What happens if you eat too much duck blood?

Animal blood is rich in nutrients, and it can effectively remove dust. Therefore, people who work outdoors for a long time can eat more animal blood to protect their lungs. Whether it is pig blood, duck blood, chicken blood or other blood, they can all be used, and the effect of each type of blood is slightly different. Because duck blood is more tender than other blood, many people prefer to eat duck blood. But what happens if you eat too much duck blood?

1. What are the benefits of eating duck blood?

(1) Hematopoiesis and blood supplementation

The iron content in duck blood is extremely high, more than three times that of pig blood. Iron is the main raw material of hemoglobin. Eating duck blood properly can promote the synthesis of one's own red blood cells and has the effect of hematopoiesis and blood tonic. It is very suitable for pregnant women, anemia and other people.

(2) Enhance immunity

In addition to containing a large amount of iron, duck blood also has a high protein content. Eating some duck blood on a regular basis can supplement a large amount of amino acids, promote the synthesis of protein in the body, and enhance one's immunity.

(3) Cleansing toxins

There are some toxins in the human intestines. The toxin content is the highest in the colon and is the most difficult to excrete. Animal blood foods such as duck blood and pig blood have a strong adsorption effect and can promote the excretion of these difficult-to-excrete toxins after consumption.

2. What are the disadvantages of eating duck blood?

(1) Iron poisoning

Duck blood contains the most iron among animal blood. Although iron has a good effect on hematopoiesis and blood replenishment in the human body, if the intake of iron is too much, it will cause hyperirapemia, which is iron poisoning.

(2) Formaldehyde poisoning

Duck blood does not contain formaldehyde, but due to the high price of duck blood, many unscrupulous merchants use inferior blood sources in the production and sales process and use illegal substances in the production process. Formaldehyde is the most commonly used one, which is a carcinogen. Excessive consumption may cause formaldehyde poisoning.

Duck blood contains a lot of protein, so you can't eat too much of it. Excessive protein intake can easily cause protein indigestion, abdominal distension, diarrhea and other discomforts.
