The importance of kidneys to the human body

The kidneys are relatively important organs in the human body. They are the place for detoxification. We must protect our kidneys at ordinary times. The kidneys are very important for human growth and development. Whether you are a man or a woman, if you want to be strong, you need to take good care of your kidneys, eat more fruits, eat more black foods, drink more water, pay more attention to rest, and develop good living habits and eating habits.

Kidney problems cause dry, hard and prickly hair

Due to kidney problems, black hair will gradually turn into yellowish brown or light yellow. Normal hair is very smooth and soft. If you take a bunch of hair and prick it on the back of your hand or other parts of your skin, you won't feel it at all.

If the hair is dry and hard, we will obviously feel it prickling us when doing this movement. In fact, the hair can be soft or hard depending on each person's physique. If the kidney qi is insufficient or there is something wrong with the kidneys, nutrients cannot reach the head, and our hair will become dry and hard due to lack of nutrition.

Poor kidney function can also lead to gray hair

According to TCM theory, hair is the residue of blood and is expressed by the kidneys. Therefore, the kidney's essence is in the hair. When the heart and kidney are not in communication, or when excessive thinking depletes the essence and blood, or when worry and fear damage the kidney essence, the hair will turn white or gray.

The importance of kidneys to women

Kidneys are very important for women. From growth and development to menstruation, uterus, pregnancy and childbirth, everything is closely related to the kidneys, especially in modern society, where the pressure of work and life is very high.

This will make it easier for us to cause a deficiency of kidney essence, a deficiency of both Qi and blood, and will also lead to an imbalance of Yin and Yang, causing women's faces to become very pale and dark circles to become more obvious.

At the same time, there will be signs such as brown spots, dry hair, fatigue, weakness, soreness in the waist and knees, and fear of cold. Therefore, kidney tonification is much more important for women than men.

What behaviors of women are bad for kidneys

1. Drink less water

The body's metabolic waste is mainly processed by the liver and kidneys. The kidneys are mainly responsible for regulating the balance of water and electrolytes in the body, metabolizing the waste produced by physiological activities, and excreting it in the urine.

However, when performing these functions, it needs sufficient water to assist, so women must drink more water on a regular basis, because these habits can dilute urine and allow urine to be excreted quickly.

This not only effectively prevents kidney stones, but also helps to dilute urine when too much salt is consumed, thereby protecting our kidneys.

2. Like to drink

Especially drinking beer will cause uric acid deposition, leading to obstruction of the renal tubules and causing kidney failure. If we find kidney problems during blood tests, it means that the kidneys have been severely damaged.

Therefore, we should conduct urine tests regularly in our daily lives, because urine testing is a simple and quick way to understand the kidneys. Drinking a lot of alcohol can also lead to hyperuricemia. These habits can also cause metabolic diseases such as hyperlipidemia.

High blood lipids can easily cause kidney disease, so women should not drink alcohol. You can drink some fruit juice and more boiled water at drinking parties. Alcohol is very harmful to the kidneys.

3. Love to drink beverages

Most women like to drink beverages, whether they are colored beverages or common carbonated beverages, they use beverages instead of boiled water. In fact, in comparison, carbonated beverages such as soda and cola or beverages such as coffee have naturally become the best substitutes for boiled water.

However, the ingredients contained in these beverages often affect women's qi and blood. Insufficient qi and blood is one of the traditional Chinese medicine signs of kidney deficiency in women. Therefore, we should avoid drinking too many beverages as much as possible, replace them with boiled water, and maintain a frequency of drinking eight glasses of water a day to promote the timely elimination of toxins in our body.
