An introduction to the 7 major dietary misunderstandings about replenishing blood

　　Myth 1: Drinking milk can supplement iron

　　Milk is rich in protein and other nutrients, but the iron content is not high, and the human body's absorption rate of iron in milk is only 10%, which is basically difficult to supplement enough for menstruation. female Therefore, it is not feasible to rely on drinking milk to supplement iron and blood.

　　Myth 2: Fruits and vegetables cannot supplement iron

　　Everyone knows that fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamin C, citric acid and acid. They think that without iron, blood cannot be replenished. This is actually wrong. Most fruits and vegetables contain almost no iron. However, the organic acids contained in fruits and vegetables can react with iron to form compounds, thereby increasing the solubility of iron in the intestines and facilitating iron absorption.

　　Myth 3: Eating meat is not as good as eating spinach

　　Spinach is one of the few fruits and vegetables with high iron content, so many women who love beauty feel that eating spinach can not only replenish iron and blood, but also maintain a graceful figure, so they are more inclined to eat spinach and eat less meat. But research says meat is a better source of iron than spinach. The iron contained in beef and chicken can be absorbed by 15%-35%, but the iron in spinach can only be absorbed by 2%-20%. Therefore eating meat is the first choice.
