*Beef- Beef is known for its ability to tonify qi, blood, and yin. Sources indicate that beef may help dispel inflammation, alleviate edema, and strengthen bones and tendons. Apart from the fact that beef tonifies qi and blood, it also strengthens the stomach and lean beef can help to dispel dampness.
*Potatoes- Potato is known for its ability to tonify qi and yin. It also helps to clear heat and lubricate the intestines.
*Green beans- String beans, commonly referred to as green beans, are known for their ability to tonify yin. They are known to descend the qi, especially in the spleen and stomach. They also help to tonify the kidneys.
*Carrots- Carrot is known for its ability to tonify qi. It also helps to clear heat, resolve dampness, benefit the eyes, lubricate the intestines, promote digestion, and eliminate toxins.
*Corn- Corn, also known as maize, is known for its ability to tonify qi, clear heat, stop bleeding, promote urination, and resolve water accumulations. It may also help to lower blood pressure.
