Women are prone to anemia, which can cause symptoms such as pale complexion, dry hair, tinnitus and dizziness. In fact, men are also prone to anemia, and anemia in men will also have these symptoms, and may even cause impotence. So, what should men eat to replenish blood and how should they maintain their health?

The dangers of anemia in men

As the saying goes, "one drop of semen equals ten drops of blood", so does anemia in men have a certain impact on their sex life? Experts say that in addition to causing weakness, headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and lethargy, anemia can also cause sexual dysfunction, decreased libido, and even impotence. The reason why anemia causes impotence is related to the following three factors.

1. First of all, anemia will cause a decrease in the amount of oxygen supplied to cells, which will affect the functions of various organs. In particular, under the condition of low blood oxygen, it will lead to a decrease in the secretion of male hormones (testosterone), causing the secretion function of the pituitary gland to be disordered, and ultimately affecting testicular functional abnormalities.

2. Secondly, if anemia persists for a long time, the autonomic nervous function is prone to disorder, the patient is prone to mental tension and emotional agitation, which may lead to the occurrence of psychological impotence.

3. Finally, anemic patients will experience a lack of energy, and their body functions will not be fully utilized during sexual intercourse, which can lead to the occurrence of psychological impotence.

For impotence caused by anemia, the cause should be eliminated first. That is, the primary disease should be treated and the anemia problem should be improved, so that the symptoms of impotence can be improved.

What should men eat to replenish blood?

First of all, we must start with dietary supplements and take in enough iron. Foods that are rich in iron for blood replenishing include: among animal foods, animal liver and animal blood are the richest in iron. Meat, fish, egg yolks, etc. also contain a lot of iron. Among plant foods, spinach, potatoes, black fungus, kelp, sesame, etc. contain more iron. You can use an iron pan to cook, and the iron can also enter the food, so more iron is absorbed.

You can eat blood-tonifying and blood-nourishing foods such as pork liver, radish, black fungus, chicken, pork, mutton, sea cucumber, etc. Fruits include mulberry, grape, red date, longan, etc. You can also combine Chinese medicine for blood-tonifying.
