Chinese medicine believes the quality of blood is very easily improved through diet. A diet rich in fresh vegetables is essential. In particular, dark green leafy vegetables and chlorophyll-rich foods are helpful, especially when combined with grains. It’s also important to eat a decent amount of protein. All meat, fish, many beans and several seafoods will strengthen the blood.
