1, Misunderstanding of Women's Health Preservation and Blood Enrichment
One: Eating more meat is not good for your health: Some women mislead the general advertisement that meat is harmful to your health and only pay attention to the health care function of plant food, resulting in too little intake of iron-rich animal food. In fact, animal food is not only rich in iron, but also has an absorption rate as high as 25%. However, the absorption rate of iron in plant food is very low, about 3%, because of the interference of phytate and oxalate contained in food. Therefore, avoiding meat is easy to cause iron deficiency anemia. In daily diet, the intake of fruits, vegetables and meat should be balanced.
Two: Egg milk is more conducive to anemia: milk is nutritious, but the iron content is very low, and the human absorption rate is only 10%. For example, if parents neglect to add complementary food, infants fed with milk often cause iron deficiency anemia. Egg yolk is good for iron supplementation. Although the iron content of egg yolk is high, the iron absorption rate is only 3%, which is not a good iron supplement. Some protein in eggs can inhibit the body from absorbing iron. Therefore, although these two foods that women often eat are rich in nutrition, it is not enough to supplement iron by them alone. Animal liver not only contains high iron content, but also has an absorption rate of over 30%, which is suitable for iron supplementation.
Three: vegetables and fruits are useless for iron supplementation: many people don't know that eating more vegetables and fruits is also good for iron supplementation. This is because vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamin C, citric acid and malic acid, and these organic acids can form complexes with iron, thus increasing the solubility of iron in the intestine and facilitating its absorption.
It doesn't matter if you drink more coffee and tea: for women, drinking too much coffee and tea may lead to iron deficiency anemia. This is because tannic acid in tea and polyphenols in coffee can form insoluble salts with iron and inhibit the absorption of iron. Therefore, women should drink enough coffee and tea, one or two cups a day is enough.
Five: anemia has to stop taking iron: anemia patients take iron according to the doctor's advice, and stop taking it after seeing that the anemia situation has improved or stabilized. This is also a wrong approach. This will lead to the recurrence of anemia. The correct method is to take iron to treat iron deficiency anemia until anemia is stable, and then continue to take iron for 6 ~ 8 weeks to supplement the iron stored in the body.
Six: Brown sugar has a good blood-enriching effect: brown sugar water has always been popular among the people to enrich blood. Women often drink brown sugar water to replenish blood during menstruation and postpartum. But experts pointed out that brown sugar water does not have the magical effect of enriching blood in folklore. Experts say that brown sugar does not have the legendary magical effects of "benefiting qi and nourishing blood", "promoting uterine contraction, discharging postpartum uterine blood stasis and promoting early recovery of uterus". In fact, brown sugar has no effective ingredients for enriching blood, and its purification is not enough. It may also contain impurities.
Of course, supplementing blood doesn't mean only supplementing it. There must be a healthy way. Only by knowing when is the best time can we ensure good health. Let's have a look!
2, the golden age of women's blood
I. Physiological cycle
1, the first day of follicular physiological period 1 ~ 9 days: Reasons for enriching blood: At this time, follicles begin to grow in the ovary, and the ovary secretes hormones to help the endometrium grow. To promote follicular development and maturity, we should give priority to nourishing blood and yin, and at the same time pay attention to tonifying kidney.
Chinese medicine help: Lycium barbarum is a medicine for nourishing yin, which is sweet in taste and flat in nature, and has the effects of nourishing liver and kidney, improving eyesight and moistening lung. It is often regarded as a good medicine for nourishing, recuperating and anti-aging.
2. Day 10 ~ 12 of ovulation physiological period: Reasons for blood supplement: After the follicle matures, the egg is discharged and sent from the ovary to the uterus through the fallopian tube. To promote ovulation, drugs for dredging collaterals, promoting qi circulation and promoting blood circulation should be added on the basis of nourishing essence and blood.
Traditional Chinese Medicine Gang: There is a kind of blind medicine, which has the function of enriching blood comparable to the well-known Siwu Decoction, that is, Danshen. Besides enriching blood, it can also promote blood circulation, regulate menstruation, clear heart and relieve pain, and calm the nerves. 500 grams of jellyfish skin is soaked in salt water in advance for use. Wash and slice Saviae Miltiorrhizae Radix, 15g is enough, then cut some ginger slices and onion segments, put them in a saucepan, add water and heat them with high fire, and then simmer for 20 minutes. At this time, the jellyfish skin is almost soaked, so take it out and cut it into pieces, put it in a pot, and finally add salt, monosodium glutamate, sesame oil and seasoning. If you put some cooking wine in it, it will taste better.
