What are the dietary methods for nourishing the kidney and strengthening yang?

Kidney deficiency and insufficient yang are situations that many men in modern society will encounter. This is because with the changes in the social environment, the way of working has also changed greatly. Men often sit in the office, lack exercise and walking, and due to long-term overtime, staying up late, irregular eating and other reasons, the physical constitution becomes weak, so the kidney deficiency situation becomes more and more serious, so nourishing the kidney and strengthening yang has become something that many men have to do.

There are many ways to nourish the kidney and strengthen yang. It is both healthy and convenient to nourish the kidney and strengthen yang through diet therapy.

Kidney-tonifying food: Chinese yam. Chinese yam is mild in nature and sweet in taste. It is a "top-grade" medicine in traditional Chinese medicine. In addition to its lung-tonifying and spleen-strengthening effects, it can also benefit the kidneys and replenish essence. For example, Li Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty pointed out that Chinese yam "benefits kidney qi and strengthens the spleen and stomach." "Compendium of Materia Medica" also states: "Chinese yam can strengthen the spleen and replenish deficiency, nourish essence and strengthen the kidneys, treat all kinds of deficiency and damage, and cure five kinds of fatigue and seven kinds of injuries." "Compendium of Materia Medica" also says: "Chinese yam can replenish the kidneys and replenish essence. If the essence is sufficient, the yin will be strong, the eyes will be bright, and the ears will be sharp. All top-grade medicines should be taken for a long time, for a lifetime or for a few years, and they should be taken together with the five kinds of grains to achieve longevity." Therefore, people with kidney deficiency should eat it regularly.

Kidney-tonifying food: eggs. It is undeniable that eggs are one of the best kidney-tonifying foods because eggs are the nutritional carrier of human sexual function and the best "reducing agent" for restoring vitality after sexual intercourse.

Kidney-tonifying food: shrimp. Shrimp is a widely recognized kidney-tonifying food. It can nourish the kidneys, strengthen yang, promote lactation and detoxify. It is rich in protein, lipids, minerals, vitamins, especially calcium and phosphorus, and is a good bone-strengthening food. Shrimp extracts also contain immune-enhancing substances.
