Anemia, simply put, is a condition where the red blood cell count in the blood decreases, leading to symptoms such as paleness, dizziness, fatigue, and insomnia. To effectively replenish blood, anemia patients can adjust their diet to intake sufficient nutrients and consider using Chinese medicinal materials for blood supplementation, such as gelatin.
1. Dietary supplementation: Animal organs like pig liver, chicken liver, duck liver, as well as red meats like beef, lamb, and pork are rich in iron and protein, aiding in replenishing hematopoietic materials and improving anemia. Vegetables such as spinach, carrots, pumpkin, as well as black fungus, kelp, and seaweed, rich in iron and folic acid, also help in promoting red blood cell production.
2. Chinese medicinal materials from the same source as food: Gelatin, known as the holy medicine for blood supplementation, can be used both as a medicinal material and ingredient, showing outstanding effects in blood supplementation. According to the “Shennong Ben Cao Jing,” gelatin, when taken for a long time, enhances vitality and energy. Gelatin has a mild nature, sweet taste, and is beneficial for nourishing blood, moistening dryness, and stopping bleeding. Gelatin blocks commonly used like Dong’e Gelatin can nourish blood, improve symptoms caused by blood deficiency like pale complexion, fatigue, and insomnia. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that gelatin can enhance hematopoietic function, increase red blood cells, hemoglobin, and serum iron levels, improve tissue and organ oxygen supply, suitable for various types of anemia including iron deficiency anemia and nutritional anemia.
Moreover, anemia patients should pay attention to a balanced diet, combining different food groups for comprehensive nutrition. Patients should also undergo medication treatment under the guidance of a doctor, choosing iron supplements for iron deficiency anemia and folic acid, vitamin B12 supplements for megaloblastic anemia to improve the condition of anemia.
