Breakfast

• Start your day with juices of citrus fruits like oranges, limes, grapefruit and tangerines. Include corn cakes or cakes made of buckwheat with a lot of butter. If you have a sweet tooth, use honey. You also could include figs, rhubarb, prunes and stewed apples along with a glass of milk in your breakfast meal plan.
  
  

Lunch

• An ideal lunch plan that will promote blood building in the body would include a whole wheat toasted sandwich with a filling of mutton, chicken, lamb or veal. Iron in milk being an important ingredient of blood, try to have a few milk cakes or some toast with milk. For other sources of blood building minerals you can try stewed vegetables or vegetable juices along with meat broths.
  
  

Dinner

• The last meal of the day should definitely include animal liver and egg yolks. You also could have grits with gravy that you could replace with rice and gravy if you want. Instead of rice, any other source of carbohydrates, such as pasta or tortilla will do, too. Another important feature of the dinner plan would be green leafy vegetables such as cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, spinach or beans. Have raw, steamed, boiled or cooked in any manner that does not use too much oil, these vegetables can be important sources of sulphur, iron and silicon---all essential ingredients for the making of blood in the body. Carrots, tomatoes, peppers and celery are good for the same reason. You could have fish such as cod fish, cat fish and trout and sea foods like clams, oysters or calamari for dinner as well.
