Xin Xin Ma [Prophet] anemia refers to too few red blood cells and insufficient hemoglobin in the blood. Anemia is divided into several different situations, one of which is iron deficiency anemia. The so-called iron deficiency anemia is that the iron content in red blood cells is too small, which is also the most common kind of anemia. To prevent iron deficiency anemia, we should first pay attention to diet and eat iron-rich foods in a balanced way, such as red meat, liver, egg yolk and grains. If the intake of iron in the diet is insufficient or iron deficiency is serious, iron must be supplemented. Vitamin C can help iron absorption and heme production, so the intake of vitamin C should be sufficient. It should be noted that milk and some drugs that neutralize gastric acid will hinder the absorption of iron, so try not to eat it with iron-containing foods. As long as women are more prone to iron deficiency anemia, this is because women will lose blood regularly every month during the physiological period. So on average, about 20% of women and 50% of pregnant women will have anemia. If anemia is not very serious, you can change the symptoms of anemia without taking various supplements, as long as you adjust your diet. For example, first of all, we should pay attention to the diet and take a balanced intake of iron-rich foods such as liver, egg yolk and cereals. If the intake of iron in the diet is insufficient or iron deficiency is serious, iron should be supplemented immediately. Vitamin C can help iron absorption and heme production, so the intake of vitamin C should be sufficient. Secondly, eat more fresh vegetables. Many vegetables are rich in iron. Such as auricularia auricula, laver, Nostoc flagelliforme, shepherd's purse, black sesame, lotus root starch, etc. Recommend several home-made blood-enriching foods: Black beans: In ancient times, China always thought that eating beans was good for health. Most books will introduce that black beans can make people's hair black, but in fact, black beans can also produce blood. How to eat black beans depends on everyone's preference. If it is postpartum, it is recommended to cook black-bone chicken with black beans. Nostoc flagelliforme: Nostoc flagelliforme is dark and unsightly, but it contains high iron. Cooking soup with Nostoc flagelliforme can replenish blood. Carrots: Carrots contain high levels of vitamins B and C, and at the same time contain a special nutrient-carotene, which is extremely beneficial to blood. Cooking soup with carrots is a good soup for enriching blood. But many people don't like carrots. My personal practice is to juice carrots and add honey as a drink. Gluten: This is a folk food. There are vegetarian restaurants and pot-stewed stalls in general, and the iron content of gluten is also quite rich. And blood must be supplemented with iron first. Spinach: This is the most common vegetable. It is also a famous blood-enriching food. Spinach is rich in iron carotene, so spinach can be regarded as an important food in blood-enriching vegetables. If you don't like carrots, eat more vegetables. Day lily: Day lily has the largest iron content, which is 20 times higher than the familiar spinach. It is rich in iron, vitamins A, B 1, C, protein, fat, colchicine and other nutrients. Longan meat: Longan meat is longan meat, which is sold in any supermarket. Longan meat is rich in iron and also contains vitamins A and B, glucose and sucrose. Tonifying blood can also treat amnesia, palpitation, neurasthenia and insomnia. Longan soup, longan gum and longan wine are also good blood-enriching foods. Dried radish: Dried radish is a kind of beneficial vegetable, which is extremely rich in vitamin B and high in iron. Therefore, it is the most humble, cheapest and best health food, and its iron content exceeds all foods except day lily. It should be noted that people with anemia had better not drink tea, and drinking more tea will only aggravate the symptoms of anemia. Because the iron in food enters the digestive tract in the form of trivalent colloidal iron hydroxide. Under the action of gastric juice, high-priced iron can be absorbed only after it is converted into low-priced iron. However, tea contains tannic acid, which easily forms insoluble iron tannic acid after drinking, thus hindering the absorption of iron. Secondly, milk and some drugs that neutralize stomach acid will hinder the absorption of iron, so try not to eat with iron-containing foods.
