How should pregnant women replenish their blood?

A pregnant woman's body nutrients must be supplied to the fetus in large quantities to ensure fetal development. Therefore, pregnant women are very prone to malnutrition, which is mainly manifested as anemia. At this time, proper blood supplementation is necessary, otherwise it will have a great impact on the development of the pregnant woman and the fetus. Let’s take a look at how pregnant women can replenish their blood. I hope women who have just become pregnant can understand it.

1. Iron supplementation is key for pregnant women:

Regardless of whether you are anemic or not during pregnancy, you should supplement iron. You should regularly eat some animal offal, such as liver and heart (eat 1-2 times a week, about 2 taels each time), as well as red lean meat, such as beef, pork, lamb and other meats, and animal blood (you can cook blood tofu soup, etc.). These foods are high in iron, close to the components in the human body, and are most easily absorbed. Egg yolks are also a good iron supplement.

2. Eat a combination of meat and vegetables to replenish blood every day:

During pregnancy, if you have anemia, you should pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables. Red dates, red beans, glutinous rice, black fungus, black sesame, and soybeans are plant-based foods with higher iron content. Cook some red date glutinous rice porridge every week; have a bowl of black sesame in the morning and a cup of red date tea in the afternoon. Long-term consumption can have a certain regulating effect on anemia, but the absorption rate of iron in plants is much lower than that in animal foods.

3. Strengthen the supplement of vitamin C to speed up blood replenishment:

Green vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamin C, which can promote the absorption of iron and speed up blood replenishment. For example, eating some grapes, apples, or drinking a glass of orange juice after a meal can greatly improve the absorption of iron. Others include enoki mushrooms, longan meat, black beans, carrots, spinach, etc.

During pregnancy, as the fetus has a greater demand for nutrients such as iron, unless a large amount of iron-rich foods are consumed, if dietary supplements alone have no obvious effect, the pregnant woman's hemoglobin (hemoglobin) may continue to decline. It is recommended to supplement with iron supplements commonly used by pregnant women, such as taking Tiezhiyuan tablets, in combination with iron supplements to increase nutrition, meet the pregnant woman's nutritional needs for iron and protein, and more comprehensively improve anemia.
