Foods that Create Qi Energy
Many foods are vital to our life since they contain lots of Qi energy. On the other hand, there are foods that also deplete our energy. Here is a list of foods that help bring Qi energy into our body, which will assist us in creating and maintaining youthful vigor with energy over a lifetime.
Greens
Greens are vital to the flow of Qi energy in the body. For example, eating a nice green salad and then waiting five minutes will help us feel invigorated with energy to burn. When we eat heavy, cooked foods, we feel heavy and lack vitality, which means we lack Qi energy.
Other Veggies
Other raw veggies and slightly steamed veggies also contain Qi energy. For instance, red bell peppers, yellow squash, butternut squash, onions, tomatoes, broccoli, carrots, cabbage, and other veggies all have essential vital energy.
Fresh Fruit
Fresh fruits are packed full of lots of Qi energy. Even fruit juices are wonderful for attaining Qi energy. In fact, fresh fruit juices are much better than soda and sugary drinks, which have no Qi energy at all. Try food, such as apples, peaches, lychee, berries, fresh dates, fresh figs, mangoes, papaya, and many more fresh fruits, that build Qi.
Raw Nuts
Raw nuts have all their vital energy stored within them. They are the seed that could be planted in the ground and thus has the energy of the tree waiting to burst forth. Foods, such as raw almonds, coconut, walnuts and all other nuts, are terrific Qi energy cultivators.
Seeds
Raw sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, lotus seeds, pumpkin seeds, and many other types of seeds are full of Qi energy and help to bring about the bounty of great Qi energy to the body.
Beans
Beans are not usually consumed raw, but some can be sprouted. Then, those sprouts can be eaten raw. Also, beans are one of the few cooked foods that also provide Qi energy. Consuming beans daily are very good for improving Qi energy. Beans are best if they are organic and cooked daily, or at least cooked once a week and eaten during the week. Beans are also a balancing agent for Qi in the body and assist in keeping everything in harmony.
Seaweed
Fresh seaweed, the type used in seaweed salads, are packed full of Qi energy. In the west, we tend to ignore seaweed as being a vital food in general, but this wonderful red, green, and black veggie from the sea is packed full of vital Qi energy.
Soy
Some individuals believe that soy is not good for us. In general, unsweetened soy milk, tofu, and other soy products contain a good amount of Qi energy. It’s unfortunate that many people in the west don’t have the natural enzymes to break it down and are unable to benefit from its Qi energy. Personally speaking, I love all soy products and feel great when I eat them. For other people, it can actually rob them of Qi energy. We are all different, so try it and see.
Teas
Green tea, herbal teas, black teas, and some other types of natural beverages also bring Qi energy into the body.
Natural Water
Water obtained from a running stream, fresh fallen rain, and from upwelling natural springs that are not bottled are amazingly full of vital Qi energy. In fact, I know a man who has a natural artesian well on his property, and he swears that he started to feel much better after he started drinking only the water from that well. He now goes out daily to bring water to the house for drinking.
Qi Energy Robbers
Remember to stay away from processed foods, fast food, lots of cooked food and especially overly cooked food, very cold food and very hot food, all chemicals, chemical sweeteners, chemical preservatives and colors, and GMO foods as well as foods that contain pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Also, refrain from consuming too much wheat, sugar, extra oils and fats, and some other grains that tend to pull us down and make us drag. All of these negate Qi energy in our body. Consequently, our energy begins to drag and we feel down, become depressed, gain weight, and our minds are filled with sadness.
Always Listen
It’s important that we listen to our bodies since we are all different and have different needs. What one person needs may be totally different from what someone else needs. When we eat something, it’s important to wait 15 to 30 minutes and see how we feel. If we feel up and full of energy, then that particular food is bringing us vital Qi energy. If we are dragging, then that particular food is pulling vital Qi energy from our body. In this day and age, we have forgotten how to listen to the intelligence of our own body, which is vitally important. Our bodies know much more than we give them credit for.
