What I found interesting is that in Chinese medicine the eyesight is a property of healthy blood. So when person is blood deficient their eyes get weak, vision is blurry, hair are thinning, and nails are brittle. Of course there is always Chinese diagnostics by pulse and tongue to support the symptoms. The leafy greens and brussel sprouts are amongst the most important foods recommended in cases of blood deficiency. Person can get blood deficient due to many causes. The most obvious ones are trauma with massive blood loss, surgery, childbirth. Sometimes it can be a result of being vegetarian and not keeping balanced diet. Teenage girls sometimes are candidates for being blood deficient due to heavy menstrual periods and refusal to eat well. Amongst other recommendations I often suggest to my patients with blood deficiency (and no contraindication for leafy greens) to get bitter greens powder and mix them into the morning shake or berry juice. Of course fresh is better but with our busy lifestyle the powder will do too. Thank you for the informative article!
