Couples often do this to stay healthy and live longer

The weather becomes cooler in autumn, and without the sweating and stuffiness of summer, people's sex life becomes more comfortable. Professor Guo Jun, director of the Department of Andrology at Xiyuan Hospital of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, reminds that in early autumn sex, one must pay attention to keeping three parts of the body warm so that one can protect one's health while enjoying romance and happiness.

Warm your waist

The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine points out that "the waist is the home of the kidneys." The kidneys and waist have a causal relationship with each other. A strong waist requires strong kidneys, and a broken waist will also damage the kidneys. If a man has sufficient kidney essence, his sexual function will be stronger. From the perspective of modern medicine, there are ejaculation centers and erection centers in the lumbar vertebrae that are closely related to male sexual function. For women, there has been a saying since ancient times that "men are afraid of damaging their livers, and women are afraid of damaging their kidneys." Women are based on blood and use qi. Qi and blood are the material basis for menstruation, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. The kidneys store essence, which is transformed into blood and then into Qi. It is a prerequisite for menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, lactation, and leucorrhea. Only when the kidney Qi is strong can the functions of menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, lactation, and leucorrhea be normal. It can be seen that protecting the waist while enjoying passion is important for the sexual function of both sexes. Therefore, it is recommended to take care of your waist during and after sex to avoid getting cold, and do not use a cooling mat after the beginning of autumn.

Warm your belly

The abdomen is the hub connecting the upper and lower parts of the body and is most afraid of cold. Many important acupoints on the human body are located here, such as "Shenque" (center of the navel), "Qihai" (1.5 inches below the navel), "Guanyuan" (3 inches below the navel), etc. Traditional Chinese medicine says that "the back is yang and the abdomen is yin." The abdomen is yin, and if the yang energy is insufficient, it is easy to be invaded by cold evil. If the abdomen is not kept warm in time after passion, men are prone to symptoms of prostatitis such as urgency and frequency of urination, as well as sexual dysfunctions such as spermatorrhea and weak erection; women are prone to uterine cold, which, in addition to cold hands and feet and dysmenorrhea, can also cause a lack of libido and desire. In addition, blood stasis caused by uterine cold may increase leucorrhea and reduce the sanitary environment in the vagina, thereby inducing pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, etc. Therefore, after sex, both men and women should cover their abdomens with a thin blanket in time to avoid gynecological or men's diseases.

Warm your feet

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the feet are the second heart of the human body. The five major meridians of the human body all run through the feet, and some important acupuncture points of the human body are distributed there, affecting the internal organs. Once the feet are exposed to cold before or after sexual intercourse, it can reflexively cause the capillaries in the respiratory mucosa to contract, resulting in a decrease in local blood flow and a decrease in disease resistance. Pathogens may take advantage of the opportunity to enter the body, easily leading to urinary, rheumatic, kidney and other diseases. Foreign studies have also found that cold feet in women can reduce their sexual desire and chance of orgasm. It is recommended to wear a pair of socks during sex, which can not only keep the feet warm but also increase the interest.
