Whether your kidneys are good or not depends on the four manifestations during sleep. If none of them are significant, congratulations on the health of your kidneys

The kidneys, as the "innate foundation" and "acquired source", are actually equivalent to the "purifier" of the human body, helping to filter and purify blood and eliminate waste. However, due to excessive life pressure and other unhealthy habits, modern people have a high incidence of chronic kidney disease. So, what are the physical manifestations of kidney abnormalities?

Whether your kidneys are good or not depends on your four behaviors during sleep. If none of them are good, congratulations that your kidneys are very healthy:

1. Urine and cold hands and feet

Many girls, whether in spring, summer, autumn, or winter, have their hands and feet in a cold state for a long time. They often think that this is caused by body coldness. In fact, the appearance of this symptom is closely related to the kidneys, mostly caused by kidney yang deficiency and decline. When the kidney lacks yang energy, the blood flow cannot receive enough yang energy to warm and push, which can lead to cold hands and feet. Generally speaking, men's kidney yang is stronger than women's, and people with insufficient kidney qi often need a long time for their hands and feet to warm up even when lying in bed.

2. Sweating while sleeping

Kidney yin and kidney yang should be in a relatively balanced state under normal circumstances, and in this case, sleeping will also be more stable and good. But if you find yourself constantly sweating while sleeping recently and your condition improves after waking up, you should be alert that it is caused by kidney problems. Most of the reasons are due to insufficient kidney yin, which should be taken seriously.

3. Increased nocturia

The kidneys not only play a role in detoxification, but are also an important component of the urinary system. After entering sleep, our body's metabolic rate slows down, and the same goes for the kidneys. Therefore, if a person's kidneys are healthy, they are unlikely to wake up at night.

Generally, the total urine output per person per day is around 1000-2000ml. If you have been waking up frequently recently and your urine output is above 750ml, this is a sign of abnormal nighttime urine output. When you experience an increase in urine volume, insufficient urine, strong urine odor, or discomfort during urination, it is generally important to be alert to possible weakened kidney function.

4. Leg cramps while sleeping at night

If leg cramps suddenly occur while sleeping at night, most people will think it is caused by calcium deficiency, but in fact, it may be caused by the kidneys. Because the kidneys are involved in the secretion of a calcium phosphate metabolism hormone, when kidney function is weak, abnormal secretion of this hormone can lead to obstacles in calcium absorption. This can cause a decrease in blood calcium and bone mass, leading to symptoms such as calcium deficiency and leg cramps.

5. Kidney Health: Remember Three Ones.

Eat a type of black food regularly.

The so-called five colors nourish the five organs, and black food is the most nourishing for the kidneys. However, it should be noted that black food does not only refer to black, but also to a type of dark colored food. Foods such as purple and brown have nourishing effects on the liver, kidneys, spleen, and stomach.

Common ingredients such as black beans, black rice, black fungus, mushrooms, purple carrots, seaweed, blueberries, and mulberries all have effects.

Adequate Sleep

With changes in people's lifestyle habits, many people have stayed up late or lacked sleep, such as staying up late to play with their phones, socializing, working overtime, etc. These habits can cause damage to the kidneys. Because staying up late increases the risk of developing proteinuria and accelerates the weakening of kidney function, especially for those who already have chronic nephritis. When feeling physically exhausted, it is important to rest in a timely manner.

Some small movements

The waist is the home of the kidneys, which means that if you often experience discomfort in the waist, it is mostly related to the health of the kidneys. Therefore, if you want to take care of the kidneys, you can massage the waist. Action: Stand naturally, rub your hands hot, then place them on your lower back, rub and massage from top to bottom. This action can warm the kidneys and help promote the excretion of kidney toxins.
