What should men eat to replenish their yang energy?

Being vigorous and energetic is a sign of being a man, but in life, some men do not give such a feeling in their daily life. They always feel particularly weak, have no confidence when speaking, and are easily exhausted when doing anything. In fact, such a situation means that the man needs to replenish his yang energy in time, because from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, all kinds of manifestations indicate that the body lacks yang energy. So, what should men eat to replenish yang energy?

Since ancient times, Chinese medicine has attached great importance to the health-preserving effects of the feet. The five internal organs of the human body actually have corresponding reflex areas in the feet. Half of the 12 meridians connecting the internal organs of the human body start from the feet, and there are more than 60 acupuncture points distributed on both feet.

Modern medicine believes that the feet are the "second heart" of the human body. There are countless nerve endings in the feet that are connected to the brain and are closely related to human health. If you can insist on washing your feet with hot water before going to bed and massaging the acupuncture points on the feet with your hands to promote the circulation of qi and blood, you can get rid of the cold, open up the meridians throughout the body, enhance the body's immunity, and have the function of protecting yang and strengthening the body.

When we wash our feet, the water temperature should be maintained at 40~50℃, the water volume should be above the ankles, and soak for 15~30 minutes.

When soaking your feet, use your hands to slowly massage your feet until you feel your feet are slightly warm.

If you add some warming and yang-enhancing medicines into the water, such as Eucommia ulmoides, Yoshinoya, Sesamum indica, and Cuscuta australis, the effect will be better.
