Red bean is a cereal with high nutrition, and plant iron is not easily absorbed.
Yu Fang Hu pointed out that red bean is a kind of cereal with high nutrition, which is rich in nutrients such as starch, protein, low fat, phosphorus and potassium, dietary fiber and iron, among which the iron content is about 7. 1 mg per gram. Even if the iron content is high, the absorption efficiency of plant iron is far less than that of animal iron. Therefore, if red bean is used as blood-enriching food, The premise is that anemia belongs to iron deficiency anemia. If there is no absolute relationship between anemia and iron, only iron supplementation may not be able to replenish blood. The key point is to understand your physical condition first.
The main function of red beans with high iron content is not to enrich blood.
Yu Fang Hu said that it is a beautiful misunderstanding to enrich blood with red beans, which probably comes from the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic that red blood enters the heart, so it was mistaken for red blood. However, there is no option of red beans in Chinese medicine for enriching blood, although it is rich in iron and the absorption of plant iron is not good. In addition, supplementing blood in Chinese medicine is not equal to the principle of hematopoiesis in western medicine. If you really want to supplement blood to the people, you should first clarify what blood to supplement and what causes related diseases, and then open a unique combination of prescription and medicine after dialectical evaluation by doctors.
It is most important to clarify the cause of blood loss first and have a balanced diet.
As for female friends who lose a lot of iron during menstruation, how to choose ingredients? Yu Fang Hu mentioned that if a woman has passed her menstrual period, she might as well choose meat, such as beef, pork, viscera, mutton, seafood with nine holes, oysters, clams and other ingredients. Vegetarians can choose dark vegetables, nuts, black sesame seeds, etc., which are all rich in iron. For medicinal materials with real blood-enriching effects, such as angelica, radix rehmanniae Preparata, donkey-hide gelatin and Polygonum Multiflori Radix, people are not advised to buy and take them themselves.
People who take iron supplements should not eat black tea, coffee and milk together.
Yu Fang Hu reminded that red beans contain high amounts of potassium ions and phosphorus ions. If there are kidney diseases, heart diseases and chronic diseases, red bean soup should not be taken in excess, especially for patients with kidney dialysis; If anyone takes iron, they should avoid eating it together with black tea, coffee, milk or foods rich in calcium, so as not to hinder the absorption of iron. Although red beans have many benefits, drinking sweet red bean soup in cold weather may bring happiness. Don't forget that red beans are rich in dietary fiber, and excessive consumption should be avoided to avoid flatulence.
