Functions and Benefits of Pig's Blood
Disease description:
I am 25 years old this year. Recently, I have often felt dizzy and weak. After visiting the hospital for a checkup, the doctor diagnosed me with anemia and suggested eating foods that help replenish blood, such as pig's blood. May I ask, what are the health benefits and effects of pig's blood?

Dr. Shen Yonghua
Pig blood is rich in iron, especially heme iron, a form of iron that is easily absorbed by the human body. It serves as an ideal food for improving blood deficiency and has a significant effect in preventing and treating iron-deficiency anemia. Pig blood contains various minerals and trace elements such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium, which help enhance immune function and promote overall health. The plasma protein in pig blood can, under the action of gastric acid, produce a substance that detoxifies and cleanses the intestines, aiding in the removal of harmful substances from the body and maintaining intestinal health. In addition, pig blood is also rich in nutrients such as protein and phospholipids, offering positive effects in improving malnutrition and delaying aging.
However, pig blood should not be consumed in excessive amounts. Individuals with certain medical conditions, such as liver disease or hyperuricemia, should consume it with caution. It is also not recommended to eat pig blood together with vegetables high in oxalic acid, as this may interfere with iron absorption. Before consumption, ensure that the pig blood comes from a safe and reliable source and is thoroughly cooked to minimize potential health risks.
