Dates and brown sugar can help you

Recently, several ladies asked me a similar question: Traditional Chinese medicine said that I had blood deficiency, Western Medicine said that I had iron deficiency anemia, let alone running, and I couldn't walk I don't want to take medicine It's said that eating jujube can make a girl healthy, so I eat a few red jujubes every day, or drink a cup of sweet red jujube thick syrup However, after eating for 3 months, the hemoglobin test results did not change at all What's the matter? Is it wrong that Chinese medicine says that Chinese date can replenish blood? Another girl asked me that I was very anaemic I heard that brown sugar can replenish blood and regulate menstruation Another said that "women can't live without sugar for a hundred days" My mother asked me to drink a cup of brown sugar water every morning and evening, but after a semester, the effect was not obvious Before women sit on the moon to replenish blood, don't they all eat brown sugar? Indeed, among women, anemia has always been a concern From little girls on diet, expectant mothers in pregnancy, to women in menopause, and even female athletes, the proportion of anemia is very high The survey in some universities shows that the anaemia rate of female college students is about 20%, while in many areas, the rate of anaemia of pregnant women can be as high as 30% It is not uncommon for menopausal women to be called "yellow faced women" because of their sallow complexion due to anemia However, whether anemia can be cured by eating jujube and drinking brown sugar water, we should first understand the cause of anemia in human body, and also understand what is in jujube and brown sugar I why anemia? In addition to the anemia caused by genetic factors, drug factors and other pathological factors, most women's anemia is caused by two reasons: one is blood loss, the other is malnutrition 1 What is blood loss? How to make up the so-called blood loss, in addition to the bleeding within the disease, mainly including trauma bleeding, hemorrhoids bleeding, menstrual bleeding and so on It is common for women to lose too much menstrual blood Not only a small number of young women have this situation, but also middle-aged women suffer from anemia due to uterine fibroids and menopause Some even have hemoglobin content below 60mg / L, sallow complexion and no strength to walk upstairs In this case, although there is no lack of protein and iron in the daily diet, if the problem of blood loss is not solved, the speed of hematopoiesis can not keep up with the speed of blood loss, and hemoglobin is always in a state of "beyond the means", anemia can not be improved Therefore, the treatment of diseases that lead to blood loss is the fundamental solution to anemia Many middle-aged women in the removal of hysteromyoma, bleeding problems no longer appear, hemoglobin will soon return to normal, the face also returned to ruddy state Some women think that the operation will "hurt their vitality" and will not do it As a result, no matter whether they eat jujube or drink brown sugar water, they cannot solve the problem Anemia is becoming more and more serious, and the result is "hurt their vitality" 2 What is malnutrition? How to make up blood without losing blood, but anemia caused by malnutrition, can also be divided into two aspects to discuss On the one hand, the digestion and absorption function is low, on the other hand, the diet content is unreasonable Many women lose weight because of long-term diet, or irregular diet and life, resulting in a decline in gastrointestinal function, or lack of appetite, or eating a little thing blocked in the stomach, often flatulence in the abdomen In this case, the nutrients in the food, especially the trace elements such as iron and zinc, are not absorbed enough, and there is not enough iron to make hemoglobin The indicator is anemia, and the face looks yellow and dark As long as we treat gastrointestinal diseases, at the same time, we have enough rest and relax our mood, we can recover the normal digestion and absorption function, the anemia problem will be solved naturally, and the face will gradually become smooth For such problems, eating dates and drinking brown sugar water are not very helpful According to Chinese traditional saying, jujube has certain "invigorating spleen" function, which means that it is beneficial to improve digestion and absorption However, its role is still relatively small, and it can not replace the traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment of gastrointestinal diseases and various daily life maintenance measures Therefore, no doctor uses jujube alone to treat dyspepsia Even, many people with dyspepsia eat jujube more will cause abdominal distention and increase the burden of the digestive system 2 Is blood tonic food really effective? Can we eat more meat? If there is no problem in digestion and absorption, the main cause of iron deficiency anemia is often unreasonable diet, in which iron, zinc, protein, B vitamins and other essential nutrients for hematopoiesis are insufficient At this time, doctors and nutritionists recommend the first