For men, the essence of health preservation lies in nourishing yang energy. Rural folks often say that a person lives on vigor, which refers to yang energy. Men need to be vigorous, which is all about yang energy. It can be said that yang energy is closely related to a man’s dignity. When yang energy is insufficient, men will lose face in all aspects of life, lacking dignity. So, how exactly does a deficiency in yang energy affect men?
What does it look like when a man lacks yang energy?
It is said that men have fiery tempers, but this fiery temper originates from the yang energy in their bodies. When yang energy is sufficient, they are not afraid of cold; but when yang energy is lacking, they feel cold all over and become more sensitive to cold. Some men are very sensitive to cold in daily life. Even though they are in their thirties or forties, they dress heavily, even thicker than women of the same age. Such men are usually deficient in yang energy, with cold hands and feet, unable to warm up even when wrapped in blankets for a long time. In winter, they will appear timid because of their fear of cold, often hunching their necks and rubbing their hands.
A man with sufficient yang energy should have a good physical constitution and rarely catch colds or suffer from minor illnesses. When yang energy is insufficient, cold invades the body, causing an imbalance. Their physical condition deteriorates, resistance weakens, immune response decreases, and even slight temperature changes can lead to runny noses, sneezing, and so on. They may experience back pain from sitting for a short time, breathlessness from walking a short distance. These are typical signs of insufficient yang energy.
With a lack of yang energy, men’s interest in intimacy may also diminish. Some women may notice that their husbands seem indifferent to them, keeping a distance in bed. Instead of blaming them immediately or thinking they did something wrong, it is likely that their bodies lack yang energy, causing them to lack the drive, thus gradually losing interest in such matters. Don’t lose hope; if you can help them regulate, their bodies can recover.
There is a very common exercise that is very helpful for men to restore yang energy. In the park, you often see elderly people standing naturally with their hands crossed behind them, tilting their heads back, and then exerting force by pulling their arms backward or downward, lasting about 30 seconds. This is a very effective method called spine pinching. The body’s yang energy is mainly stored in the back. Many people like to sunbathe in winter to boost yang energy, making use of this fact. Practicing spine pinching can stimulate many meridians at the back and provide a stretching effect on muscles, which encourages yang energy.
Another method is to consume Polygonatum officinale and honey. Polygonatum officinale is a food that nourishes the middle and benefits qi, promoting metabolism and regulating the spleen and stomach. The spleen and stomach are key to transforming and generating yang energy. Improving the spleen and stomach function will help yang energy flourish. Honey can aid in detoxification and is also beneficial to the spleen and stomach. After boiling Polygonatum officinale for half an hour, add an equal amount of honey and it can be consumed. If men persist in taking this combination for a period of time, their bodies will improve, and their abilities will enhance.
Throughout a man’s life, yang energy is indispensable. Success, family life, and all aspects require sufficient yang energy to maintain. Without yang energy, there is less vigor, weakened physical constitution, and diminished dignity. Pay attention to bodily changes and take action promptly upon discovery. By following the recommended methods, the body can quickly recover, thus regaining the dignity of being a man.
