对抗贫血—药用植物明日叶是如何改善你贫血的倾向？

贫血红细胞与正常红细胞数量对比

一个美国家庭的亲身的体验…

在家里，我的妈妈、妹妹和我都有容易贫血的倾向（当然并不严重）。对我们来说，大约90/60的低血压仍然被视为正常，所以，我们往往总是每天服用铁补充剂来预防缺铁性贫血。

随着明日叶的出现，我们了解到明日叶中含有各种各样的活性化合物，其中的一种对解决贫血倾向是有效的。

因此，当每天早晨我们喝了一杯又一杯咖啡的时候，我们开始决定换一种方式。取代热巧克力、牛奶或橙汁等作为提神的饮料，我们选用明日叶茶。准备一杯明日叶茶是很简单的，我们轻轻地将明日叶的叶子洗净，然后放入水中煮沸10~15分钟，便可以饮用了。

每周大约饮用三次明日叶茶，这帮助我们的血压变得“更正常”了。大约一个月后，从我们第一次喝明日叶茶到现在，我的血压已经变成100/80了。

我的身体获得了充足的氧气，让我感觉不那么疲惫了。氧气被带到了我身体里的器官和组织中，并且，拥有了一个很好数量的红细胞，它们在我的身体系统里循环。对我来说，如果这不算好消息的话，我也不知道真正的好消息是什么了。 

明日叶的力量：好的令人难以置信？

在中国和日本在整个历史，明日叶已经吸引了很多人的注意。明日叶能够治愈贫血，因为它富含维生素B12和叶绿素。

没有错，叶绿素是在植物上的绿色的色素，我们已经在中学的科学课有所学习，它（叶绿素）从太阳中收集和储存能力。

食用富含叶绿素的食物，有助于我们的身体构建和促进生成新的红细胞（血红蛋白），而红细胞对我们的心脏很有好处。更进一步讲，当我们的身体拥有足够的纯化血红细胞，它们携带更多的氧气到达血液的组织中。

明日叶的叶子和茎中有一种黄色的树液，我们称它为查尓酮（英文chalcones），它能抑制低密度脂蛋白胆固醇的氧化，打断动脉硬化的第一步。同时，查尓酮能够清除血液中的毒素、防止血液粘稠，所以血液最终可以更容易地流动。

Fighting Against Anemia ~ How Medicinal Plant Ashitaba Solves Your Anemic Tendencies

In the family, my mom, my sister and I are all prone to anemic tendencies (though not that serious). Having low blood pressure (about 90/60) is still considered normal for us. So we tend to always take iron supplements every day to prevent iron-deficient anemia. With the ashitaba phenomenon, we have been informed that one of the various active compounds in ashitaba is effective in solving anemic tendencies.

So when a morning is spent refilling cups of coffee, we turn the other way around. Instead of hot chocolate, milk or orange juice as a pick-me-up, we grab ashitaba tea. Preparing ashitaba tea is really simple. We just blanch the leaves lightly and boil them in water for about 10-15 minutes before drinking.

Taking ashitaba tea about three times a week has helped our blood pressure become “more normal.” After about a month since the first time we took ashitaba to date, my rate has been 100/80. My body gets enough oxygen, making me feel less tired. Oxygen is also carried to my organs and tissues and there are a good number of red blood cells circulating in my system. If that isn’t good news, I don’t know what is.

Power of Ashitaba Leaves: Too Good to be True?

Throughout the history in China and Japan, Ashitaba leaves have attracted many people’s attention. The tomorrow plant treats anemia as it is rich in B12 and chlorophyll. Yes, chlorophyll is the green pigment on plants that we learned about in middle school Science. It collects and stores energy from the sun.

Consuming food with chlorophyll helps our body build and stimulate new red blood cells (hemoglobin) which is good for our heart. Furthermore, when our body achieves sufficient purified red blood cells, they carry more oxygen to the blood’s tissues.

Ashitaba leaves and stem have this yellow sap called chalcones, which inhibit the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, interrupting the first step of arteriosclerosis. Taking chalcones cleans toxins in our blood and prevents the blood from being sticky, so that it can flow more easily.
