Many of the issues that plague men – stress, back problems, sports injuries, urinary problems and problems with sexual function – are all linked to energy imbalances. Most of these imbalances relate to kidney function, which is related to the winter season. Some beneficial foods and spices to help boost kidney function are black beans, black sesame seeds, cauliflower, cinnamon, pine nuts, walnuts, and seafood.
Delicious and easy to prepare, this recipe combines two nourishing foods: salmon to improve your Kidney Qi (Winter) and green onions to benefit your Liver (Spring). You can use salmon fillets, steaks or even whole fish. Preheat the oven to 425, then bake the fish, keeping this rule in mind: for every inch of thickness (measuring the fish at its thickest part), bake for 10 minutes.
