Signs of strong kidney function

The strength of kidney function has a great impact on our life and health. Weak kidney function, such as kidney deficiency, will not only lead to mental depression, but also cause physical weakness and illness. Because of the importance of kidney function, we must be aware of our physical condition, know the signs of strong kidney function, and make timely adjustments if any abnormalities are found. So, what are the signs of strong kidney function?

1. Black hair and thick body hair

The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine records that "When a man is eight years old, his kidney qi is strong, his hair grows longer and his teeth change." Traditional Chinese medicine believes that if a person's kidney function is strong, his head and body hair will be luxuriant. Hair is the beauty of kidney and the surplus of blood. Whether hair is black or moist is related to kidney. Kidney stores essence, and its beauty is in hair. Hair's nutrition comes from blood, but its vitality lies in kidney. If kidney is not good, hair will turn gray early, lose luster, and fall out. Hair that is black, shiny, moist and does not easily fall out indicates that the kidney qi is sufficient.

2. Good memory

Kidney essence also nourishes the brain. Therefore, if the kidneys are not in good condition, you may often forget things and have slow reactions.

3. Good skin

Only people with good kidneys can stay young and delay aging. Otherwise, people will look old, with dull and lifeless skin, dark eye sockets and severe eye bags.

4. Good listening skills

According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, the hearing of the ears is closely related to the rise and fall of kidney qi. Full, thick and rosy earlobes indicate abundant kidney essence, while small earlobes indicate the opposite, indicating insufficient kidney essence. People with better kidney function have better hearing, which is especially evident in the elderly. On the contrary, people with kidney yin deficiency may experience tinnitus and hearing loss. If you experience symptoms such as tinnitus, irritability, and hearing loss, it may be a problem with your kidneys.

5. Strong Bones

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidneys control the bones, and the bones are nourished by kidney essence. Only when the kidneys are healthy can the bones be healthy. Kidney deficiency can cause osteoporosis, back pain, and even loose teeth.

6. Prominent Adam’s apple and beard

The Adam's apple and beard are also affected by the secretion of male hormones, which stimulate their development. In traditional Chinese medicine theory, this is also related to the kidneys being in charge of the reproductive system.

7. Keep your hands and feet warm all year round

Most girls have cold hands and feet, which is mostly caused by kidney yang deficiency and insufficient kidney yang. Because kidney yang is the body's original yang, the blood flow cannot be warmed and promoted by yang energy, which causes cold limbs and feet. Generally speaking, men's kidney yang is stronger than girls', so men's hands and feet are warmer. Men who have warm hands and feet all year round have very good kidney function.

8. Clear urine with little foam

If the foam in urine suddenly increases and does not disappear for a long time, it means that a lot of protein is excreted in the urine. If the urine color is abnormal, such as dark tea color, soy sauce color, or turbid like rice water, you should pay attention to it.

9. No swelling in the body when you wake up early

The kidneys are the organs that metabolize water in the human body. If the kidneys are not healthy, water will accumulate. If you often have swollen eyelids when you wake up early, or swollen feet and legs, you should consider kidney problems.

10. Strong waist

The waist is the home of the kidneys. A man with a good waist will have good kidney function. At the same time, the waist plays a supporting role and plays a vital role in men's motor function.
