In autumn, men should focus on nourishing their bodies during this golden period by eating more of these 4 kinds of “yang-supporting vegetables” to keep their bodies strong and energy abundant.
It’s finally cooled down quite a bit. We’ve planned a trip to climb the mountains with two families these days. It’s a shame not to do something in such comfortable weather. While we still have the strength to hike, we should hurry to visit all the places we want to go. In a few years, when our legs aren’t as agile, going out will be a hassle, let alone traveling.
Autumn is the perfect time for nourishing oneself, especially for men. This moment is crucial for strengthening the body to ensure a safe autumn and winter. As the cornerstone of the family, it’s essential to eat and drink well. I recommend everyone eat more of these 4 kinds of “yang-supporting vegetables” to enhance their vitality and energy, so they can engage in whatever activities they desire.
1. Chestnuts
In autumn, chestnuts begin to appear in large quantities, and men should eat more. If you don’t like candied chestnuts, we can use them to stew with chicken or boil them, both of which are great options. Chestnuts have excellent effects on nourishing the kidneys and supporting yang.

Ingredients: chestnuts, chicken, ginger, green onions, salt, chicken bouillon, sugar, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, cooking wine, cooking oil
1. First, prepare the chicken by placing it in a pot, adding green onions and ginger, and blanching with cooking wine. After that, remove it and rinse with warm water to clean it, set aside. Peel the chestnuts and set aside, slice the ginger, and cut the green onions into sections.
2. Pour oil into the pot, heat it, then add the chicken and stir-fry for a while. After the chicken is cooked, add the green onions and ginger to enhance the aroma. Then add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, cooking wine, and sugar for seasoning, followed by the chestnuts. Add boiling water and start stewing. Bring it to a boil over high heat, then simmer for 40 minutes on low heat. Finally, add salt and chicken bouillon for seasoning, reduce the broth a bit, and serve.
2. Oysters
Oysters, I don’t need to say much about these. Their nutritional value is extremely high, making them very beneficial for kidney nourishment, supplementing deficiencies, and supporting yang.
