摘要

Gender-specific eating habits reflect the yin-yang principle and have been shown to influence sexual health. National consumption studies from Germany, Austria and Switzerland show that men consume significantly more meat, sausage and alcohol, while women choose fruit, vegetables and dairy products more often. Western cohort data link a sexual frequency of ≥ 2 x/week with a 25% lower cardiovascular risk and better quality of life. The WHO defines sexual health as an integral part of well-being.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) explains these relationships via Jing, Shen and the balance of Yin and Yang. Daoist texts emphasize “moderate union” as the key to maintaining essence. Six common patterns (Yang deficiency/excess, Yin deficiency/excess, Jing depletion and restless Shen) can be regulated through targeted food choices, Five-element cooking methods and selected herbs. Evidence-based nutrients such as vitamin D, zinc and omega‑3 fatty acids as well as a Mediterranean diet complement the dietary strategy.

A sample Five-element menu—artichokes with honey vinaigrette, catfish on beetroot bulgur and strawberry couscous dumplings—illustrates the practical implementation and provides prebiotic fibres, antioxidant polyphenols, omega‑3 fatty acids and qi, blood and yin toning components. The article combines modern studies with classic dietetics and shows how pleasurable, evidence-based eating can boost the libido of both sexes.
