    If we don’t pay attention to keeping warm and let our waist get cold for a long time, we are likely to experience some uncomfortable symptoms. What is the reason why men have cold waist and sides? In fact, this is probably caused by kidney deficiency. Because the kidneys are located on both sides of our waist, it is easy to suffer from kidney deficiency if we are tired for a long time or do not pay attention to our health. Kidney deficiency can be treated with diet or traditional Chinese medicine.

    Kidney deficiency refers to insufficient kidney essence and yin and yang. There are many types of kidney deficiency, the most common of which are kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency. Symptoms of kidney deficiency: Symptoms of kidney yang deficiency include backache, cold limbs, chills, and even edema, which are "cold" symptoms. Poor sexual function can also lead to kidney yang deficiency. ; The symptoms of kidney yin deficiency are "heat", which mainly include backache, dry heat, night sweats, constipation, dizziness, tinnitus, etc. Modern science has proven that when a person suffers from kidney deficiency, whether it is kidney yin deficiency or kidney yang deficiency, it will lead to a decrease in the person's immunity. There is more evidence that when kidney deficiency occurs, the immunity of the kidneys decreases, and the microcirculation system of the kidneys will also be blocked, causing the kidney meridians to become blocked. Therefore, the treatment of kidney deficiency should combine prevention and treatment.

    Causes of kidney deficiency

    1. Abuse of analgesics

    Long-term use or high-dose use of some anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, such as pain relievers, indomethacin, paracetamol, aspirin, etc., can easily cause kidney damage.

    2. Overdose of certain Chinese herbal medicines

    Chinese herbal medicines that have been clinically found to "damage the kidneys" include: Tripterygium wilfordii, Akebia mutton, morning glory, Xanthium vulgare, poppy shell, Shengcaowu, Shijunzi, Qingmuxiang, Fangjiji, etc. Among them, Tripterygium wilfordii causes the greatest kidney damage, followed by Guanmutong.

    3. Excessive drinking of drinks

    Excessive intake of soft drinks and sports drinks can indirectly damage the kidneys. The pH in the human body is 7.2. These drinks are generally highly acidic, and the pH in the body changes significantly after drinking them.

    4. Eat bread that is too soft

    There is a food additive potassium bromate in bread and pastries. It tastes soft, but excessive consumption can damage the central nervous system, blood and kidneys.

    5. Overeating

    Modern people have more opportunities to have dinner parties and often eat too much "delicious food". Most of these wastes are excreted through the kidneys. Excessive eating will undoubtedly increase the burden on the kidneys.

    6. Drink strong tea after drinking alcohol

    Some people think that drinking strong tea after drinking can relieve hangover. In fact, this is not only ineffective, but can also damage the kidneys. Experts say that theophylline in tea can quickly affect the kidneys and exert a diuretic effect. At this time, the alcohol is excreted from the kidneys before it can be decomposed again, causing the kidneys to be stimulated by a large amount of ethanol, thereby damaging kidney function.
