Differentiation of physical fitness is only effective for symptomatic dietary therapy in men's aphrodisiac development

Throughout the year, major supplements such as lamb, which have aphrodisiac properties, have become a favorite among male friends on the dining table. However, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine in our country, some foods that promote masculinity are not suitable for any male who needs to promote masculinity. Before consuming these foods, we must distinguish our physical constitution and then eat targeted foods that promote masculinity, which is scientific.

To tonify the kidney and strengthen yang, first distinguish one's own constitution

Dog meat, deer whips, sea cucumbers... All the popular aphrodisiac and kidney tonifying foods among the people are eagerly sought after by men, thinking that eating these foods can improve sexual function and become "superheroes" in bed.

However, the term 'tonifying the kidney and strengthening yang' referred to in traditional Chinese medicine does not necessarily refer to folk sexual function enhancement. Experts say that in the view of traditional Chinese medicine, the kidney is the "innate foundation" and the "source of life". Kidney deficiency can be divided into yin deficiency and yang deficiency. Only tonifying kidney yang can have a certain relationship with impotence, premature ejaculation, etc., which is commonly referred to as "strengthening yang" and can only work for people with kidney yang deficiency. And if it's just kidney yin deficiency, the original yin deficiency has already become "hot", and then eating warm aphrodisiacs is equivalent to "adding oil to the fire".

So, one principle to pay attention to when tonifying the kidney and strengthening yang is to distinguish one's own constitution.

Cold limbs, fear of cold, decreased libido, what does kidney yang deficiency supplement?

Dietary supplement is mainly based on tonifying the kidney and fixing yang, nourishing blood and essence. Especially for people with kidney yang deficiency, they are prone to symptoms such as limb cold, fear of cold, pale complexion, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, pale tongue, and thin tongue coating.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that 'deficiency can be replenished, while reality can be reduced'. For kidney yang deficiency, tonifying the kidney and strengthening yang is naturally the most suitable method. In winter, people with kidney yang deficiency should eat more warm foods, especially those that can warm and nourish the kidney yang, such as mutton, dog meat, beef, goose, chicken, etc., or some Chinese medicinal materials such as cinnamon, deer antler, etc. The representative of traditional Chinese patent medicines and simple preparations is Jinkui Shenqi Pill. In daily diet, it is necessary to appropriately consume foods that are rich in nutrients, warm the kidneys and replenish the essence, high in calorie production, and easy to digest. This can complement the deficiency of the body, benefit the kidney's qi, and enhance immunity.

Principle of nourishing: For men with kidney yang deficiency, they should eat more aphrodisiac foods in winter, such as fish, shrimp, oysters, eel, and other foods. This type of food is rich in nutrients and helps to tonify the kidneys and strengthen yang.
