1, food for improving anemia
1, foods rich in iron:
Chicken liver, pig liver, kidney of cattle and sheep, lean meat, egg yolk, kelp, black sesame, sesame paste, black fungus, soybeans, mushrooms, brown sugar, rape, celery, etc.
2. Foods rich in vitamin C:
Fresh fruits and green vegetables, such as jujube, apricot, orange, hawthorn, tomato, bitter gourd, green bell pepper, lettuce, green bamboo shoots, etc. Vitamin C has the functions of participating in hematopoiesis and promoting iron absorption and utilization.
3. Foods rich in copper:
The physiological function of copper is to participate in hematopoiesis. Copper deficiency can also lead to iron absorption disorder and reduce hemoglobin synthesis.
4. Foods rich in high-quality protein:
Such as eggs, milk, fish, lean meat, shrimp and beans.
2. Dietary taboos of anemia patients
1, avoid alkaline food
If the human body is in alkaline environment, it is not conducive to the reduction, absorption and utilization of iron; Lack of stomach acid can also affect the free and transformation of iron in food. Therefore, anemia patients should try to eat less alkaline foods, such as steamed bread and sorghum noodles.
2. Avoid drinking tea and coffee.
Patients with iron deficiency anemia should not drink tea when taking iron supplements or other blood-enriching drugs. Because there is a substance in tea called tannic acid, it can combine with iron agent to form insoluble iron tannic acid, which hinders the absorption of iron by human body. Similarly, coffee has become a taboo for iron deficiency anemia because it contains tannic acid.
3, avoid garlic
Garlic contains a lot of volatile substances. According to research, garlic itself is irritating. Eating more garlic will inhibit the secretion of gastric juice and affect the digestion and absorption of food. It will also reduce the number of hemoglobin and red blood cells and aggravate anemia. Therefore, patients with iron deficiency anemia should not eat garlic.
4. Iron-containing foods should not be eaten with milk.
If iron-containing foods are taken with milk and some drugs that neutralize stomach acid, it will hinder the absorption of iron. Therefore, when eating iron-containing foods to replenish blood, try not to drink milk or take drugs that neutralize stomach acid.
5, jujube blood should not be eaten for a long time.
Although jujube is a good blood tonic, it should not be taken for a long time, otherwise the stomach will easily flatulence and the body will become fat. It's enough to eat two or three times a week, so you don't have to worry about losing weight after replenishing blood.
Step 6 limit fat
Moderate fat intake can provide calories for the body; However, eating too much fat will inhibit the hematopoietic function of human body and affect the digestion and absorption function of anemia patients. Therefore, the daily fat supply should not exceed 70 grams, generally about 50 grams is appropriate. And try to choose vegetable oil containing unsaturated fatty acids.
3. Symptoms of iron deficiency anemia
1. General manifestations: fatigue and fatigue are the most common symptoms of anemia, and some patients may have low fever when anemia is severe.
2. Cardiovascular system: palpitation and shortness of breath are the most common after exercise, and some patients with severe anemia may also have angina pectoris and heart failure. There may be mild irritability, swelling of lower limbs and ECG changes during the examination.
3. Nervous system: headache, dizziness, dizziness, tinnitus, inattention, insomnia or syncope. Severe anemia can lead to symptoms such as mental confusion or dementia. Anemia caused by vitamin B 12 deficiency is often accompanied by limb grinding and sensory disturbance.
4. Digestive system: anorexia, abdominal distension and nausea are more common, and patients with hemolytic anemia may have jaundice and splenomegaly.
5. Urogenital system: The concentrated function of kidney decreases, patients often have more urine, the proportion of urine decreases, and the desire decreases. Female patients often have irregular menstruation, excessive menstruation or decrease.
