There are different functions of the blood which cannot be over emphasised and I would be sharing it briefly with us.

Toxic waste found in the body is transported in the body by the blood in the veins to the heart where they are purified. The removal of toxins is important function of the blood.

The blood purified by the heart is transported to the arteries and through the arteries to the whole body. The blood carries nutrients round the body which is a major function of the blood.

The blood serves as messengers or errand boys which carries purr blood, fluid and nutrients in them round the body to various organs.

👉 What kind of food should we eat to get a healthy blood.

---

Eating healthy is important and some food is important for the blood such as;

Fruits:
Fruits aid the blood as they provide vitamin which aid the white blood cells which aid in fighting infections and diseases in the body. Therefore we need lots and loads of fruits.

Vegetables:
The normal blood volume is about 5 liters, the normal blood is built by vegetables as they increase the production of blood by the red blood cells, thereby increasing the overall blood volume in the body too and increasing the chances of a healthy blood.

Avoid Fatty Food:
Cholesterol is fat accumulated in the blood vessels and fatty food such as cheese, beef meat, red meat causes block in the blood vessels which could cause active heat attack or other high blood pressure which could cause stroke and other diseases.
