There are many foods that help replenish blood, as they are rich in iron, vitamins, and various trace elements, which aid in promoting blood production and circulation. These foods include: 1. Animal-based foods: such as animal liver, red meats (e.g., lean beef, lean pork, which are rich in hemoglobin), and animal blood (e.g., pig blood, duck blood), which are not only high in iron content but also easily absorbed and utilized by the human body. 2. Plant-based foods: such as spinach, purple raisins, dried mulberries, and black soybeans, which also have blood-nourishing effects. 3. Fruits: such as cherries, red dates (jujubes), and longan, which are not only rich in iron but also contain abundant vitamins and minerals that help nourish the blood and calm the mind. 4. Other foods such as brown sugar, carrots, and wolfberry (Lycium barbarum) also have certain blood-nourishing benefits. It's important to note that although blood-nourishing foods are beneficial, they should be consumed in appropriate amounts according to individual constitution and health conditions, and a balanced diet should be maintained. If you have health issues such as anemia, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
