2. The cobalt contained in pig blood is an important trace element for preventing the growth of malignant tumors in the human body, which is difficult to obtain in other foods;

5. Eating pig blood is good for bowel movement. The incidence of anemia among people over 60 years old in my country is very high, with the latest survey showing 21.5%. The iron in pig blood is heme iron, which is not only higher than any other food, but also easily absorbed by the human body. Its absorption rate in the small intestine can reach 37%, which is comparable to the absorption rate of heme iron, the basic component of many commercially available iron supplements. Therefore, if the elderly eat 20 grams of pig blood every day, they can basically make up for their iron needs and avoid and correct anemia.

5. Human body "scavenger"

Pig blood can also effectively remove the damage to the human body caused by dust and harmful metal particles. Modern medical research has found that the protein in pig blood, after being decomposed by gastric acid, can produce a disinfectant and intestines-lubricating substance. This substance can react biochemically with dust and harmful metal particles that enter the human body, and then remove these harmful substances from the body through excretion. It can be called a "scavenger" of human waste.
