Many of my clients cannot understand why they still feel tired when they are living a healthy lifestyle.
Why do I feel tired all the time?
There can be many factors but our changing natural environment does not help.
Many people live in cities where food, water and air are of a low quality, which means they do not contain enough energy for our daily needs.
The air quality means there is less oxygen; the food we consume has been treated with pesticides and has less nutrients; the water we drink has less energy because of the chemical processes.
We therefore have to raid our own energy store which is often causing the battery to go flat.
What happens when we are low on energy?
Our kidneys are mostly affected by this energy shortage. In the West, the kidneys are viewed as the filtration organ. In the East they are viewed as the organ that controls the water energy to keep the body cool.
They also store our original energy (Qi) and are responsible for supplying ‘reserve’ energy to any other organ running low on Qi. As the kidneys become less able to fulfil their energetic role, we feel an overwhelming sense of tiredness as the battery is flat.
Signs that your kidneys are low in energy
As well as feeling generally tired, there are other signs that your kidneys are low in energy:
- If you are craving salt or a salty snack – the taste that corresponds to and supports the kidney is salt.
- If you are experiencing ear problems such as infections, tinnitus or deafness it may be a sign that your kidney’s energy needs support.
- If you have bone-related issues such as osteoporosis, then your kidney’s energy may be low.
- Severe panic attacks, anxiety and fear can also be a sign that your kidney energy is not balanced.
Foods to support kidney health
Bone broth, seafood or any type of bean (e.g. black beans) support the kidneys. Our beef seaweed soup will help give the kidneys a boost – the recipe is here.
