What foods are good for replenishing blood and calcium?

Some people always have pale complexion, which is most likely due to anemia. People with anemia are weaker and more prone to illness and nosebleeds. If there is a lack of calcium, adults will often suffer from cramps, children will grow slowly, and the elderly will suffer from osteoporosis. Therefore, everyone should actively supplement calcium. There are many foods that can replenish blood and calcium. Now I will introduce to you what foods can replenish calcium and blood.

Calcium-rich foods include milk and dairy products, beans, dried shrimps, kelp, nuts, etc.

(1) Milk and dairy products are the best sources of calcium. Milk is not only rich in calcium but also has a high absorption rate, making it a good source of calcium. The first food that is high in calcium and well absorbed is milk.

(2) Egg yolks and fish and shellfish are high in calcium. Loaches, clams, snails, and shrimp skins are also high in calcium.

(3) Plant-based foods include soy products and nuts (such as peanut kernels and walnut kernels).

(4) Seafood such as dried shrimp, kelp, seaweed, fish floss and meat floss made from bone-in fish floss,

(5) Vegetables such as daylily, radish, shiitake mushrooms, and black fungus are all high in calcium.

(6) Animal bones, such as pork bones and chicken bones, have high calcium content but are difficult to dissolve in water. Therefore, people usually feed their babies bone soup. In fact, this does not provide much calcium, unless you add some vinegar when boiling the bone soup, which can make a small amount of calcium in the bones dissolve into the bone soup, thus having some calcium supplement effect.

(7) The calcium content in common grains such as rice, noodles, and corn is relatively low. Some foods, such as plant-based foods and cereal foods, contain excessive phytic acid and oxalic acid, which can cause the calcium in the food to precipitate and reduce calcium absorption. For example, spinach contains too much oxalic acid, and cooking spinach with tofu will prevent the calcium in the tofu from being absorbed.

The calcium content in grains, livestock and poultry meat and fruits is relatively low. The absorption rate of calcium in food is relatively low in the body. For example, milk, which is the easiest to digest and absorb, has an absorption rate of only 50%. The absorption rate of other calcium-containing foods is even lower.

From this it can be seen that in areas where rice, flour, meat and vegetables are the main foods according to our country's eating habits, calcium deficiency will be a major problem. The solution is to change eating habits and significantly increase the intake of milk and beans so that the amount of calcium in food can meet the body's needs. For babies, they should supplement with milk and eggs every day so that they can get more high-quality protein and their calcium intake can be basically met.

To replenish blood, of course you should eat more red foods, such as red beans, red dates, pork liver, etc. You can drink a cup of water brewed with red dates every day. Not only is it very convenient, but drinking more water is also good for the body. To supplement calcium, you can eat more dried shrimps. Dried shrimps are delicious and can be cooked in many ways, such as scrambled eggs with dried shrimps, making dried shrimp soup, etc.
