Core Tip: Lamb is a "hot" food, which is not conducive to the recovery of some patients with blood diseases. For patients with blood diseases, they should also be cautious about eating lamb in winter when the weather is cold.
Due to the cold weather, lamb dumplings and lamb hotpot have become popular, and lamb restaurants are bustling everywhere.
In ancient times, lamb was called "meat of the ram". It can not only ward off cold and wind, but also nourish the body. It is effective in treating and replenishing various deficiencies such as common cold and cough, chronic bronchitis, asthma due to deficiency cold, impotence due to kidney deficiency, abdominal cold pain, fear of cold due to physical weakness, soreness in the waist and knees, sallow complexion and emaciation, deficiency of both qi and blood, and physical weakness after illness or childbirth. It is most suitable for consumption in winter, hence it is known as a winter tonic and is deeply loved by people.
However, for patients with blood diseases, even in the cold winter, they should be cautious about eating lamb.
For patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, unstable aplastic anemia, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, myelodysplastic syndromes, and acute leukemia, traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is caused by the invasion of heat toxin, which damages the internal organs and bone marrow. Lamb is a "hot" food, which is not conducive to the recovery of some patients with blood diseases. Not only lamb, but also other "trigger" foods such as dog meat, rooster, and seafood can easily aggravate the condition. Therefore, some patients with other blood diseases who are prone to heat, bleeding, or infection should use it with caution.
It seems that patients with blood diseases must really control their appetite for their own health. Although lamb is good, those who are not suitable for it should not eat it. It is hoped that all patients with blood diseases can pay attention to every detail in their daily lives so that they can recover their health soon.
