What other kidney-tonifying dishes are there for men?

Scallions

In some countries and regions, scallions are regarded as the embodiment of love and sexual desire. For example, in the Balkan Peninsula of Africa, young men and women of some ethnic groups must prepare scallions when they get married. One is to hope that the newlyweds are healthy and happy, and the other is to hope that the groom is more manly. Scallions are rich in various nutrients, which can dilate blood vessels and promote blood circulation, which is very good for cardiovascular health. Modern medical research shows that the various vitamins in scallions can ensure the normal secretion of human hormones and can effectively stimulate sexual desire, thereby "strengthening yang and replenishing yin". For men, scallions or chives should be eaten 3 times a week. They can be used for cooking, cold salad, or as a seasoning.

Chinese chives

Leek has the effects of warming the middle and lowering qi, nourishing the kidneys and invigorating yang. While enhancing energy, it has an excellent therapeutic effect on male erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. Therefore, ancient medical books called it "yang-enhancing grass", and modern people also gave it the title of "vegetable Viagra".

Leeks contain protein, fat, carbohydrates, and rich carotene and vitamin C, as well as minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron. For men, fried leeks with shrimp or fried leeks with eggs are both easy-to-make "yang-enhancing dishes" and should be eaten more often. It should be noted that leeks are not easy to digest and should not be eaten too much at one time. People with irritability, cheekbone flushing, dry mouth and unwillingness to drink water, red tongue with little coating, and easy sweating should eat less, and people with allergies should not eat it.