choice of "blood tonic" food, which is often not jujube and brown sugar, but red animal viscera and red meat, as well as vitamin C supplementation In the traditional health care of our country, there is also the saying of "flesh and blood with emotion" In fact, the red color of red blood, viscera and lean meat, like the red color in human blood, comes from heme, the iron pigment Heme is embedded in a special protein, which makes up the red hemoglobin and myoglobin in the human body Heme can be directly absorbed by the digestive tract, and the absorption process is almost free from the interference of other food factors, with high efficiency If anemic women eat the red blood, viscera and meat of other animals, they can directly "take" the heme and absorb it, and then use it to make their own hemoglobin, which is more convenient It's easy to know the content of heme in food Just look at the color In the raw state, the deeper the red color, the higher the content For example, the liver, spleen and kidney are red and purple, and the content of heme and iron is the highest For example, the iron content in chicken liver is as high as 9.6mg/100g, and that in pig liver is 22.6mg/100g The red color of beef tendon and mutton leg is very deep, and the iron content is higher than that of pink pork Chicken leg meat and chicken neck meat are slightly red, and chicken breast meat is almost white, so the heme content of chicken breast meat is lower Therefore, eating meat is an important measure for women to prevent anemia So, jujube and brown sugar, are they good sources of iron? Although not comparable to red meat, but in plant-based food, they are all ingredients to supplement iron Plant iron is a bit troublesome to use First, insoluble iron should be changed into soluble state, then absorbed into blood, and then it can synthesize heme by itself In this process, there are many obstacles such as phytic acid, oxalic acid, phosphoric acid, dietary fiber and so on The absorption and utilization efficiency is far lower than that of heme in red meat Fortunately, with a lot of vitamin C, the iron absorption rate in vegetarians can be improved The main component of jujube is sugar, accounting for 70% - 80% Its iron content is about 2-3mg / 100g, and the substances that interfere with iron absorption, such as oxalic acid and phytic acid, are few Other dried fruits are also good sources of iron, such as longan, raisins and so on Because they are sweet and popular with women, they are good snacks between meals They can also be eaten in sweets and pastries, such as tremella and jujube soup, jujube cake, raisin and eight treasures rice, and jujube and longan eight treasures porridge More than 95% of the components in brown sugar are sucrose Compared with white sugar, its nutritional value is indeed much higher This is because brown sugar retains and concentrates the mineral nutrients in sugarcane, and there is nothing in white sugar except "sucrose", which promotes people to gain weight In terms of nutritional value, it can almost be described as "one poor and two white" The content of iron in brown sugar is 2 mg /100 g, equivalent to jujube However, a healthy adult woman with normal monthly menstruation needs 20 mg of iron per day If you rely on dates or brown sugar to supply, you need to eat 1000 grams, which is 2 jin This is clearly impossible Even if you eat half of it, it will make you seriously fat 3 How should women correctly replenish blood? When the five methods are mentioned here, the conclusion is very clear 1 In case of iron deficiency anemia, first of all, the causes shall be clarified and the causes shall be eliminated, such as blood loss, dyspepsia, over diet, etc 2 In order to supply enough protein, iron and other nutrients needed for hematopoiesis, we must eat enough protein and iron The best measure is to eat 1-2 dark red meat materials every day The heme iron contained in these foods is particularly easy to absorb, and they are also a good source of B vitamins and zinc 3 In order to help plant food absorb and utilize iron better, 1-3 vitamin C tablets should be supplemented at the same time of each meal At the same time, eat enough fresh fruits and vegetables 4 Jujube is a good snack and sweet food, but it is not the main food to solve the problem of anemia 5 If you must add sugar for seasoning, brown sugar is a better choice than white sugar Women who have no problem with blood sugar control can eat a proper amount every day The final advice is that if the clinical diagnosis standard of anemia has been reached, we should see a doctor as soon as possible, and adjust the diet comprehensively to ensure the nutrition supply of protein and iron Serious cases need to take medicine for treatment, the effect is faster than diet adjustment Don't think that drinking some brown sugar water and eating a few jujubes can solve the problem easily The legend of eating Auricularia, kelp and other iron supplements is even less reliable, because their iron utilization rate is lower Solved anaemia problem, not only complexion can be more ruddy, vigor also can enhance The effect of exercise and fitness can be further improved!
