Peanuts Peanuts are good sources of vitamin E, niacin, folate, protein and manganese. They nourish blood and benefit cardiovascular health. Don’t peel off the red skins when you eat peanuts, though, because a lot of the good stuff is contained there.

Chinese Red Dates There’s a popular Chinese saying: “If you have three dates every day, you’ll remain beautiful until a very old age.” Chinese red dates are known for tonifying blood and calming the mind. Check out my favorite red date tea recipes.

Red Beans Packed with magnesium, iron, potassium, vitamin B3 and antioxidants, red beans are beneficial for kidney, bladder and reproductive health. Because they lower the estrogen level in your body, some researches even go as far as saying that red beans help prevent breast cancer.