3. The physiological period of luteal phase is from 13 to 2 1 day: Reasons for enriching blood: This is the late stage of ovulation. Without fertilization, the endometrium will stop growing. At this time, yin and yang should complement each other, mainly kidney yang. In order to increase the function of corpus luteum, create a good pregnancy environment and prepare for the implantation of pregnant eggs. Even if you are not pregnant this time, it will lay a material foundation for the next menstruation.
Chinese medicine: Rehmannia glutinosa is sweet, warm and moist, and can enter the liver and kidney meridians, which has the effect of nourishing blood, nourishing yin and replenishing marrow.
4. Day 22-28 of menstrual period: Causes of blood supplement: If the endometrium cannot continue to grow, it will gradually fall off, and blood and damaged mucosa will be discharged from the uterus through the female private parts. At this time, according to the situation, the method of promoting blood circulation and regulating menstruation is adopted to ensure smooth menstruation.
Chinese medicine: Cinnamon is a warming tonic, which can warm the middle warmer, tonify yang, dispel cold and relieve pain, and promote blood circulation. With it, are you still worried about irregular menstruation? Of course not! A nutritious and delicious cinnamon beef can not only relieve appetite, but also drive away dysmenorrhea. The ingredients are very simple, 4 grams of cinnamon and 250 grams of beef. Condiments are ginger, refined salt, yellow wine, monosodium glutamate and onion that are usually used at home. Wash cinnamon, cut into strips with a length of 2cm and a width of 1cm, cut beef into pieces, put it in a pot, add water, and stew with seasoning as usual! In order to make the color more vivid, you can also add a little carrot and medlar.
Second, pregnancy: blood reasons: pregnant women often have iron deficiency anemia, which is mainly because the demand for iron during pregnancy is nearly four times higher than before pregnancy. Long-term insufficient iron intake reduces free iron and iron reserves in pregnant women. When a woman is pregnant in June of 5438+00, not only does she need enough blood to nourish herself, but the fetus also needs to rely on the mother's blood to support her, otherwise it will not only affect herself, but also affect the baby.
Chinese medicine assistant: I believe everyone knows the blood-enriching effect of jujube. It nourishes and protects blood and improves blood circulation. If you eat it regularly, the benefits will be endless. Expectant mothers are afraid of affecting their babies and dare not use drugs indiscriminately. It is right to eat some red dates. It can not only prevent and treat iron deficiency anemia, but also nourish and strengthen the body. Peel off the red skin of peanuts, add water until it is half cooked, then cook a few red dates, take out the red dates, peel and core them, grind them into mud with peanuts and put them into porridge. It seems very troublesome, but in fact, as long as it is synchronized, it is time to cook a pot of porridge. Pregnant women with severe anemia can take some iron edge tablets to improve their blood iron status and cooperate with complementary food to accelerate the increase of hemoglobin content. Special period of pregnancy is in urgent need of blood supplement!
Third, the confinement period: blood reasons: a few new mothers will lose too much blood during childbirth, such as cesarean section and postpartum hemorrhage, which will also cause anemia, while those mothers who had chronic anemia in the past may aggravate anemia after giving birth to their babies.
Chinese medicine help: the mother who just gave birth to a baby is still very weak and needs more care. Ejiao has obvious effects of nourishing blood and enriching blood. Taking a little after delivery can quickly replenish qi and blood, stimulate appetite, and let new mothers recover as soon as possible. Prepare100g of rice, that is, a small bowl, break the donkey-hide gelatin into small pieces with a small hammer, put15g into the bowl, add 250ml of boiling water, stir repeatedly with chopsticks until the donkey-hide gelatin is completely dissolved, then pour into a pot, add 50g of crystal sugar, and cook into porridge. Remember never to add donkey-hide gelatin to porridge, otherwise it will easily paste the bottom of the pot. Ejiao is greasy and sticky, which hinders digestion. If the spleen and stomach are weak, do not think about diet, or do not eat enough, vomiting and diarrhea are prohibited.
