Protein[edit | edit source]
Blood is full of protein! Everybody knows protein is healthy for you. Protein made up of amino acids and plays a vital role in repairing and building bones and muscles in our bodies.

Iron is a mineral that's vital to your health. Iron has a role in creating energy from nutrients.[2] Iron is also required for your body to deliver oxygen properly to your body's cells. Iron is also important for digestion. All blood contains lots of iron. Iron is an essential nutrient to maintain your health. [3] Therefore, you should drink blood so that you get enough iron in your diet.
Low in Sugar[edit | edit source]
Eating too much sugar is one of the worst things you can do to your body. It can have many negative effects on your health. like obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, cancer and tooth decay. Blood is low in sugar, because the insulin produced by the person or animal providing the blood keeps the sugar levels low in the blood. Everybody knows too much sugar is unhealthy for you. Blood is a great drink for those people who want to avoid sugar! Unless of course, you drink the blood of diabetics.
Low in Fat[edit | edit source]
Calories from fat tend to be higher per gram of fatty food than calories from protein or carbohydrates. Most high fat foods are lower in nutrition compared to low fat foods. So, you should eat a low-fat diet to maintain a healthy weight. Blood is very low in fat, because fat is generally not released directly into the bloodstream. Everybody knows fat is not healthy for you, so if you want to avoid fat, blood is the drink for you!
Low in Carbohydrates[edit | edit source]
That's right, blood fits well into a keto diet program, because it is very low in carbohydrates. It takes more work to turn fat into energy than it takes to turn carbs into energy. Because of this, a ketogenic diet can help speed up weight loss. Eating a diet high in processed and refined carbohydrates can alter gut bacteria and cause more dramatic blood sugar fluctuations, both of which can have an influence on skin health. Start off your ketogenic diet by drinking blood!
