Yin Deficiency
The lung is one of the organs responsible for regulating water metabolism, and as a result yin deficient people need to be extra careful. Yin deficiency means you have inadequate body fluids and are vulnerable to dryness and insomnia as a result.
Make sure you have enough moisture in your environments. You also need to breathe deeply throughout your day and drink a glass of light salt water every morning. (One pinch of salt in 8 oz. of warm water.)
You should also eat more: fruit, sweet potatoes, seafood like scallops, and cooked lotus root. All of these foods strengthen the spleen and stomach and help build blood and muscle.
Yin Deficiency and Aging
Yin deficiency can accelerate your aging process, including wearing out the organs, which results in graying, hair loss, flabby skin, and memory and hearing loss.
Try the anti-aging remedy below which reduces yin deficiency. Other helpful anti-aging foods good for yin deficiency people are honey, oranges, eggs, black wheat, broccoli, oats, and peanuts.
