4 Nigerian Foods That Can Increase Your Red Blood Cells (Anaemia) – Red blood cells (RBCs) are the most abundant cells in your body. They carry oxygen from your lungs to all parts of your body, including the muscles, bones, and organs. However, if you have too many RBCs or too few RBCs, it can be dangerous for you to exercise because they can become damaged or lose their ability to carry oxygen efficiently through your body.
The best way to increase your red blood cells is through eating foods rich in iron and vitamin C together with supplements such as iron or vitamin C tablets or capsules. These foods are also good sources of protein which helps build new red blood cells by helping them grow faster than existing ones at any given time.”

Soybeans
Soybeans are a great source of protein, and they’re rich in iron. This can help prevent anemia, which is when your body doesn’t get enough oxygen to function properly. Soybeans also contain vitamin K, which helps keep your blood flowing smoothly through the body.
Soybeans are a great source of iron—the mineral that helps build red blood cells—but they’re not the only way to get this nutrient into your diet! You can also eat beef or chicken if you’d like more iron than soybeans to provide on their own (or any other foods).
Banana
- Banana is rich in iron and magnesium.
- It is also a good source of potassium.
- It contains vitamin B6, which helps maintain healthy nerve function, as well as vitamin C, which improves immune system function and helps prevent diseases such as cancer or Alzheimer’s disease by reducing inflammation in the brain.*Bananas are very good for your health because they contain a lot of vitamins and minerals that can boost your immune system by fighting infections like colds or flu viruses.*They also contain antioxidants like beta carotene which may reduce risk factors associated with heart disease (such as high cholesterol).
Unripe plantain
Unripe plantain is a great food for those who are looking to increase the number of red blood cells in their body. You can find this vegetable at any local market or grocery store, but it will cost more than other foods on this list because it’s a root vegetable and not something that you’ll find in most people’s fridges or pantries. The reason why its price tag is higher than that of other options is that it has such high levels of iron, vitamin C, vitamin A (beta-carotene), B vitamins, and E – all crucial nutrients for keeping your blood healthy.
Pumpkin seeds
Pumpkin seeds are a rich source of iron, zinc, and magnesium. It’s not just what these nutrients do for your body that makes pumpkin seeds an important food for red blood cell production—it’s also the fact that they have all the other nutrients you need to keep your cells healthy.
Pumpkin seeds contain protein and fiber, which help reduce inflammation in the body. They’re also high in vitamin A (which promotes optimal vision), folate (important for brain development), and B vitamins such as thiamin (a cofactor for many enzymes).
The good news is that pumpkin seeds can be eaten raw or cooked; they’ll still provide all their benefits! If you’d like to try them out but don’t want to make them yourself (and we totally understand), you can find them at most grocery stores or natural health food stores.
