It has a good blood-replenishing effect. If a woman loses too much blood during menstruation and experiences dizziness, pale face, etc., drinking hot red bean soup with brown sugar regularly can replenish blood and improve anemia symptoms.

Red dates, also known as jujubes, are an excellent food and medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that jujube is sweet and neutral in nature, and can nourish the spleen and stomach, replenish qi and produce body fluid, thereby replenishing qi and blood, and improving symptoms such as sallow complexion caused by blood deficiency. Modern research has also proved that the polysaccharide components in red dates can affect the hematopoietic system and promote hematopoietic function. Therefore, people often use jujubes to cook porridge and stew chicken to treat anemia caused by long-term illness and physical weakness, with good results.

Peanuts are sweet and neutral in nature, and have the effects of invigorating qi and strengthening the spleen, replenishing blood and stopping bleeding. The dual effects of peanuts in stopping bleeding and replenishing blood mainly refer to the peanut skin (the red skin on the outside of the peanut kernel). Peanut skins can inhibit the dissolution of fibrin, increase the content of platelets and improve the quality of platelets, while also promoting bone marrow hematopoietic function. Therefore, peanut skins are effective in treating bleeding and anemia caused by bleeding.

Red beans, also known as adzuki beans, are mild in nature and taste sweet and sour. It can promote diuresis, reduce swelling and strengthen the spleen. In recent years, it has been discovered that red beans contain a variety of vitamins and trace elements, especially iron and vitamin B12, which can replenish blood and promote blood circulation. If a woman loses too much blood during menstruation and experiences dizziness, pale face, etc., drinking hot red bean soup with brown sugar regularly can replenish blood and improve anemia symptoms.

Therefore, the combination of red dates, peanuts and red beans has a good blood-replenishing effect.
