Who is suitable for consuming Ejiao cake?
Disease description:
I am 35 years old this year. Recently, I have been feeling very fatigued. After visiting the hospital for a checkup, my doctor told me that I have mild anemia and advised me to eat more foods that help replenish blood. A friend mentioned that Ejiao cake is an excellent food for improving blood levels. However, I've heard that Ejiao cake isn't suitable for everyone. I would like to ask, who is Ejiao cake appropriate for?

Ejiao cake is suitable for consumption by various population groups, mainly including:
1. **Anemic patients**: Ejiao cake has the effect of nourishing and enriching the blood, making it suitable for individuals with anemia, especially those with iron-deficiency anemia or hemorrhagic anemia. It can help alleviate symptoms caused by anemia, such as pallor, dizziness, and fatigue.
2. **Pregnant women**: The blood-nourishing and fetus-stabilizing properties of Ejiao cake are beneficial for pregnant women. Moderate consumption supports maternal health and fetal development.
3. **Individuals with low immunity**: Ejiao cake is rich in nutrients such as proteins and amino acids, which can enhance the body's immunity and strengthen disease resistance.
4. **Elderly individuals**: The collagen and calcium content in Ejiao cake help strengthen the body, prevent osteoporosis, and improve sleep quality in the elderly.
5. **Other specific groups**: Ejiao cake can also play a regulatory role in conditions such as menstrual irregularities and menopausal syndrome in women.
