Foods to Build Your Yang (Kidney Yang Tonics)
Cooked foods or room temperature foods are beneficial
Avoid cooling foods such as fruits, raw foods, excessive salt and use seaweed cautiously. A little of these foods are good to protect Yin. So try to get some in daily, just limit these foods.
I usually throw some Arame (sea vegetable) in when I make quinoa or rice it is good to protect Yin, and helps build the
blood.
