Changes in the composition of the blood can be achieved by including various foods in the diet, as they say experts of the portal “healthy-food.rf”. They recommend including in your diet foods such as red meat, organ meats, chicken and quail eggs, as well as fish, spinach and dark chocolate.
Experts note that red meat is a rich source of iron, which is essential for the production of red blood cells, or red blood cells, in the body. Organ meats are also rich in iron, however, they often contain high amounts of cholesterol. Therefore, it is important to control portion sizes and take into account your doctor’s recommendations.
Iron, present in animal hemoglobin, causes the red color of meat, doctors emphasize. In addition, chicken and quail eggs, enriched with magnesium, unsaturated fatty acids and vitamins, are also considered sources of iron.
The same applies to fish and spinach, in which iron is best absorbed due to its high vitamin C content. In addition, a valuable microelement can be obtained from dark chocolate.
Nutritionist Nikita Kotelnitsky spoke specifically for MedicForum about other foods rich in magnesium and iron.
Magnesium plays an important role in many biological processes in the human body. It is necessary for maintaining the health of the cardiovascular system, nervous system, muscles, as well as for the proper functioning of the immune system and metabolism.
“Magnesium is involved in the activation of more than 300 enzymes, including those involved in protein synthesis, regulation of blood glucose levels, energy production in cells, etc. Iron is involved in respiration and metabolism, as well as in the functioning of the immune system. Lack of iron can lead to anemia, weakness, fatigue, problems with concentration, decreased immunity and other serious health consequences,” says Kotelnitsky.
Kotelnitsky listed foods rich in magnesium and iron.
nuts (especially almonds, hazelnuts and cashews), seeds (teak, sunflower, sesame), green vegetables (spinach, broccoli), whole grains (oatmeal, brown rice, whole grain bread), beans (black, red, beans), as well as some types of fish (tuna, mackerel) and some fruits (bananas, avocados).
Eating foods rich in magnesium helps maintain normal levels of this important mineral in the body, which benefits the health of the heart, nervous system, muscles and other organs.
Foods rich in iron include red meat (beef, lamb), liver (beef, veal), seafood (oysters, shrimp), poultry (chicken, duck), fish (tuna, salmon), beans and peas (black, red, kidney beans), nuts and seeds (hazelnuts , cashews, sunflower seeds), green vegetables (spinach, broccoli), whole grains (oatmeal, barley), and some dried fruits (raisins, prunes).
