Arginine is an essential component of sperm formation, which can promote the release of nitric oxide, relax blood vessels and increase blood flow, thus enhancing male sexual desire. Foods rich in arginine include walnuts and peas. It should be reminded that soybean isoflavones in soy products belong to phytoestrogens, which will not feminize men and reduce bone loss in men.
2. Allium vegetables such as garlic and leek
Garlic, onion and leek are called "men's dishes". They not only have strong bactericidal ability, but also help to absorb vitamin B 1, promote sugar metabolism and relieve fatigue.

Three, broccoli, white radish and other cruciferous vegetables

According to the latest report in Britain, cruciferous vegetables help to prevent the spread of pre-broccoli cells, and it is best to eat them raw or slightly cooked. It should be noted that when eating such vegetables, you should chew them fully, which is conducive to the better release of health care ingredients.
The basic principle of health preservation in winter should also be "hiding". Because the metabolism of the human body is relatively low after yang qi is stored, it is necessary to rely on the "kidney" as the driving force of life to ensure that life activities can adapt to the changes in nature. In winter, normal renal function can adjust the body to adapt to the changes in severe winter, otherwise it will cause metabolic disorder and produce diseases. Therefore, keeping in good health in winter is very important. So how to keep healthy in winter? The following small series brings you winter health care knowledge.
Personal health care: Huangdi Neijing pointed out: "Go to bed early and get up late to wait for the sun." It means to go to bed early and get up late in winter, and it is better to get up after the sun comes out (especially for the elderly). Pay attention to the following points in daily life in winter: first, talk about "clothing climate" when dressing, that is, the temperature between the inner layer of clothing and the skin should always be kept at 32℃~33℃. This ideal "clothing climate" can buffer the invasion of cold climate on human body. Secondly, pay attention to the warmth of your feet.
Because the foot is farthest from the heart, the blood supply is small and slow, so the skin temperature of the foot is the lowest. Chinese medicine believes that cold feet will inevitably affect internal organs, which can lead to diarrhea, irregular menstruation, impotence, low back pain and other diseases. Third, opening windows regularly in winter is good for your health. Fourth, it is not advisable to sleep with your head covered. Sleeping with your head covered in winter is extremely suitable for chest tightness and shortness of breath caused by lack of oxygen. Fifth, avoid urinating at night. Because of the long winter night, holding urine for a long time will accumulate toxic substances, causing cystitis and urethritis.
Exercise strengthens the body: As the saying goes: "Exercise more in winter and get sick less; If you are lazy in winter, drink an extra bowl. "Facts have proved that participating in outdoor activities in winter can make the body get appropriate cold stimulation, accelerate the heart beating, deepen breathing, strengthen metabolism in the body, increase the heat generated by the body, and be beneficial to health.
Psychological nursing: In addition to maintaining psychological peace, we should learn to adjust bad emotions in time when God is hiding in it, and restore psychological peace as soon as possible when we are in a state of tension, excitement, anxiety and depression. At the same time, seasonal affective disorder should be prevented in winter.
The so-called seasonal affective disorder refers to the phenomenon that some people are prone to depression, lethargy and groggy in winter, and it appears every year. This phenomenon is more common among young people, especially women. The way to prevent it is to get more sunshine, which is a natural therapy to regulate emotions.
Diet conditioning: The basic principle of diet in winter should be "storing calories". Therefore, the foods to be eaten in winter are mutton, dog meat, goose, duck, radish, walnut, chestnut and sweet potato. At the same time, we should follow the principle of "eat less salty and suffer more": winter is the time when the kidney meridian is vigorous, while the kidney is salty and the heart is bitter. If you eat too much salty taste, the kidney water that is already high will become stronger, thus weakening the power of the heart yang. Therefore, we should eat more bitter food to help the heart yang. Avoid sticky cold food in winter diet, because this kind of food belongs to "drinking", which is easy to damage the yang of the spleen and stomach, so we should pay more attention to this kind of menu.
Eat more warm food and less cold food. Food health care should be supplemented in winter. Traditional health preserving science divides food into three categories: cold, warm and flat. In winter, the climate is cold. In order to keep warm, people should eat more warm food and less cold food. Warm foods include glutinous rice, sorghum rice, chestnuts, jujubes, walnuts, almonds, leeks, coriander, pumpkin, ginger, onions and garlic.
