Introduction: The reason why all things in the world can grow strong and healthy is due to the warmth of yang energy, and in fact, our bodies are no exception!
Yang energy is like a little sun within our bodies, warming every corner. Once there is a deficiency of yang energy, the body will encounter various problems, such as sensitivity to cold, weakness in the lower back and knees, increased susceptibility to illness, and sweating profusely for no reason, among others.
Next, I will introduce three foods that can replenish yang energy, which can easily meet the body’s yang energy needs for the entire year!
Lamb
According to relevant data, every 100 grams of lamb contains abundant protein and various vitamins, which can effectively enhance the body’s yang energy levels. Imagine enjoying a bowl of steaming hot lamb soup on a cold winter day; the flavor not only warms the stomach but also replenishes yang energy, instantly boosting your vitality.
Specific method: First, debone the lamb leg, soak it in cold water for 3 hours to remove blood, then place it in a pot, add a few slices of ginger, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, and fennel, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer on low heat for 2 hours, turn off the heat and let it steep for 1 hour before consuming.
Leeks
In our country, leeks have long been known as “yang grass” and are one of the rare ingredients that replenish our body’s needs. Experts suggest that regularly consuming leeks can promote the generation of yang energy. Whether in scrambled eggs with leeks or dumplings filled with leeks, the unique aroma and rich nutrition all contribute to enhancing your yang energy.
Ingredients: 150 grams of leeks, 50 grams of dried shrimp, 4 eggs.
Specific method: First, sauté the eggs and dried shrimp separately in the pan, then add the chopped leeks and stir-fry until just tender, seasoning with salt to taste, and mix well.
Ningxia White Goji Berries
When talking about replenishing yang energy, one cannot forget a certain herb, which is the white goji berry that grows in the Ningxia region of our country. Compared to ordinary goji berries, Ningxia’s white goji berries are not only characterized by their clearly visible white tips and resistance to sticking together over time, but more importantly, they are rich in polysaccharides, selenium, beta-carotene, and active components such as vitamins A1, B1, B2, and C, which are ten times more than those found in ordinary goji berries.
Ingredients: 15 white goji berries, 5 grams of astragalus, 5 grams of male raspberry leaves.
Specific method: Place the three ingredients into a cup and add about 300 milliliters of warm water, steep for about 5 minutes before drinking.
Benefits: Boiling these three together not only quickly replenishes the yang energy needed by the body but is also very helpful for alleviating lower back and knee weakness, sensitivity to cold, and weakness in the lower back caused by kidney yang deficiency.
