For people with kidney yin deficiency, a light diet should be used to reduce mental stress, and it is particularly suitable for eating goji berries for conditioning. It should be emphasized that it is best to chew goji berries. You can choose Ningxia goji berries that are dark red, oval, moist, and sweet. Chew 15-40 capsules in the morning and evening, and long-term chewing (1-3 months) will have an effect. Friends who find dry chewing of goji berries tasteless may add goji berries to their milk, but remember to chew them in your mouth a few times and chew them thoroughly before swallowing them.
Another food for tonifying kidney yin is turtle. One turtle can be washed and stewed in water, with a slight addition of Yin nourishing drugs such as pepper, goji berries, jade bamboo, and ginseng.
The drugs for tonifying kidney yang are commonly known as deer antler, cistanche deserticola, morinda officinalis, and epimedium.
In terms of food, it is recommended to chew walnuts for a long time, taking 1-3 capsules twice a day. Drinking some sliced lamb soup in winter is also very nourishing for kidney yang. You can stew one kilogram of lamb with 25 grams of cooked sliced pork, and add seasonings such as ginger and pepper. After boiling at high heat, simmer at low heat for one and a half hours.
Fupian is the first essential medicine for warming and tonifying kidney yang, which has a certain effect on various symptoms of kidney deficiency. Lamb is also considered yang in food, with a warm nature and can assist in the warming and tonifying kidney yang function of Fupian.
