Some people say that frequent urination at night means kidney deficiency, and some people say that backache means bad kidneys. In fact, these statements are too one-sided. What "signals" will the body send out when a man with truly good kidneys gets up in the morning.
Debunking myths: Whether the kidneys are good or not cannot be judged by the waist alone
Many people think of the waist when they mention the kidneys, which actually confuses the "kidneys" in traditional Chinese medicine with the "kidneys" in Western medicine. The kidneys in traditional Chinese medicine are a large system that controls our growth, development, reproduction, water metabolism, etc. So to see whether the kidneys are good or not, we have to make a comprehensive judgment from multiple aspects.
Men with good kidneys often have these 5 symptoms when they get up in the morning
1. Sleeping through the night, no more than 1 nocturnal urination
The kidneys are responsible for water metabolism. If they function normally, they can regulate the water at night. If you have sufficient kidney energy and don't drink a lot of water after 9pm, you can basically sleep through the night. It's normal to get up once in a while, but if you have to get up two or three times every night, you may need to pay attention.
2. Get up in the morning with full energy and don't stay in bed. The kidneys store essence, and if the essence is sufficient, the spirit is strong.
Men with good kidneys can get up neatly as soon as the alarm rings in the morning, and they won't feel weak all over. If getting up every day is like fighting a war, and you have to struggle for a long time before you can get up, your kidney energy may be a little deficient.
3. Hair is shiny and doesn't fall out in large quantities.
"The beauty of the kidney is in the hair." When you comb your hair in the morning, take a look. If your hair is shiny and there is not much hair left on the comb, it means that your kidney essence is sufficient. If you lose a lot of hair every time you comb your hair, and your hair is dry and dull, it may be that your kidney essence is insufficient.
4. The ears are not cold and the hearing is clear.
The kidney opens up to the ears. When you get up in the morning, touch your ears. If they are warm, it means that your kidney yang is sufficient. If your ears feel cold, and you often have tinnitus and hearing loss, your kidney qi may be a little weak.
5. Strong waist and legs, no soreness or pain
"The waist is the home of the kidneys". Men with good kidneys should have a relaxed and strong waist and legs when they get up in the morning. If you often feel sore waist and weak legs, and have to use your hands to get up, then your kidney qi may need to be replenished.
