A good food supplement for anemia patients

Stir-fried pork liver with celery is a dish rich in iron and folic acid. It is an excellent daily food supplement for women and infants prone to anemia.

We know that folic acid is not only an indispensable auxiliary enzyme in the metabolism of fat and amino acids in the human body, but its main function is to assist in the production of red blood cells and prevent red blood cell deformation. Iron is an essential trace element for the production of hemoglobin. Green leafy vegetables and animal livers contain certain amounts of folic acid and iron, especially celery and spinach.

Ingredients: 200 grams of pork liver, 300 grams of celery (or 200 grams of spinach), 25 grams of soy sauce, 20 grams of sugar, 10 grams of rice wine, and 30 grams of wet starch.

Preparation: 1. Remove the fascia from the liver and cut it into thin slices with a sharp knife. Mix the liver slices with starch, rice wine and salt and set aside. 2. Remove the celery leaves, take out 6 liang of the stems, wash them with clean water, and cut them into 3 cm long segments. 3. Heat the oil pan over high heat, pour in cold lard, heat the oil to 60% temperature, add the pork liver, stir it, and after it changes color, pour it into a colander to drain the oil. 4. Leave a little oil in the pot, continue to cook on high heat, add celery and stir-fry, add soy sauce, sugar, and salt before it is cooked, thicken with wet starch, then pour in pork liver, stir-fry for a few times, drizzle a little balsamic vinegar on the side of the pot, and then serve.

Features: The pork liver is tender and refreshing, the celery has a strong aromatic flavor, with a hint of sourness and delicious taste.

Effect: Every 100 grams of pork liver contains 25 mg of iron, and every 100 grams of celery contains 8.2 mg of iron. Each serving of fried pork liver with celery provides 74 mg of iron. This dish is especially beneficial for women.

Dietary supplements for anemia

According to statistics, the proportion of Asian women suffering from anemia is quite high. On average, one in every four to five women suffers from anemia. If we look at the age distribution, the proportion is about 20% between the ages of 20 to 24, and 30% between the ages of 25 to 29. The reason why women are more prone to anemia than men can be attributed to the fact that men have more circulating blood than women and women need more iron than men, especially during menstruation and pregnancy. Once iron supplementation is insufficient, anemia can easily occur. Clinically, the symptoms of anemia include pale skin, dull complexion, fatigue, weakness, dizziness, tinnitus, memory loss and inattention.

Anemia is mostly classified as a "deficiency syndrome" in the diagnosis and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine. Its dietary therapy is mainly based on the principles of nourishing the heart, strengthening the spleen, and replenishing the blood. In traditional Chinese medicine's tonic method, blood, flesh and living things are often used for conditioning, and good results can be achieved. In addition, people who suffer from anemia should take more vitamin C because vitamin C helps the absorption of iron.
