When it comes to Yang Qi, many people will think of some scenes in martial arts dramas – a spirited old man telling a young person, “Your Yang Qi is insufficient, you should go back quickly.” And that young person looks weak and sickly. So, what exactly is Yang Qi? In traditional Chinese medicine, Yang Qi refers to “vital energy,” which is the vitality in a person’s body. If a person lacks vitality, they will become weak and prone to illness. In the human body, a person’s Yang Qi mainly comes from two aspects, one is inherited from birth, and the other is supplemented later in life. Therefore, nurturing Yang Qi in traditional Chinese medicine is actually about making efforts to gather the vitality in your body. For some men, nurturing their Yang Qi can not only maintain good health but also enhance their own charm. However, what symptoms will a person experience if their Yang Qi is insufficient?
Mental confusion
In our daily life, we will find that for some men full of masculine energy, their complexion is very good, and they appear lively, energetic, and full of vitality. On the contrary, when the body lacks masculine energy, your mind will become confused, listless, and even feel weak in the limbs. These symptoms are all caused by insufficient Yang Qi.
Easily falling ill
Scientific research indicates that men who spend long periods exposed to sunlight have a much lower risk of falling ill compared to those who sit in offices and enjoy comfortable environments. Why is that? It’s because men who spend years in offices without exposure to the sun eventually have insufficient Yang Qi in their bodies, leading to a decline in bodily functions, making it easier for bacteria to invade. This is why people working in offices often catch colds. So, when men frequently suffer from illnesses, they should pay attention to whether it is due to insufficient Yang Qi.
Cold hands and feet
During seasonal transitions, many men may find that due to style choices, they wear few clothes but end up with cold hands and feet. This is because during seasonal transitions, there is a significant temperature difference, and our bodies are very sensitive to temperature changes. At this time, Yang Qi plays a role in keeping warm by forming a protective layer around our bodies to resist wind and cold. Therefore, insufficient Yang Qi during seasonal transitions can result in cold hands and feet. So, when the seasons change, men should adapt to the weather by wearing warm clothing instead of sacrificing their Yang Qi for style, resulting in a loss rather than gain.
How to regulate insufficient Yang Qi?
Exercise regularly
Many people feel lazy and unwilling to exercise in spring, which is when their Yang Qi is weakest, which is why there is a high prevalence of seasonal illnesses in spring. Therefore, we must overcome our inertia and exercise regularly every day to improve our physical condition and stimulate our own Yang Qi.
Maintain stable sleep
The quality of sleep at night determines our mental state the next day. This is because when we stay up late, our body organs continue to work, leading to a rapid decrease in Yang Qi. That’s why whenever we stay up all night, we feel very exhausted the next day. Therefore, to replenish our Yang Qi, we must ensure good sleep.
Healthy diet
Scientific research indicates that certain foods have a significant promoting effect on the absorption of Yang Qi in the body, such as leeks and beef. These foods contain rich vitamin C and hormone-like substances, not only promoting body growth but also accelerating the absorption of Yang Qi in the body.
In conclusion, “Insufficient Yang Qi leads to various illnesses.” The editor believes that in daily life, men should pay more attention to regulating their bodies, increasing their Yang Qi, so as to radiate charming charisma.
