If women do not nourish their blood, they will have pale complexions and weak limbs, appearing ten years older than their peers. Don’t believe it? Just look at the pictures.

This photo of Zhao Yazhi visiting a nursing home has sparked much discussion. Can you tell that they are all over 60? The maintenance secrets of celebrities are astonishing.
One reason women age prematurely is due to insufficient blood and qi. When it comes to blood nourishment, most people first think of Ejiao (Donkey-hide Gelatin). However, there are some affordable blood-nourishing foods in daily life that you absolutely cannot miss.
First Place: Black Fungus (Heimuer)
Black fungus is extremely high in iron content, 7.4 times that of pig liver, making it truly the “King of Blood Nourishment.” Not only does it nourish blood, but black fungus is also an essential weight-loss food for women, as it cleanses the intestines, keeps the skin clear, and reduces wrinkles.

Ingredients:
100g black sesame, 80g glutinous rice, 2 tablespoons sugar Cooking Steps:
1. Wash and drain the black sesame and glutinous rice for later use. 
2. In a dry pan, roast the black sesame over low heat (stir frequently to avoid burning). Be careful as the sesame may jump in the pan, so don’t hurt yourself. 
3. Roast the glutinous rice in the dry pan until cooked. 
4. Place the roasted black sesame in a dry grinding cup of a food processor (I have a small food processor, so I grind it in batches). Turn on the switch and count to ten in your mind, then take out the grinding cup and shake it a few times, and grind for another ten seconds (actually, one grind is already very fine, don’t put too much sesame in as it will increase in volume when ground). 
5. Grind the glutinous rice in the same way. 
6. Mix the ground black sesame and glutinous rice flour in a container until well combined. This is the mixed black sesame and glutinous rice flour. 
7. I made a small amount; if you make more, you can store the excess in a sealed bag. When drinking, add sugar and hot water to taste to make a paste, adjusting the thickness according to personal preference. Drizzle some cream or yogurt and use a toothpick to create a romantic heart shape with fresh mint for a delightful presentation.
Recipe Tips:
1. Heat the empty pan to roast the sesame and glutinous rice.
2. Don’t put too much sesame in the grinding cup, as it will expand in volume when ground. The amount of glutinous rice can be adjusted according to personal taste.
3. I personally like to add sugar when eating, but it’s better to adjust according to the different tastes of family members.
Third Place: Dried Mulberries (Sang Shen Gan)
Dried mulberries have the highest iron content among fruits, making them a true “blood-nourishing fruit.” Dried mulberries can enhance blood metabolism, helping you feel younger.

Conclusion
Women often experience blood loss or depletion throughout their lives. If one does not take care to nourish their blood, it can easily lead to anemia, resulting in symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, pale complexion, and insomnia due to blood deficiency.
In addition to dietary blood nourishment, if the condition is severe enough to affect work and life, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. It is also essential to pay attention to maintaining a pleasant mood and avoiding strenuous activities and fatigue.
