Why does 'gout' always start with the feet? Mostly because of this, don't take it lightly!
I thought that gout was only a disease of the elderly, but unknowingly, more and more people in their 30s and 40s have gout. This age can be said to be a good time to be high-spirited, but suffering from gout, it is really painful, and it is difficult to even walk, which affects normal life and work.
And when this disease does not occur, there is no discomfort in the body. Just go to the hospital for an examination like a normal person, and nothing can be found. It will only tell you that the uric acid level is a little high, you should pay more attention, and nothing else. matter.
And for health reasons, most doctors will advise you to pay more attention to your daily diet, not to eat too many high-protein foods, not to drink alcohol, etc. Many people will immediately pay attention to changing their dietary structure for health reasons after listening to it. They do not eat a single bite of the food that should be avoided. However, no matter what, they go to the hospital for an examination. The uric acid is still high, and the gout is still the same as before.
Moreover, we also found that when most people have gout attacks, it often starts from the feet, and later it will gradually spread to the knees. Why is this? Why does "gout" always start with the feet? Mostly because of this, don't take it lightly!
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 toxin in the blood cannot be excreted normally, and the blood circulation of the human body will cause these toxins to travel to all parts of the body. The big toe joint is the most peripheral joint of the human body, and acidosis is easy to gather in this place. Of course, some people have thumb joint pain for the same reason.
If you find that the uric acid level is too high, you just pay attention to the taboos without expelling the toxins in the body, which is equivalent to "treating the symptoms but not the root cause". Only by adjusting our kidneys, restoring the filtering function of the kidneys, and expelling the toxins accumulated in the joints can we achieve this goal. The possibility of gout recurrence is reduced 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 acidosis in the body.
【Protect your feet and keep warm】
Keeping the feet warm is a way to nourish the kidneys. This is because the kidney meridian originates 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. Before going to bed, do not put your feet directly on the air conditioner or electric fan, 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 has a stimulating effect on the acupoints of the feet and can help regulate the kidney meridian. When soaking your feet, you can also gently massage the foot joints, which can nourish the kidneys and strengthen the essence.
【Stool should be smooth】
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 irritable and irritable. Nausea, vomiting, so keeping your bowels open is also a way to take care of your kidneys.
【Swallowing Jin and nourishing the kidney】
The saliva in the mouth is mainly divided into two parts: the thin saliva, which is dominated by the spleen; and the thick saliva, which is dominated by the kidney. You might as well do an experiment at home and spit it out as soon as you feel saliva in your mouth. In less than a day, you may experience a sore waist and an abnormal feeling of fatigue. In turn, swallowing saliva proves that swallowing saliva can nourish the kidney essence and protect it. The role of kidney health.
