🌿 Kidney Deficiency? Eat More Tomatoes
Li Mr. called to say his sexual activity was frequent and he was worried about kidney deficiency leading to diseases like nephritis. Experts replied that determining whether sexual frequency is excessive should first be based on age. For young people in their 20s, 5–7 times per week is normal; for those in their 30s, 3–5 times per week; for those in their 40s, once a week; for those in their 50s, once a month. Exceeding these frequencies is considered excessive.
