Platelets are very important in the human body. They can repair damaged blood vessels and stop bleeding from wounds. If the platelet count is low but the condition is relatively mild, it can be adjusted through diet, and the effect is very good.

At this time, choose red dates and peanuts (with skins) as wonderful medicinal foods to prepare medicinal meals and dishes, or chew them in appropriate amounts every day. Figs and raisins can also be eaten frequently.
