounding ruddyness, and in old age, it will be replaced by a faint gray.

Deficiency fever, that is, patients with kidney yin deficiency, appear grayish-black around the cheekbones, appear pale red in the evening, and become spots in severe cases;

In patients with deficiency of cold, that is, kidney yang deficiency, the corners of the mouth may appear grayish-black on both sides, accompanied by backache or cold limbs.

In addition to the gray-black changes on the face, the skin and flesh of the kidney color will also collapse, of course, this situation is very serious when it appears.

2. Ears. Traditional Chinese medicine says that the kidneys open to the ears, and the signs of serious kidney disease and the shrinking of the ears, and the gray-black appearance around the mouth is a bad omen, and it is necessary to seek medical attention in time when found.

3. Tongue. People with kidney yin deficiency have a light red tongue base and little tongue coating, while people with kidney yang deficiency have a thicker and sticky tongue coating.

4. Eyes. The eyes are bright and energetic, which is a manifestation of sufficient kidney essence, and when the essence is insufficient, there will be blue-black or gray-black circles around the black eyes, which we call the ring of aging, which is a sign of aging.

Three misunderstandings about kidney care.

1. Are proteins all good? Not necessarily!

People with renal insufficiency should adopt a low-protein diet, which means keeping good protein and avoiding bad protein. When we talk about good protein, we mean the protein in eggs, milk, lean meat, soy products, and the protein contained in staple foods is relatively of poor quality.

You can choose rice and noodles that have been removed from the protein and retain starch, can provide calories, and are special for patients with kidney disease. If you can't buy it, you can also eat cornstarch or lotus root flour for thickening. It can be eaten in a 1:1 ratio with regular staple foods.

The protein required by a normal person for a day: an egg + a bag of milk + about two taels of lean meat + about one tael of soy products.

2. Is eating low-sodium salt to protect the kidneys? Miss by a mile!

High in potassium: bananas, mushrooms, watermelon, potatoes, orange juice, orange juice, mushrooms.

High sodium: preserved eggs, ham sausages, celery, boxed juices, soft drinks, bagged snacks.

A normal person has 6 grams of salt a day, while patients with kidney disease can consume ordinary salt, but pay attention to reducing the amount by 2 to 3.

3. Is eating more whole grains healthy? no！

The amount of bad protein in coarse grains is more than that in fine grains, and there are phosphorus ions in coarse grains that are not conducive to kidney metabolism.

It is recommended that regular examinations be carried out every day to see if there is any problem with the kidneys, and you can go to the Guangzhou Logistics Nephrology Research and Development Center for examination.

How can you tell if your kidneys are good? Generally, it can be found when you sleep at night, and you must pay attention to timely conditioning to avoid damage to the kidneys and body.

If there is a problem with the kidneys, the metabolism in the body will be disordered, which is not conducive to the discharge of metabolic waste products in the body, which will implicate the nervous system, which will cause it difficult to fall asleep during sleep, or be haunted by nightmares after falling asleep. Therefore, if you feel that you sleep more firmly and peacefully, it means that your kidney function is relatively good.

1. Less urine during bedtime. Many people have the phenomenon of getting up and urinating at night, if the frequency is small, 0 to 2 times, then this is relatively normal. At night, all organs of the human body are in a state of rest, and the human metabolism is relatively slow, so there will be less urine formed, and there is no need to urinate frequently at night.

However, once the kidney function is abnormal. , will reduce the absorption of water in the body, increase the amount of urine, and there will be frequent urination at night.

2. The soles of the feet will not sweat when sleeping. Sweating will only be when you are emotional, abnormal sweating in the heart of the feet at night, generally because the convergence of the kidneys has decreased, abnormal sweating is a manifestation of insufficient kidney qi, the kidneys are not good, and there will be sweating, sleeping at night, sweating more, lying on the side is uncomfortable, the body is tired, and after waking up, you will often feel that your physical strength is not very good. Then pay attention to the kidneys and pay attention to conditioning.

3. Sleep is not deep, and it is easy to be woken up。It is also because the kidneys are not good, and the internal metabolic function of the kidneys is disordered, resulting in poor health, which will affect the quality of sleep. The kidneys are not good, and the kidney qi is often insufficient, which can easily lead to sleeping dreams at night, making the sleep quality poor, and the body will feel very tired in the morning.

That is also a problem with the kidneys, which should be treated in time to protect the kidneys.

4. Lack of kidney qi will make the waist around sore. The kidneys nourish the body and have an impact on the waist, hair, and body energy. If the kidneys function normally, they will be energetic, energetic, and have thick hair with good color.

If the kidneys are not functioning properly, these may not be present and the body will have problems.

So how do you protect your kidneys?

1. Drinking water often promotes the body's metabolism, which can flush the kidneys and keep the kidneys in good condition, which is a good way to prevent kidney disease.

2. If the kidneys are declining, the usual diet should be light, eat less meat, eat less oil and salt, eat less high-protein food, less spicy, etc., which can reduce the burden on the kidneys and protect the kidneys.

3. Don't stay up late often, don't overdraft your body, otherwise it will hurt the kidneys, many people are because of long-term stay up late and tired, the body is hollowed out, the kidney function declines, and the kidney qi is consumed. If you want to have healthy kidneys, you must pay attention to the combination of work and rest, so that you can keep your body functioning normally and keep your kidneys in optimal condition.

In a word, if you want your kidneys to be good, you should pay attention to all aspects of your daily life and take good care of your body. Don't overwork, be sure to combine work and rest!
