3. Diet regulation
Dietary regulation is mainly based on foods that nourish the kidneys, such as those of black color.
Three foods are recommended here: black fungus, mulberry and black beans.
1) Black fungus:
Kidney tonification and detoxification.
For people with kidney stone after lithotripsy, some doctors may advise them to eat more black fungus, which would help discharge the stones.
Contraindication: Black fungus could promote blood circulation, so patients with bleeding tendency should stay away from it. Since black fungus is rich in dietary fiber, people prone to diarrhea or of weak digestive function are not suitable for eating black fungus either.
2) Mulberry:
Kidney tonification, especially for the health of male reproductive system.
If man drank a little mulberry juice every day, it would improve vitality of the body and improve quality of sexual life. For infertile couples, if the male had symptoms of weak sperm, one could also eat more mulberry or drink more mulberry juice.
Contraindication: Women should be conservative, because mulberry is slightly cold in nature, one must eat less of it during menstruation.
3) Black bean:
According to “Compendium of Materia Medica”: regular eating of black beans would dispel all diseases. So black bean is not only good for kidneys, but also overall wellness of the body.
Contraindication: black beans soaked in vinegar tastes well, but may not be suitable for those allergic to plant proteins or of poor digestion.
