Dr. Zhang Xiuhong
Improving kidney function and enhancing yang energy through diet is a relatively gentle approach with fewer side effects. Below are some dietary recommendations:
1. Meats: Such as lamb, dog meat, beef penis, and donkey meat. These meats have a warming effect on the kidneys and can help alleviate symptoms of kidney yang deficiency.
2. Seafood: Including oysters, shrimp, sea cucumbers, and eels. These foods are rich in trace elements like zinc and selenium, which may help improve sexual function.
3. Nuts: Such as walnut kernels, peanuts, and pine nuts. These foods are rich in vitamin E and minerals, which can help enhance kidney function.
4. Lycium barbarum (goji berries): Goji berries are commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine for nourishing the kidneys and enhancing yang energy. They can be steeped in water or added to meals.
5. Honey: Rich in various vitamins and minerals, honey can help increase physical stamina and sexual capacity.
6. Sesame seeds: Sesame seeds contain abundant unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, and zinc, which can help nourish the kidneys.
However, food cannot replace medical treatment. If symptoms worsen, seek medical attention promptly.
