At 3:17 in the morning, I woke up again.
The waist was empty, as if someone had chipped away a piece of it.
Turning over, the bones creaked.
The daughter-in-law muttered "Turn it over again" and went to sleep.
I stared at the ceiling with my eyes wide open, recalling the meeting during the day. The manager's statement that "I'm not doing well recently" was actually only half of what he said. This is very thought-provoking.
Everyone knows the other half.
Only thirty-five.
It's embarrassing to say it.
Tried everything, nothing works
That day I secretly searched "What to eat with kidney deficiency" on Baidu, and what I found made me dizzy.
Oysters, leeks, kidneys, wolfberries...
When a man reaches this point, his IQ is basically zero.
Even though I knew it might be a psychological effect, I still went to the supermarket and bought leeks.
I had a plate of stir-fry at night, and the kids ran away holding their noses.
My wife glanced at me, and that look was worse than scolding.
"Why do you keep eating this lately?"
Let’s talk about the kidneys, hey
My favorite at the barbecue stall, lamb kidneys.
It is sizzling and oily, sprinkle a handful of cumin, take a sip, and your mouth will be full of fragrance.
I always feel that if I eat it, I can make up for something.
However, just a few days ago, I saw a piece of news in which experts from the National Health Commission came forward to express this view-eating kidneys cannot replenish the kidneys, and may even cause damage to the kidneys.
High purine, high cholesterol, barbecue style, heavy on salt.
What you eat is not a supplement, but a burden.
Once the protein in the kidneys of animals enters the human body, it will be converted into amino acids after digestion, instead of running to your kidneys in a specific direction for so-called "repair".
What’s even more frightening is that some studies have shown that the kidneys actually contain the heavy metal cadmium, and that substance, well, forget it, let’s not talk about it.
Suddenly I felt ridiculous.
Those words that "sound reasonable"
Seafood, well, contains zinc.
But do you know about gout?
Chives, aphrodisiac?
Some doctors have said that if you really want to achieve that effect, you have to eat more than ten kilograms at a time.
Nuts, okay. Can eating melon seeds prevent prostate?
Then I drank five kilograms, why am I still like this?
In fact, I knew in my heart that there was a real problem and I had to go to the hospital.
Not by eating.
Mom called
"Don't keep eating takeout, I sent you something."
Inside the package, there were black beans, red dates, and poria cocos, as well as a pack of wolfberries. The plastic bag had a tape on it that read "Cook porridge every day."
Mom didn't say those words, she just said: "You wet the bed when you were a child, and that's how I endured it for you."
She's already thirty, but she still has to worry about it.
A bowl of porridge, not that exciting, but warm
According to what she said, jujube, tuckahoe, wolfberry porridge.
Soak the glutinous rice for two hours, tear open the jujubes, wash the poria cocos and throw them into the pot together.
Bring to a boil over high heat and simmer over low heat.
After forty minutes, when the porridge is thick, sprinkle another handful of wolfberry.
To be honest, the taste is average, with a bit of earthy smell like Poria cocos.
But as I held the bowl and the hot air hit my face, I felt that my waist was no longer empty.
Things I figured out later
To replenish kidney deficiency, what should be replenished?
It's not the functionality, it's the feeling of being hollowed out.
It's the result of staying up late, being overwhelmed by stress, running out of social drinks, and being worn away by anxiety.
Your body is screaming for help, but you don’t understand, so it uses this method to tell you to stop.
There’s nothing better to eat than sleep before eleven o’clock.
real.
Not-so-"right" recipes
Anyway, I’ve written it all down, so I’ll write down a few things my mom said, just in case someone wants to try it.
Jujube, Poria and wolfberry porridge
Jujube, glutinous rice, poria, wolfberry.
Take your time, don't rush.
Treat the kind of weakness that can't sleep well and feel dizzy.
Rehmannia porridge
Rehmannia glutinosa, wolfberry, red dates, japonica rice.
Suitable for people with backache who feel tired after just two steps.
Astragalus and corn silk porridge
Astragalus, corn silk, japonica rice.
Feeling weak, sweating all the time, and feeling tired.
It's not a miracle drug.
Just a bowl of porridge.
The last few thoughts
Don't believe in the "form complements the form" mentality.
Eating kidneys cannot replenish the kidneys, and eating brains cannot replenish IQ.
Eat less salt.
Eat less barbecue.
Stay up late and stay up less.
It's useless to say that you should endure it or endure it.
But at least, try cooking a bowl of porridge.
Simply because of those ten minutes, I stayed by the pot and watched the rice and water slowly boil until they blended together, without any thoughts at that time.
It's almost dawn outside the window.
My waist doesn’t seem to be that empty anymore.
——It may also be a psychological effect.
Never mind.
