Aplastic anemia patients can eat peanuts and red dates, but peanuts and red dates do not have a therapeutic effect on aplastic anemia. Aplastic anemia is a type of bone marrow failure disease, hence patients with aplastic anemia may have symptoms such as anemia, decreased white blood cells, and reduced platelets. The mechanism of the disease is mainly due to abnormal immune functions, and treatment primarily involves the use of immunosuppressants. Although peanuts and red dates are traditionally considered to have blood-enriching effects, this belief is not scientifically based. Many people think red dates can enrich blood, yet they only contain a small amount of iron, which might help patients with iron-deficiency anemia to some extent, but they are ineffective for aplastic anemia.
