Common blood-nourishing foods: 1. Animal-based foods: such as animal livers including pig liver and chicken liver, as well as red meats like lean beef, lean pork, and lamb. These foods are rich in iron and protein, which help synthesize hemoglobin and improve anemia. 2. Plant-based foods: vegetables such as spinach, Chinese cabbage, and celery are rich in iron and vitamin C, which aid in the absorption and utilization of iron. 3. Legumes and their products: black beans, soybeans, tofu, and other legume-based products contain abundant plant-based proteins, iron, folic acid, and other nutrients that can promote blood circulation and red blood cell production. 4. Other foods: dried fruits such as red dates, longan, and walnuts, as well as black-colored foods like black fungus, laver, and kelp also have certain blood-nourishing effects.
