I’ve been trying to mix in traditional Chinese medicine in with my fitness routine and I’m looking for advice. I’m primarily focusing on maximizing my yang for gains. So far I’m >Eating yang boosting foods like lamb, beef, and spicy foods like peppers to increase my digestive fire>Wearing auspicious colors like yellow and red at all times, especially when working out>Taking some multivitamins with hot sauce and 5 mg of mercury daily >Improving the feng shui of my workout spaceThe latter is particularly troublesome because none of my local gyms have that so I’m going to have to start building up my home gym. Anyone else have some advice. I want to yang max until I can get to my target weight and physique then I can balance my diet a bit more. Does anyone know the Chinese medicine stance on supplements? Eggs are strictly neutral so I can’t eat egg whites as my primary source of protein.
>>76675414I was gonna write that you should cultivate yin in order to have balance, but why bother? The world itself will teach you in due tome
>>76675414>5 mg of mercury dailyWhat?
>>76675414How to feng shui my shit? It seems fun.
>>76675736Ignore jade beauties and cultivate the martial dao.
>>76675414dont forget the semen retentionone drop of semen is worth ten drops of bloodit is your precious jing
when i was reading some shit about buddhism taoism kept coming up. so yeah i do know what it is without having read a single thing
>>76675414i think that if you want to follow the teachings of the tao then you should probably read the tao. it's important to remember that it's not 'ancient chinese wisdom' in the traditional sense because it was written by someone who was a member of a people who died out long ago, a culture of people who were massacred by the modern day chinese in one of their many bloody (*and sometimes cannibalistic) civil wars over the eons. that said, most modern chinese are not taoists. good luck with your fitness goals.

>>76675869you can cope all you want but even old boxing wisdom knows
>>76675736TLDR>Dont block or obscure windows, it drains energy from the space, and try to avoid placing anything between the window and door>Never place something that would have your back facing the entrance when using it, try to keep the entrance in view if possible >Dont clutter your headspace with a low ceiling or with hanging objects because it can compress your energy>don’t have any trash or clutter
>>76676089best analogy i ever heard of feng shui was something like>imagine a dragon got into your house. as it moved around your house/room, how blocked is it and how much damage does it do to the room as it moves aroundthere's a lot of minor details but think of the overall flow of chi in the room, which is the dragon

>>76675414Don't eat too spicy, it's hard on the digestion, which will damage your spleen, which has a direct negative effect on muscles. You can eat spicy sometimes but not all the time. Instead use gently warming foods like stews (also good for spleen). Don't eat too many soups though because the added fluid is again bad for the spleen.Yang foods that are common in the west are lamb, venison, chestnuts, fennel seeds, walnuts and leeks. Chicken and beef are ok. Pork and duck should be avoided because they're more yin.The whole colors and mercury stuff is just superstition.Take care to have you home well-heated and don't wear clothes in which you feel cold. Don't eat raw foods like salads. Don't drink cold beverages.
>>76676820Also don't do internal qigong, but vigorous external qigong.
>>76675439If anything, Anons are much too yin in the first place with all that fapping, asceticism and stoicism shit.
>>76675770Semen retention increases yin, which is why monks do it. Monks prefer to become emotionally stunted and impotent, make it easier to meditate all day.For normal people semen retention is not advised.sxmks
>>76675414make sure each of your internal organs are in balance
