What to Do for Female Anemia
Severe anemia can lead to premature aging symptoms such as wrinkles, gray hair, tooth loss, and unsteady gait. Only when the blood is sufficient can the skin be rosy and the complexion be radiant. If women want to pursue a beautiful face and a slender figure, they must pay attention to nourishing the blood. Here are a few aspects to consider:
1. Nourishing the Mind: Maintaining a happy mood and a cheerful personality not only enhances the body's immune system but also promotes the vigorous function of bone marrow hematopoiesis, resulting in rosy skin and a radiant complexion. Therefore, it is important to maintain an optimistic attitude frequently.
2. Nourishing Sleep：Ensure sufficient sleep, energy, and physical strength, and maintain a regular daily routine, a moderate amount of entertainment, and a balance between work and rest. Learn to live a scientifically healthy lifestyle, avoid staying up late, avoid eating unbalanced diets and snacks, quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption, and avoid having intercourse during special physiological stages such as menstruation or puerperium.
3. Nourishing Movement: Regular participation in physical exercises, especially for women who have given birth, is essential. Engage in physical exercises and outdoor activities within one's capabilities for at least half an hour every day. Activities such as aerobics, running, walking, playing sports, swimming, and dancing can enhance physical strength and hematopoietic function.
4. Nourishing Diet: Women should eat more nutrient-rich foods that contain "hematopoietic raw materials," such as high-quality proteins, essential trace elements (iron, copper, etc.), folate, and vitamin B12. Examples include animal liver, kidney, blood, fish, shrimp, eggs, soy products, black fungus, black sesame, red dates, peanuts, as well as fresh vegetables and fruits.
5. Nourishing with Medicine: Anemic individuals should supplement their diet with blood-nourishing medicinal foods. One can use 15 grams of Codonopsis pilosula and 15 red dates to make a tea-like decoction. Alternatively, one can cook 60 grams of maltose, 20 red dates, and an appropriate amount of water until fully cooked and consume it. Another option is to consume a porridge made from 20 grams of Polygonum multiflorum, 20 grams of goji berries, 60 grams of glutinous rice, 15 red dates, and an appropriate amount of brown sugar. For severe anemia, ferrous sulfate tablets can be added as well.
In addition, it is important to treat bleeding disorders. If women have diseases such as excessive menstruation, menstrual irregularities, intestinal parasitic diseases, atrophic gastritis, upper gastrointestinal ulcers, hemorrhoids, or recurrent nosebleeds, they should seek medical attention early and treat them as soon as possible. Minimizing the occurrence of excessive miscarriages can also help conserve blood, which is an important condition for women to maintain a healthy body.
