It is recommended to do aerobic exercise outdoors, such as jogging, brisk walking, skipping rope, disco, Tai Chi, etc. Long-term persistence will activate all parts of the body.

3. Soak your feet every day.

Foot soaking is the most effective method. Add 40-degree hot water to a deep basin and let the water cover your ankles. After soaking for about 20 minutes, you will feel warm all over your body, which means that your body starts to heat up after the blood circulation is smooth. The effect will be better if you rub your feet while soaking them.

4. Avoid staying up late.

Midnight is the best time to nourish yang. You should develop the good habit of going to bed early and getting up early. Going to bed before 11pm is the bottom line. It is not recommended to turn on the air conditioner when sleeping. You must pay attention to keeping warm and cover your stomach with a quilt to keep warm.

5. Supplement Yang in the Governor Vessel

Massaging the Du meridian can increase Yang energy. Massaging the Jianjing point can also relax the muscles and make the internal qi flow smoothly.

6. Seasonal Yang

Nourish yang in spring and summer. People with yang deficiency should pay special attention to keeping warm in spring, and do "spring covering". Appropriately increase outdoor activities, get sunlight, and avoid staying in cool places for a long time. People with yang deficiency constitution are mostly resistant to high temperatures. In summer, they should avoid direct exposure to electric fans and air conditioners, direct sunlight, and excessive sweating and drinking after exercise. In autumn and winter, pay attention to keeping warm and develop the habit of soaking your feet to warm your body.

7. Adjust your mindset

Joy, anger, worry, fear and panic govern the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys respectively. Optimistic emotions belong to Yang, and pessimistic emotions belong to Yin. If you can maintain an optimistic mood every day, your body will have more Yang energy.
