Dr. Liu Feng
When suffering from anemia, improving blood levels can be achieved through both diet and medication. Regarding dietary choices, you can consume more of the following categories:
1. Iron-rich foods: such as animal livers (pork liver, chicken liver, etc.), beef, black-bone chicken, pork blood, lamb blood, etc. These foods are high in iron content and help with hemoglobin synthesis.
2. High-protein foods: such as milk, eggs, chicken meat, beef, etc. Protein serves as a crucial building block for blood formation and helps improve anemia.
3. Foods high in vitamin C: such as spinach, kiwifruit, oranges, etc. Vitamin C promotes iron absorption and enhances the effectiveness of blood nourishment.
4. Other nutrient-rich foods: such as red dates, longan, mulberries, etc. These foods also have certain blood-enriching effects.
If symptoms of anemia are severe, drug treatment under the guidance of a physician is necessary.
