Anemia refers to a lack of red blood cells and hemoglobin in the blood. There are several different types of anemia, one of which is iron deficiency anemia, which means that there is too little iron in the red blood cells. This is also the most common type of anemia.

To prevent iron deficiency anemia, first of all, you need to pay attention to your diet and consume a balanced amount of iron-rich foods such as red meat, liver, egg yolks, and cereals. If the iron intake in the diet is insufficient or the iron deficiency is severe, iron supplementation is necessary.

Vitamin C can help the absorption of iron and also help produce hemoglobin, so the intake of vitamin C must be sufficient.

It should be noted that milk and some drugs that neutralize stomach acid will hinder the absorption of iron, so try not to consume them with iron-containing foods.

Women are more likely to suffer from iron deficiency anemia because they lose blood regularly during their menstrual period every month. So on average, about 20% of women and 50% of pregnant women suffer from anemia. If anemia is not very serious, there is no need to take various supplements. The symptoms of anemia can be changed by adjusting your diet.

For example, first of all, you should pay attention to your diet and consume a balanced amount of iron-rich foods such as liver, egg yolks, and cereals. If your diet does not provide enough iron or you are severely iron deficient, you should take iron supplements immediately. Vitamin C can help the absorption of iron and also help produce hemoglobin, so the intake of vitamin C must be sufficient. Secondly, eat more fresh vegetables. Many vegetables are rich in iron. Such as black fungus, seaweed, hair algae, shepherd's purse, black sesame, lotus root powder, etc.

Here are some recommended home-cooked blood-enriching foods: Black beans: In ancient my country, people have always believed that eating beans is beneficial. Most books say that black beans can make people's hair darker. In fact, black beans can also produce blood. How to eat black beans depends on personal preference. If it is postpartum, it is recommended to cook black-bone chicken with black beans. Hair algae: Hair algae is very black in color and does not look good, but it contains a high level of iron. Using hair algae to cook soup or dishes can replenish blood. Carrots: Carrots are high in vitamins B and C, as well as a special nutrient - carotene. Carotene is extremely beneficial for replenishing blood. Carrot soup is a very good blood-replenishing soup. However, many people do not like to eat carrots. My personal method is to squeeze carrot juice, add honey and drink it as a beverage. Gluten: This is a folk food. It is available in most vegetarian restaurants and braised food stalls. Gluten is rich in iron. To replenish blood, you must first replenish iron. Spinach: This is the most common vegetable. It is also a well-known blood-enriching food. Spinach is rich in iron and carotene, so spinach can be regarded as an important blood-enriching vegetable. If you don’t like carrots, eat more vegetables. Daylily: Daylily contains the highest amount of iron, 20 times higher than the familiar spinach. It is rich in iron. Daylily also contains rich nutrients such as vitamins A, B1, C, protein, fat and colchicum alkaloids. Longan meat: Longan meat is the same as dried jujube pulp, which is available in any supermarket. In addition to being rich in iron, longan flesh also contains vitamins A, B, glucose, sucrose, etc. While replenishing blood, it can also treat forgetfulness, palpitations, neurasthenia and insomnia. Longan soup, longan gel, longan wine, etc. are also good blood-replenishing foods. Dried radish: Dried radish is a beneficial vegetable. It is extremely rich in vitamin B and has a high iron content. Therefore, it is the most inconspicuous and cheapest but the best health-preserving food. Its iron content exceeds that of all foods except day lily. It should be noted that people with anemia should not drink tea, as drinking more tea will only aggravate the symptoms of anemia. Because the iron in food enters the digestive tract in the form of trivalent colloidal ferric hydroxide. Under the action of gastric juice, high-valent iron is converted into low-valent iron before it can be absorbed. However, tea contains tannic acid, which easily forms insoluble tannic acid iron after drinking, thus hindering the absorption of iron. Secondly, milk and some drugs that neutralize stomach acid will hinder the absorption of iron, so try not to consume them with iron-containing foods.

The above content has answered in detail the question of what to do if blood pressure is low after giving birth. I believe that everyone must have some understanding of this aspect now. I hope everyone can take good care of the mothers at home and give them more nutritious food after giving birth, which will help them recover.
