Ultimate care for the root of life: kidney regulation, menopause management, and prostate cancer prevention

Kidney disease. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, kidney disease is a common ailment among people with "numbness below the navel," meaning weakness in the muscles below the navel is a contributing factor. Weak lower body muscles reduce kidney function, impairing the body's ability to excrete water, leading to fluid retention and a feeling of coldness. This, in turn, impairs blood circulation to the kidneys and bladder, reducing the number of white blood cells transported by the blood. Consequently, this can easily lead to nephritis and nephrotic syndrome.

And diseases such as pyelonephritis and cystitis caused by bacteria. Most kidney diseases can be treated by warming the lower body and promoting urination as much as possible. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to keeping the body warm and promoting urination in daily life. Drink more ginger black tea and boiled red beans, which can warm the body and promote urination. Yam and burdock have the effect of improving kidney function. You can consciously eat more mashed yam with rice and stir-fried burdock. Broad beans are very similar in shape to kidneys; according to the similarity theory, broad beans are a very effective food for kidney disease.

Drink a tablespoon of broad bean extract soup made from broad bean peels three times a day. To make the broad bean extract soup: Put 100 grams of broad bean peels in a pot, add 100 grams of brown sugar and 1 liter of water. Bring to a boil and reduce the water to half its original volume. Filter through cheesecloth, store in a bottle, and refrigerate. Apply ginger plaster to the kidney area two or three times a day to warm the kidneys. To make the ginger plaster: Crush 150 grams of old ginger into a paste and put it in a cotton bag. Place the cotton bag in 2 liters of water, heat until almost boiling, then reduce heat and simmer.

Keep the broth at around 70℃. Soak a towel in the broth, then gently wring it out. Place the damp towel on your lower back, near your kidneys, cover it with a plastic bag, and then place a dry towel on top. Apply the heat for about ten minutes. After ten minutes, soak the damp towel in the broth again, wring it out, and apply it to your lower back. Repeat this two or three times. Take a half-body bath to warm your lower body. Male menopause symptoms. Men typically experience menopausal symptoms between the ages of 45 and 60 due to a decrease in male hormone secretion.

Male menopausal disorders present with two main symptoms: decreased libido and erectile dysfunction, and decreased libido and depression. Other symptoms include increased visceral fat, decreased muscle and bone mass, fatigue, hot flashes, and night sweats. While male hormone levels typically decline with age, menopausal disorders often mirror those experienced by women, stemming from a drop in body temperature and a general feeling of coldness. Weakened muscles in the lower body prevent the body from generating sufficient heat.

This results in a significant drop in hormone secretion. When body temperature drops, people may become insecure, depressed, and experience various psychological problems. If you notice similar symptoms, try exercising your lower body, building muscle, and raising your body temperature. Additionally, you can try the following methods: Consume plenty of ginger, which is rich in zinc and has a powerful warming effect on the body. You can add ginger paste and soy sauce to tofu soup. Ginger soup is also very effective.

Ginger and perilla are effective for some stages of depressive symptoms. Perilla, in particular, has a soothing effect on mental symptoms and can be made into perilla tempura or perilla wine for consumption in large quantities. Ginger black tea can also be drunk. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and Prostate Cancer: The prostate gland is located below the bladder, surrounding the urethra that extends from the bladder. It is chestnut-shaped and about the size of a walnut. The prostate is an organ found only in men, and some components of semen are produced here. An enlarged prostate is called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

An enlarged prostate can compress the urethra, leading to urinary problems such as difficulty urinating, frequent urination, a feeling of incomplete urination, and nocturia. If cancer develops in the prostate, it becomes prostate cancer. Both benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer are closely linked to the Western diet, characterized by excessive consumption of animal-based foods such as meat, eggs, dairy products, butter, and mayonnaise. With changing dietary habits, it's likely that more and more people in the East will suffer from these two diseases in the future. Prevention begins with changing Western dietary habits.

In addition, exercise should be used to promote blood circulation and help the prostate function return to normal. Adopt an Eastern-style diet, ensuring sufficient intake of root vegetables and seaweed. Drink carrot and apple juice. To make carrot and apple juice: Prepare one washed apple (about 300g) with the peel on. Prepare two washed carrots (about 400g) with the peel on. Put the carrots and apple into a juicer and juice. The prostate is the organ responsible for producing semen, so sufficient zinc is essential for restoring its function.

Consciously consume foods rich in zinc, such as oysters, ginger, shellfish, shrimp, squid, and crab. You can also add cabbage to carrot and apple juice. Alternatively, you can substitute 100 grams of celery for cabbage. Celery not only enhances liver function but also has aphrodisiac effects, offering two benefits in one.
