Qi and blood for women is particularly important, it is the guarantee of good health and ruddy complexion. Women, especially women during pregnancy, why did they eat blood tonic food or anemia?
Pregnant mother red dates and red beans blood stasis still anemia
Once pregnant, the word "bu" becomes the most important item in the life of a pregnant mother. However, we found that there are still some pregnant women who will have anemia. They don't understand why they eat some red dates and red beans every three to five to replenish qi and blood, but still anemia?
Experts explained that anemia in pregnancy is a common phenomenon during pregnancy, but the blood enriching effect of red dates and red beans is not as good as that of animal liver, animal whole blood and animal meat. If we put the burden of preventing anemia on red dates and red beans, it is easy to see problems. Generally speaking, whether it is red beans, red dates, or peanuts, its purpose is to prevent iron deficiency anemia through iron supplementation. However, there are two kinds of iron, namely heme iron and non heme iron. The former mainly comes from animal liver, animal whole blood, animal meat, etc., with the absorption rate of about 20%; the latter mainly comes from plant food or dairy products such as red beans and jujube, but the absorption rate is only 3% - 5%. In addition, animal liver is also an important source of folic acid, which can prevent megaloblastic anemia caused by folic acid and vitamin B12 deficiency.
Therefore, pregnant mothers should ensure the intake of iron rich food such as animal liver every day, and avoid eating spinach and other foods with high oxalic acid at the same time, so as to prevent the reduction of iron absorption rate. However, pregnant mothers can eat some food rich in vitamin C, such as various oranges.
