3/18 (Wed): [Blood Nourishment] 'Black Sesame & Seaweed' over Spinach? A Secret Strategy to Efficiently Increase Blood
Hello! It's the third Wednesday of the month~
How are you doing?
I've just recovered from being a bit under the weather.
I was bedridden over the weekend.
I had a headache and a low-grade fever caused by changes in atmospheric pressure.
I was tired, and my complexion was poor.
I felt sluggish, like I had no strength.
These are common symptoms of seasonal transition illness.
"I feel a bit lightheaded sometimes."
"My complexion turns earthy by the evening."
Have you ever experienced things like this?
That can be a sign that your body is lacking 'Blood' (Xue),
and that nutrients and oxygen aren't reaching your whole body!
That's a sign of that!
Today, I'm supporting the struggle of seasonal transition illness through diet!
I've put a spotlight on the 'true blood-nourishing star'
hidden in the shadow of spinach.
1. Why do 'black foods' increase blood?
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, there is a saying,
'Liver and Kidney share the same origin',
which tells us that
the 'Liver,' which stores blood, and the 'Kidney,' which governs life energy,
are closely connected.
💠 Black Sesame (Nourishes Liver/Kidney, Moistens Intestines):
It directly powers up the 'Kidney' and creates the foundation for making high-quality blood.
Furthermore, it is rich in antioxidant Vitamin E,
which is directly linked to anti-aging (glowing skin).
💠 Seaweed (Nourishes Blood, Resolves Phlegm):
It is packed with marine minerals and has the power not only to nourish blood
but also to clear away the 'sludge' that causes poor blood circulation.
Spinach has a strong power to remove (cool) heat from the blood,
so during times when you are concerned about coldness or have a weak digestive system,
'black sesame,' which has a warming nature,
is gentler and more efficient for our bodies.

🌟 Secret Strategy for Efficiency
To make blood, you need 'protein'—by taking this 'black furikake' together with eggs, chicken, etc., the materials for blood are perfectly assembled.
2. To my former self: When I only ate salads and became deficient in 'blood'.
I used to eat nothing but raw vegetable salads
for the sake of my health.
I thought, 'It has spinach in it, so it's perfect!'
but in reality...
my body was completely chilled,
and the 'fire (metabolism)' needed to create blood
was about to go out.
I want to tell my past self,
'Before you freeze your stomach with cold salads,
sprinkle black sesame seeds over warm soup.
The warmth of black is what will bring
the redness (healthy complexion) back to your face.'
That is the point.
💡 Today's 'Blood Storage' Action
✅ Sprinkle 'black sesame seeds' on every meal
to send energy to your kidneys.
✅ When climbing stairs, breathe more slowly
than usual and feel the blood circulating through your body.
✅ Sleep by 23:00.
Blood returns to the 'liver' while you sleep
to be purified and regenerated.
By borrowing the power of 'black',
your stamina in the afternoon will change surprisingly!
Tomorrow, we will finish the stage of storing blood
with a recipe idea to deliciously replenish 'blood' as a family.
