What to eat when you have insufficient yang energy

People with insufficient Yang are very afraid of cold because there is no Yang to provide heating. Their hands and feet are cold and difficult to warm up, which is a sign of cold constitution. However, people with insufficient Yang can eat more Yang-replenishing foods. Many fruits have the function of replenishing Yang. Do not eat cold foods, as this will accelerate the loss of Yang. In normal times, get more sun and exercise, so that the blood in the whole body is circulating.

Some people think that if Yang Qi is insufficient, they should eat more kidney-tonifying herbs. This method is unreliable because excessive supplementation can also have adverse effects. Therefore, the real method is to rely on diet therapy to supplement nutrition and use food to improve the situation of insufficient Yang Qi.

Insufficient Yang Qi is a Yang deficiency constitution, which has the following symptoms: preference for warmth and fear of cold, pale and dull complexion, fatigue in the limbs, frequent sweating, or accompanied by cold pain in the waist and spine, cold uterus, etc.

Environmental Photography

Since people with yang deficiency constitution like warmth and fear cold, and can tolerate spring and summer but not autumn and winter, they should pay attention to environmental adjustment to improve their body's resistance. They should sunbathe regularly for 15 to 20 minutes each time, as ultraviolet rays can help improve their body's resistance.

Drug treatment

For those with deficiency of Yang in the heart, it is suitable to use Guizhi Jia Fuzi Decoction; for those with deficiency of Yang in the spleen, it is suitable to use Lizhong Decoction; for those with deficiency of Yang in the kidney, it is suitable to take Jinbian Shenqi Pills.

Mental Care

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Yang deficiency is a further development of Qi deficiency. Therefore, people with insufficient Yang often show bad moods and are easily sad. Therefore, they must strengthen their mental conditioning, be good at regulating their emotions, get rid of sadness, prevent fear and anger, and eliminate the influence of negative emotions.

Strengthen physical exercise

Because "movement generates yang", it is recommended to exercise 1 to 2 times a day for more than 1 hour. The specific items depend on your physical strength.

Eat more: such as mutton, dog meat, chicken, eggs, soybeans, black beans, fish, seaweed, red dates and black sesame seeds, etc.

Therefore, the key to treating Yang deficiency is still diet therapy. As long as the food in life can replenish Yang, you can eat it in moderation, but not too much or too greasy. The taste should still be light. Yang deficiency comes slowly and cannot be recovered all at once, so the patient needs to persevere in order to slowly improve his body condition.
