Why does 'gout' always start from the feet? Mostly because of this, don't take it seriously!
I thought that gout was only an exclusive disease of the elderly, but unknowingly, more and more people in their 30s and 40s are suffering from gout. It can be said that this age is a good time to be high-spirited, but it is really painful to be tortured by gout. When the anxiety attacks, you can't even walk, which affects your normal life and work.
And when this kind of disease does not attack, there is no discomfort in the body. Go to the hospital for an examination like a normal person, and you can’t find out what’s wrong. It just tells you that the uric acid level is a bit high, you need to pay more attention, and there is nothing else. matter.
And for the sake of health, most doctors will advise you to pay more attention to your daily diet, don't eat too much high-protein food, don't drink alcohol, etc. After hearing this, many people will immediately pay attention to changing their diet structure for the sake of health. They will not eat a bite of the food that should be avoided, but no matter what, they will go to the hospital for an examination afterward. The uric acid is still high, and the gout attack is still the same as before.
And we also found that when most people have gout attacks, it often starts from the feet, and later it will slowly spread to the knees. Why is this? Why does "gout" always start from the feet? Mostly because of this, don't take it seriously!
In fact, this is a manifestation of kidney deficiency. We all know that the kidney has a filtering function. Once this function is weakened, the acid and poison in the blood cannot be excreted normally, and the blood circulation of the human body will make these toxins travel to various parts of the body. The big toe joint is the most distal joint of the human body, and acid and poison can easily gather in this place. Of course, some people have pain in the thumb joint for the same reason.
If you find that the uric acid level is high, but you just pay attention to the diet without removing the toxins in the body, it is tantamount to "treating the symptoms but not the root cause". Reduce the possibility of gout recurrence accordingly.
That being the case, how should we regulate the filtering function of the kidneys in our daily life? In fact, it is also very simple. Usually, we only need to pay more attention to these three points, which may help us better eliminate acidity in the body.
【Protect your feet and keep warm】
Keeping your feet warm is a way to nourish your kidneys. This is because the kidney meridian starts from the soles of the feet, and the feet are easily attacked by cold air. Therefore, it is necessary to do a good job of keeping warm. Do not put your feet directly on the air conditioner or electric fan before going to bed, and do not walk barefoot on the wet ground.
Especially in the hot summer, you should also insist on soaking your feet every night, which can stimulate the acupoints on your feet and help regulate the kidney meridian. When soaking feet, you can also gently massage the foot joints, which can nourish the kidney and strengthen the essence.
【Stool should be unobstructed】
Stool is an important way for the body to excrete toxins. If the stool stays in the body for a long time, it will make people feel upset and irritable over the dirt and turbid air. If the chest tightness and shortness of breath are severe, it will also damage the kidneys, resulting in backache and fatigue. Nausea, vomiting, so keeping the stool unobstructed is also a way to maintain the kidneys.
【Swallow body fluid and nourish kidney】
The saliva in the mouth is mainly divided into two parts: the thin and thin saliva, which is controlled by the spleen; the thick saliva, which is controlled by the kidney. You might as well do an experiment at home. Spit it out as soon as you feel saliva in your mouth. In less than a day, you may experience waist soreness and body fatigue. In turn, it proves that swallowing saliva can nourish the kidney essence and protect the kidneys. The role of kidney health.
