In winter, nourishing yang is more important than strengthening yang

The "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" believes that the growth and development cycle of men is 8 years, "When a man is 58, his kidney qi declines, his hair falls out, and his teeth become loose..." This means that when a man reaches 40, he will begin to suffer from kidney failure, hair loss, and loose teeth. Therefore, men only need to nourish their kidneys and strengthen their body's vitality at least when they are 40 years old. How can young men suffer from kidney deficiency? Most aphrodisiac drugs are very hot and dry. If you take aphrodisiac drugs when your Yang Qi is not deficient, your Yang Qi will be excessive and your Yin Qi will be deficient, which will bring more problems.

If you need to strengthen your yang to enhance sexual performance, take sexual dysfunction and impotence as an example: According to clinical research, 5.16% of impotence patients suffer from weak yang qi, and even fewer suffer from weak kidney yang qi, accounting for 1.6%. Think about it, among patients with impotence, there are so few who suffer from yang deficiency, let alone other problems. Occasional unsatisfactory sex has nothing to do with kidney deficiency or aphrodisiac.

Men need to nourish the kidneys and strengthen their yang

Staying up late: often going to bed at 2 or 3 a.m., getting too little sleep

Polysexuality: Every night, doing too much

1. Low temperatures nourish the yang and warm the body

The temperature is low in winter, and people with sufficient yang energy have strong resistance to the cold. The fear of cold is caused by problems with one's own heating system. In our body, the abundant Yang energy of the human body is the source of heat. Moreover, many seasonal diseases in winter are related to the invasion of cold air. Therefore, everyone needs to nourish the Yang energy in a trickle to resist the severe cold.

2. Yang nourishment, dietary supplementation is the most important, Yang nourishment food classification

Second level Yang nourishment: Eat twice a week: spring bamboo shoots, leeks, chicken, longan, potatoes

Level 1 Yang nourishment: Eat once a week in winter: mutton, beef, dog meat, Euryale ferox, ginger

Special Yang-nourishing Herbs: People who want to replenish their Yang energy need to eat: Cistanche deserticola, deer antler, epimedium, ginseng, and Eucommia bark.

3. Less exercise will cause male yang energy to be inactive.

(1) Exercise for half an hour every day.

The Yang energy in the human body is dynamic, rising and active. If you don't like to exercise, your Yang energy will become lazy. Only when we start moving first can the Yang Energy be restored. You will soon find that the body is not lacking in Yang Energy, it has just been stored in the warehouse. You don't have to exercise a lot, half an hour a day is enough.

(2) Drink walnut juice.

45 grams of walnuts, 60 grams of glutinous rice, and 200 grams of milk. Wash the japonica rice, soak it in water for 1 hour, and then grind it into a paste with walnuts and milk. Heat in a pot and boil, then drink as tea. Walnuts have a warming and tonic effect on Yang Qi, preventing it from becoming excessive, while at the same time speeding up metabolism and promoting Yang Qi appropriately.

(3) Moxibustion promotes the flow of Yang Qi.

The moxibustion points are Dazhui and Mingmen. The Dazhui point is located at the back of the neck, below the bone that protrudes when you lower your head. This acupoint is a yang point on the yang meridian, which has the function of penetrating the yang meridian. It is the preferred acupoint for treating cold diseases. The Mingmen point is located in the lower back, corresponding to the navel. Moxibustion on the Mingmen point can warm, promote and stimulate the development of various organs.

4. Meat-eating men have too much Yang energy, so keep it balanced.

(1) Eat more nourishing foods.

Food can be divided into cold, hot, and neutral properties. Choosing neutral food for nourishment is the principle of tonic when the Yang energy is excessive. Foods that can be chosen for balanced tonic include wild rice stem, pumpkin, lotus seeds, longan, black sesame, red dates, etc. These foods also have the function of regulating the spleen and stomach and nourishing yin. They can help the spleen and stomach digest excessive meat and help balance yin and yang.

(2) Foot bath: Yongquan acupoint: Yongquan acupoint is located on the sole of the foot, in the front 1/3 of the foot.

This is the first point of the kidney meridian, which means that the qi of the kidney meridian is like water from a spring, originating from the feet and flowing out to irrigate all parts of the body. Soaking your feet in hot water every night while massaging the Yongquan acupoint can calm the kidney's yang energy and regulate the balance of yin and yang.

(3) Drink a glass of fruit or vegetable juice every day.

Take a celery, a green pepper and a green apple, squeeze them into juice and drink a glass every day. These are foods with relatively high fiber content, which can eliminate toxins in the stomach and intestines and reduce the inflammation caused by eating too much meat.

5. Men who stay up late will lose their Yang energy too quickly, so replenish it

(1) Drink ginseng tea.

Add 9 grams of ginseng slices and 3 grams of tea leaves into boiling water and brew it. Start brewing when you get to the office in the morning and drink it until you get off work. Ginseng has obvious effects in replenishing qi and yang, strengthening the kidneys and body. Drinking it for a long time can benefit the body.

(2) Eat yang-boosting medicinal foods.

Winter is suitable for replenishing the body's yang. Eating some foods that warm and nourish the kidney yang will not easily cause getting angry, such as lamb, beef, leek, and longan. When eating, you can add some yang-tonifying medicines, such as Cistanche, Eucommia, Gorgon, cloves, etc., which will greatly replenish the yang.

(3) Moxibustion on the “Yangqi Point”.

Health practitioners are very concerned about the maintenance of the Dantian area, which is the location of the Guanyuan (3 inches below the navel) and Qihai (1.5 inches below the navel) acupoints mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine. They are like the source of the body's yang energy. Applying moxibustion on these two acupoints is equivalent to heating from the source, and the body will naturally become warm.

Especially people with yang deficiency. However, nourishing Yang is different from strengthening Yang. The purpose is to balance Yin and Yang, not just to strengthen Yang. You need to see the situation clearly. If Yang is not enough, you can replenish it. If Yang is too much, you can release some of it. You also need to choose a method. People with different Yin and Yang imbalances have their own set of methods to nourish Yang.

6. People with yang deficiency constitution especially need to nourish yang

What is Yang deficiency constitution? Such people look white and plump, have little muscle, pale complexion, light-colored lips, hair loss, frequent diarrhea, quiet and introverted personality, and they themselves also suffer from loss of appetite, nausea and burping easily, fear of cold, cold hands and feet in winter, and restless sleep. If you suspect that you have a yang deficiency, it is best to consult a Chinese medicine doctor to figure out which type of yang deficiency you have and then treat it accordingly.
