The easiest way for men to nourish their yang energy

Men can nourish Yang Qi through five simple methods: adjusting living habits, diet, moderate exercise, acupoint massage and emotional management.

1. Living habits:

Maintaining a regular schedule is the basis for nourishing Yang Qi. Falling asleep before 11 o'clock at night helps the liver and gallbladder meridian run, and avoids staying up late to consume yang energy. Pay attention to keeping your waist and abdomen warm. Avoid direct air conditioning in summer. In winter, you can properly bask in the back to replenish your yang energy. Control the frequency of sexual intercourse to avoid excessive consumption of kidney yang.

2. Diet conditioning:

You can eat more warm and tonic foods every day, such as mutton, leeks, walnuts, etc., and avoid raw and cold foods. Drinking ginger and red date water on an empty stomach in the morning can warm and replenish spleen yang, and mutton soup 2-3 times a week can replenish kidney yang. In winter, eat black sesame, wolfberry and other medicinal and edible ingredients in moderation, but those with yin deficiency and excessive fire need to adjust the compatibility.

3. Moderate exercise:

Choose gentle exercises such as Baduanjin and Tai Chi, and focus on practicing Yang-rising movements such as "holding the three energizers of heaven with both hands". Walking briskly for 30 minutes or squatting 20 times a day can promote the rise of Yang Qi. Avoid taking a shower immediately after exercise. You can sunbathe in winter, choose to bask in the sun for 15 minutes from 9 to 10 a.m.

4. Acupoint health care:

Regularly massage acupuncture points 3 inches below the navel of Guanyuan point and below the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebra of Mingmen point. Press each point for 3 minutes until it feels slightly warm. Moxibustion at Zusanli and Shenshu points twice a week for 10-15 minutes each time. Rubbing hot hands and massaging the lower back before going to bed can promote the growth of kidney yang.

5. Emotional regulation:

To avoid being in a state of long-term tension and anxiety, you can relieve stress through meditation and deep breathing. Cultivate calming hobbies such as calligraphy and fishing to maintain a peaceful mind. Excessive anger will damage liver yang. It is recommended to vent negative emotions through exercise and maintain emotional comfort.

Nourishment of yang requires long-term lifestyle management. It is recommended to drink warm honey water in the morning and eat spleen-strengthening ingredients such as yam and gorgon seeds on a daily basis to avoid damage to kidney yang from sitting and standing for long periods of time. In winter, you can appropriately increase the intake of nuts such as walnuts and chestnuts, and soak your feet in hot water for 20 minutes every day. If symptoms such as persistent chills and sexual hypofunction occur, it is recommended to seek medical treatment promptly to check for pathological factors such as hypothyroidism. Pay attention to the balance between work and rest in daily life, avoid overwork and damage Yang Qi, and maintain moderate exercise habits to help Yang Qi grow.
