"If you don't store essence in winter, you will be sick in spring." Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cold evil is most likely to damage kidney yang. Therefore, to resist cold evil, we must first nourish the kidneys. Otherwise, in spring, kidney deficiency will affect the body's immunity and make it easy to get sick.

Restrained sexual intercourse to store semen

In layman’s terms, the climate is cold in winter, and the human body needs a lot of energy to keep out the cold, and sexual life consumes more energy.

Therefore, when having sex, you must have a sense of proportion. In order to avoid unnecessary physical exertion in winter, it is recommended to lie in separate beds and quilts to reduce irritation after physical contact. Why should we make this restriction? From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, essence, qi, and spirit are the most important life forces of human beings, especially essence. Therefore, "those who protect essence well will live longer, and those who damage essence will suffer from premature aging." From the perspective of people's own needs, since Yang Qi has declined, sexual desire has been relatively reduced, and sexual impulse has also been reduced accordingly, which is conducive to closing the essence and not leaking it. In addition, affected by autumn dryness, women's own desires will also decrease and their bodies will become dry.

In view of this, when having sex in winter, you must do what you can, and you must not force yourself into the room, otherwise it will damage the kidneys and consume essence. The kidney governs the bones, and symptoms such as low back pain will first appear. "Kidney injury will cause the marrow to be empty and dry, and the low back pain will not allow you to lean down." This can lead to the recurrence or aggravation of the disease, especially for those with chronic diseases. The way to self-test whether sexual intercourse is appropriate is: on the next day of sexual intercourse, if both parties are happy and energetic, it means that the frequency of sexual intercourse is appropriate; if on the second day of sexual intercourse, you feel tired, dizzy, or even afraid of the cold, then It means that the frequency of sexual life is inappropriate.

It should be noted that couples should also pay attention to health care when having sex in winter, extend foreplay, appropriately control sexual frequency, and pay attention to keeping warm to prevent cold.

Nourishing Kidney Essence in Daily Life

Since the kidney controls Qi, people cannot just be lazy and move less in winter. They should carry out more physical activities within their ability to improve disease resistance. In addition, in winter, people are in a state of "excessive yin and waning yang", so strengthening the back to keep warm will help the yang energy of the kidneys to rise.

The kidney corresponds to the fear among the seven emotions, so once extreme mental stress occurs, it may cause kidney qi deficiency or blood deficiency and mental weakness. Excessive fear can also damage kidney qi. Fear can cause qi to drop. When a person is extremely frightened, the external hands and feet will first become cold, while the inner kidney qi has been damaged. According to the dialectical principle of traditional Chinese medicine, lesions in winter often occur in the kidney meridian and manifest in the waist and thighs, and diseases are mostly in the limbs. As long as you are good at maintaining Yang Qi in winter and do not damage your muscles in winter, you will not suffer from nosebleeds and other facial and neck diseases in spring.

Recuperate to strengthen the kidneys in winter

The diet in winter has its own characteristics. Some hot foods, such as mutton, dog meat and other foods that warm the kidneys, strengthen yang, and produce high calories, may cause a weak or cold constitution. Patients can eat it in moderation, and there is no need to avoid eating chocolate, etc. You should eat less cold food. When eating cold food such as crabs, it is recommended to accompany it with warmed rice wine and add shredded ginger to help drive away the cold.

In addition, the diet should not be too salty, because the salty taste enters the kidneys, making the kidney water colder, affecting the deficiency of heart yang and adversely affecting the heart.

When the psychological defense mechanism becomes prominent, it can dominate a person's personality and its development and damage his or her physiological functions. The nature and intensity of these psychological conflicts depend on childhood upbringing and parental attitudes. The way to solve subconscious resistance is to identify suppressed emotions and guide them into the conscious realm, thereby achieving the purpose of eliminating suppression. Therefore, those whose sexual dysfunction cannot be cured should seek treatment in a psychosexual clinic.