Fourth, lactation
Reasons for blood supplement: When the new mother has postpartum anemia, her own nutrition is not supplemented, which will cause insufficient milk secretion and affect the baby's absorption of nutrition. At this time, breastfeeding often leads to malnutrition and decreased resistance, which affects the baby's physical and intellectual development, especially for the baby's health.
Traditional Chinese Medicine Help: Of course, Angelica can't be used as a blood-enriching medicine. Since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it has been regarded as a treasure, which can replenish blood, regulate menstruation, promote blood circulation and relieve pain, beautify and moisturize skin, promote granulation and strengthen body, and prolong life. It has played an extremely important role in protecting women's health. Eggs are always indispensable in a new mother's diet. Cooking with angelica is a good thing for invigorating qi and nourishing blood. After Angelica sinensis is boiled in water to get juice, the boiled eggs are shelled, boiled in Angelica sinensis juice for a while, and then some brown sugar is added. Eat boiled eggs, but drink angelica juice, which is much more nutritious. Pregnant women should never eat like this! Angelica sinensis promotes blood circulation, which is easy to cause uterine contraction and bleeding of female private parts after eating. Menstruation, functional uterine bleeding and postpartum lochia are prohibited.
Summary: A woman's best investment is herself. Be kind to yourself and love yourself at all times. Only when they learn to love themselves can they have the right to be loved. Women should be in good health and look good, and want to recover their looks quickly and take good care of themselves. Try the method prepared by Bian Xiao for you!
3, blood food
(1) sugarcane
Drinking raw sugarcane juice can help digestion. Sugarcane enters the lung and stomach meridian, which has the special effects of clearing away heat, promoting fluid production, reducing qi and moistening dryness, and nourishing the lung. Dry mouth, nausea and vomiting, indigestion and fever can all be drunk.
Drinking sugarcane juice after heating can benefit the spleen and stomach. If sugar cane is baked before eating, it is not only sweeter, but also has excellent throat moistening effect, which is a good diet to protect the throat. In addition, sugarcane is also a kind of oral cleaner. Chewing sugar cane can improve the self-cleaning and caries prevention ability of teeth and exercise facial muscles. It should be noted that people with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold should eat less.
(2) Grapes
A large amount of glucose in grapes has a nutritional effect on myocardium. Because of its high relative contents of calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamins and amino acids, it is a tonic for the elderly, women and people with anemia, and has a good nourishing effect on anemia and fatigue. Pregnant women also recommend eating more, which is not only beneficial to fetal nutrition, but also makes pregnant women rosy and blood vessels unobstructed! If you can't buy grapes sometimes, you might as well eat raisins! Because after grapes are made into raisins, the content of sugar and iron will be higher.
(3) carrots
Carrots contain high levels of vitamins B and C, and also contain a special nutrient-beta carotene, which is very good for blood. The carotene contained in carrot skin, that is, provitamin A, can promote the increase of heme, improve blood concentration and blood quality, and play a great role in treating anemia. Radish also contains a lot of iron, which helps to replenish blood. The iron content of carrot is 40% higher than that of white radish and 75% higher than that of green radish.
(4) Longan meat
Chinese medicine believes that longan meat is sweet and warm, nourishing heart qi and spleen yin. Because longan is rich in iron, it has the effects of invigorating qi and blood, strengthening spleen and nourishing heart, so it is called "the product of the fruit". The longan meat we are talking about is not fresh, but dried longan meat, which is red in color and is usually bought in pharmacies. Its nourishing blood function is also very good.
(5) Pumpkin
Pumpkin is a vegetable that we often eat. Contains a hint of sweetness, which is particularly easy to arouse people's appetite. But also has rich nutritional value. Pumpkin not only contains essential amino acids such as protein, carotene and vitamins, but also contains elements such as cobalt, zinc and iron. You should know that cobalt is one of the important components of red blood cells in blood. Zinc directly affects the function of mature red blood cells; Iron is the basic trace element to produce hemoglobin, which is a good raw material for enriching blood. Chen Xiuyuan, a famous doctor in Qing Dynasty, praised it as "a good blood tonic".
