Happy Fertility Friday!
Today’s tip is to prioritize iron-rich foods to nourish your blood. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, “blood deficiency” is a diagnosis that simply means you’re lacking an adequate supply of blood due to various factors: chronic stress, illness, heavy menstruation, or childbirth. When you are blood deficient, this can negatively impact your fertility, as your reproductive organs need plenty of healthy blood and circulation to function properly.
Some foods to add into your diet to help nourish the blood are:
- high quality red meat,
- leafy greens, such as spinach,
- lentils, and
- quinoa.
Vitamin C can also aid the body’s absorption of iron, so feel free to also include bell peppers, citrus fruits, kiwi, and guava into your diet as well!
If you feel your body needs extra support while you are trying to conceive, acupuncture is always a safe bet when it comes to improving the quality of your blood, balancing hormones, and preparing your body for conception.
