POWER UP YOUR ENERGY, WILLPOWER AND MORE LIKE THIS 👇⁠ ⁠ In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) ‘Jing’ gives us energy, willpower, enthusiasm, sexual vigor and long-term vitality. These deep reserves of energy are stored in the kidneys – where our adrenal glands are situated – and your jing (or lack of it) influences your whole hormonal system.⁠ ⁠ When our bodies are taxed by stress and anxiety, inflammation, toxic relationships, illnesses, bad diet and poor sleep, our jing gets depleted.⁠ ⁠ Signs your jing needs a boost:⁠ 🔹Burn out / fatigue⁠ 🔹Low libido & / or infertility⁠ 🔹Premature ageing⁠ 🔹Weakness⁠ 🔹Depression⁠ ⁠⁠ The following black, dark-blue, and purple foods are all densely packed with powerful antioxidants that directly nourish and protect kidney cells against free radical damage.⁠ ⁠ ♣️Black grapes⁠ ♣️Blackberries⁠ ♣️Black currants⁠ ♣️Black seed (nigella seeds)⁠ ♣️Black sesame seeds⁠ ♣️Black beans⁠ ♣️Black rice⁠ ♣️Seaweeds⁠ ♣️Aged black garlic⁠ ♣️Black lentils⁠ ⁠ As well as the high levels of antioxidants, these foods can help support healthy blood sugar balance thanks to their fibre, protein and micronutrients to protect against diabetes, a significant risk factor for kidney damage. ⁠ ⁠ Special mention: Black seed is particularly therapeutic; in a study last year, participants with kidney stones ate 1g (1/3 tsp) daily. 44% of the group excreted their stones completely and 52% showed significant decrease in size of stones, compared with only 15% and 11.5% respectively in the placebo group (Phytotherapy Research, 2019).⁠ ⁠ Other helpers:⁠ 🔸Adaptogens are powerful for repleting jing too because they support the adrenal glands in the face of stress!
