Can eating pig's blood help replenish blood?
I often see online claims that eating pig's blood can replenish blood. Is this claim correct?

Consuming pig's blood in moderation can help improve or prevent iron-deficiency anemia to some extent. The iron in pig's blood exists in the form of heme iron. Appropriate intake of pig's blood can help increase iron levels in the blood, thereby promoting blood production and blood replenishment to some extent, and playing a positive role in preventing and treating iron-deficiency anemia.
Excessive consumption of pig's blood may lead to an overload of iron in the body, which can place a burden on the body, especially for individuals who do not suffer from iron-deficiency anemia. It is important to note that blood replenishment is not simply a matter of "eating blood to replenish blood," but rather involves balanced intake of various nutrients and the overall health status of the body. Blood replenishment does not solely rely on iron intake; nutrients such as vitamin C, folic acid, and vitamin B12 also contribute to improving blood health.
Therefore, when aiming to achieve the effect of blood replenishment, in addition to moderately consuming iron-rich foods such as pig's blood, one should also pay attention to dietary diversity and balance, as well as maintain good living habits and regular作息 (作息规律 translates to "regular作息" but should be replaced with a suitable English equivalent, such as "regular作息" → "regular sleep patterns" or "consistent rest schedules"). Furthermore, pig's blood consumption should be appropriately adjusted according to individual health conditions, and professional medical or nutritional advice should be sought when necessary.
