Land on your heels, inhale, slowly bend your knees and squat down, gradually turn the backs of your hands forward, with the base of your thumb facing your ankles; when your hands are close to the ground, clench them into fists with a little force (as if you are grabbing something), and take a deep breath.

Tips for protecting kidneys

First, soak your feet at 9 p.m.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the soles of the feet are the starting and ending points of various meridians, and are distributed with more than 60 acupuncture points and reflex areas connected to the internal organs of the human body, which correspond to the five internal organs of the human body. Foot soaking can relax the meridians and improve blood circulation. Most people know that soaking your feet has benefits, but many people don’t know that soaking your feet at different time periods has slightly different effects. If you want to protect your kidneys, it is best to soak your feet around 9 o'clock in the evening for the best effect.

The secret of foot bath at 9 o'clock

The reason for choosing this time period to nourish the kidneys is that this is the time when the qi and blood of the kidney meridian are relatively weak. When soaking your feet at this time, the body heat will increase, and the blood vessels in the body will expand, which is beneficial to blood circulation, thereby promoting blood circulation in the body. At the same time, the nerves that have been tense all day and the kidneys that have been tired all day can be completely relaxed and fully regulated by soaking your feet at this time, and people will feel comfortable.

"Soaking your feet in hot water can not only nourish the kidneys and liver, but also help improve sleep quality." If you do a few minutes of foot massage after soaking your feet, it will be better for the body's blood circulation and further regulate the internal organs. After soaking your feet, it is recommended not to engage in other activities and fall asleep after a few minutes for better kidney-tonifying effects.
