What is blood deficiency?

Blood deficiency refers to anemia in traditional Chinese medicine. Anemia refers to a common clinical symptom that the volume of human peripheral red blood cells drops below the lower limit of the normal range. Because the measurement of red blood cell volume is complicated, it is often replaced by hemoglobin (Hb) concentration in clinic.

Anemia is a disease that spreads people, especially those with weak constitution. It is usually necessary to supplement blood with blood-enriching food. Foods that are good for blood:

1, pumpkin: a good blood tonic. Pumpkin praised by Chen Xiuyuan, a famous doctor in Qing Dynasty, is rich in protein, carotene, vitamins, essential amino acids, calcium, zinc, iron, cobalt and phosphorus.

Among them, cobalt is one of the important components of vitamin B 12, which can help the normal operation of red blood cells in the blood. Zinc can directly affect the function of mature red blood cells; Iron is the basic trace element for producing hemoglobin, and they are all excellent nutrients for enriching blood.

2, grapes: recommended by Chinese medicine in the past. Grape is rich in calcium, phosphorus and iron, as well as a variety of vitamins and amino acids. It is a good tonic for the elderly, women, the weak and the tired. Pregnant women also recommend eating more, which is not only beneficial to fetal nutrition, but also makes pregnant women rosy and blood vessels unobstructed! If you can't buy grapes sometimes, you can eat raisins!

3, sugar cane: blood fruit. In winter fruits, sugarcane, which is popular among people, also contains a lot of trace elements, including iron, zinc, calcium, phosphorus and manganese. Among them, the content of iron is the highest, which can be as high as 9 mg per kilogram, ranking first among fruits, so it is called blood-nourishing fruit. However, from the perspective of Chinese medicine, people with cold sugarcane and spleen and stomach deficiency should eat less.

Extended data:

It should be noted that people with severe anemia should not be exposed to five foods:

1, don't eat too much fat: if you eat too much fat, it will inhibit the hematopoietic function of the human body, and too much fat will affect the digestion and absorption of anemia patients. Therefore, women should not consume more than 70 grams of fat every day, preferably about 50 grams, and try to eat vegetable oil.

2, can not eat garlic: garlic contains more volatile substances. Eating too much will inhibit gastric juice secretion, reduce hemoglobin and red blood cells, and aggravate anemia.

3, can not drink coffee: polyphenols in coffee will form insoluble salts with iron, thus inhibiting the absorption of iron. Not suitable for anemia patients. If you want to drink, try to change your coffee to orange juice.

4, try not to drink tea: tea will inhibit the absorption of iron, this is because tannic acid and iron in tea form insoluble iron tannic acid in the digestive tract. This substance can not be absorbed by intestinal mucosal epithelial cells, which hinders the absorption of iron, and iron deficiency in human body will reduce the synthesis of hemoglobin in the body and aggravate anemia symptoms.

5, can not drink milk: because milk has a low iron content, but high calcium and phosphorus content, iron in the body is easy to combine with calcium and phosphorus in milk to form insoluble iron-containing compounds, which will cause iron deficiency in the body.
