Women who do not nourish their blood,
will have pale complexions, weak limbs, and feel ten years older instantly!
However, the “blood-nourishing holy product” Ejiao (Donkey-hide Gelatin) does not actually have a blood-nourishing effect,
the true “king of blood nourishment” is actually this!
Rank 10: Pig Liver
The delicious pig liver is a great blood-nourishing food, containing 25 mg of iron per 100 grams, which is easily absorbed by our bodies. Eating it once a week can improve a sallow complexion and enhance your appearance!
Pig liver combined with spinach is the best remedy for anemia, as spinach is rich in carotene and vitamins, which can promote the absorption of iron in the body.
Pig liver contains a small amount of toxins and is high in cholesterol, so it should be consumed in moderation. People with hypertension, coronary heart disease, and obesity should avoid it.
Rank 9: Black Beans
The skin of black beans is a treasure! It can reduce the loss of iron in the body. Regular consumption of black beans can also supplement estrogen, slowing down aging.
After soaking and cooking, black beans can be made into black bean milk, which is even more fragrant and delicious than soybean milk. Be sure not to remove the precious black bean skin for better taste!
Black beans are high in protein, but those with severe stomach issues should eat them sparingly to avoid burdening the stomach.
Rank 8: Dried Purple Grapes
Dried purple grapes are made from sun-dried purple grapes, containing four times the iron of spinach. Early autumn is the season for grapes, so friends might consider making some dried purple grapes, which are easy to store and great for nourishing blood and beautifying the skin.
Dried grapes can be eaten directly or soaked in water for drinking. They can also be a great snack at work!
We all know how sweet raisins are. Friends with diabetes or those on a diet should not indulge!
Rank 7: Pumpkin
Pumpkin has long been known as a “wonderful blood-nourishing food,” rich in iron, cobalt, and zinc, which are excellent materials for blood nourishment. Pumpkin is very nutritious and can also help with digestion and detoxification.
Pumpkin can be cooked and mashed into porridge, or made into pumpkin cakes and desserts, offering various ways to enjoy it.
Most people can eat pumpkin, especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly individuals and those with diabetes.
Rank 6: Carrots
Carrots are often compared to “little ginseng.” They are high in vitamins B, C, and carotene, which can accelerate blood cell formation, and they also have benefits for the eyes and skin, making them ideal for women who spend a lot of time in front of computers.
Eating raw carrots is not very beneficial! After washing, they can be boiled with ribs or corn to make soup, or stir-fried for a nourishing effect.
Carrots are generally suitable for most people. However, friends who enjoy drinking should avoid using carrots as a side dish, as it can harm the liver.
Rank 5: Tremella (Silver Fungus)
Tremella is not only a beauty food but also nourishes the blood! It contains more iron than pig liver, and regular consumption can nourish yin and blood, as well as detoxify, leading to health and beauty!
Tremella can be made into various desserts, and when cooked with red dates, it can better exert its blood-nourishing effects!
Tremella can hinder platelet aggregation, so it is not suitable for patients with internal bleeding or women during menstruation.
Rank 4: Longan (Dragon Eye)
Longan is both a fruit and a medicine, and it contains a good amount of iron. Regular consumption of longan can not only improve skin tone but also enhance body fullness (it is said to have breast-enhancing effects!).
Longan can be eaten raw after peeling, or added to porridge or soup.
Longan is high in sugar, so it should not be consumed by diabetics. Eating too much longan can easily lead to internal heat, so friends who often experience heat and acne should eat less.
Rank 3: Dried Mulberries
Dried mulberries have the highest iron content among fruits, truly deserving the title of “blood-nourishing fruit.” They can enhance blood metabolism, making you feel younger.
Dried mulberries can be eaten directly after washing, or used to soak in water or wine for drinking.
Dried mulberries are also high in sugar, so they should not be consumed by diabetics. Additionally, they are not suitable for young children.
Rank 2: Black Sesame
Black sesame contains twice the iron of pig liver. Eating more black sesame can nourish the blood and detoxify, leading to beautiful skin and shiny black hair, making you look younger!
Black sesame can be eaten dry after roasting, or ground into sesame paste, which is rich and delicious.
Sesame is high in oil, so those with hypertension should consume it in moderation. Sesame also has strong intestinal lubrication properties, so those with diarrhea should avoid it temporarily.
Rank 1: Black Fungus (Wood Ear)
Black fungus contains an extremely high amount of iron, 7.4 times that of pig liver. Undoubtedly the “king of blood nourishment,” black fungus is also a great food for weight loss for women, as it not only cleanses the intestines but also keeps the skin smooth and reduces wrinkles.
How to Eat
Combine with ingredients high in vitamin C, such as green peppers,
to help the body better absorb iron
and achieve blood-nourishing effects.
Who Should Avoid Eating
Black fungus is relatively hard to digest, so those with weak digestive abilities should not eat too much.
So, everyone, stop spending a lot of money on supplements,
and eat more of these foods to save money and effort!
Nourishing your blood will make you more beautiful!
