How to treat anemia and insufficient blood?

In daily life, the body's qi and blood are relatively critical parts. Sufficient qi and blood will make the whole person radiant and will also enhance the body's immunity. Anemia or insufficient qi and blood will easily cause some physical diseases and cause symptoms such as fatigue. There are many ways to regulate anemia and insufficient qi and blood. You can regulate it through food and eat more nourishing foods.

How to treat anemia and insufficient blood?

1. Lifestyle adjustments: Keep a good mood to keep the Qi and blood flowing smoothly, and the symptoms of anemia will improve; avoid strenuous activities, which will help improve the anemia condition. Changes in body position (such as changing from lying to standing) should be done slowly to avoid fainting due to acute cerebral ischemia.

2. Dietary adjustment: Eat more green vegetables and foods high in iron, such as egg yolks, beef, liver, kidney, kelp, beans, etc. Don't drink tea, because the tannic acid in tea can hinder the absorption of iron.

People with gastric acid deficiency, such as those with atrophic gastritis and after gastrectomy, can take some dilute hydrochloric acid orally. Because hydrochloric acid can liberate the iron in food, it increases the permeability of iron salts, thus facilitating absorption.

People with anemia should eat more vitamin C. Because most of the iron in food is trivalent ferrous iron, which is not easily absorbed by the human body, vitamin C can reduce it into inorganic ferrous iron (divalent iron), which is easily absorbed by the human body.
