A man's depleted yang energy and its embarrassing signs are actually the body quietly sending out signals for help.

1. Frequent flatulence: Insufficient yang energy affects the spleen and stomach's ability to transform and transport, causing food to be poorly digested, fermenting in the intestines, and increasing gas.
2. Poor sleep: Restless nights, difficulty falling asleep, or waking easily, having vivid dreams, and frequent nighttime urination are typical signs of mental and spiritual deficiency.
3. Urine like dark tea: The first urine in the morning is persistently dark yellow like strong tea, which is often a sign of yang deficiency and insufficient kidney energy.
4. Bad breath and bitter taste: Stagnation of stomach qi and rising turbid qi lead to dry mouth, bitter taste, and noticeable bad breath in the morning, also external signs of yang deficiency.
5. Yellow face and eyes: Yang deficiency affects metabolism, causing the sclera to turn yellow, eyes to be dry and dull, and in severe cases, the entire face or body may turn yellow.
6. Unstable emotions: Getting angry over small matters easily, inability to stay calm, indicates kidney qi deficiency and a significant decline in heart qi, leading to poor self-control.
7. Acne and pimples: Yang deficiency causes the kidneys to be unable to properly metabolize toxins, resulting in recurring pimples and acne on the face.
8. Frequent and urgent urination: Decline in kidney qi’s ability to contain and control causes issues with urination and defecation, leading to frequent and urgent urination.
These seemingly trivial “embarrassing signs” are actually traces of yang energy being gradually depleted. Don’t wait until your body collapses to start remedying it—eat well, sleep properly, and stabilize your emotions. These are the fundamental ways to preserve yang energy.
