一個美國家庭的親身的體驗…
在家裡，我的媽媽、妹妹和我都有容易貧血的傾向（當然並不嚴重）。對我們來說，大約90/60的低血壓仍然被視為正常，所以，我們往往總是每天服用鐵補充劑來預防缺鐵性貧血。
隨著明日葉的出現，我們瞭解到明日葉中含有各種各樣的活性化合物，其中的一種對解決貧血傾向是有效的。
因此，當每天早晨我們喝了一杯又一杯咖啡的時候，我們開始決定換一種方式。取代熱巧克力、牛奶或橙汁等作為提神的飲料，我們選用明日葉茶。準備一杯明日葉茶是很簡單的，我們輕輕地將明日葉的葉子洗淨，然後放入水中煮沸10~15分鐘，便可以飲用了。
每周大約飲用三次明日葉茶，這幫助我們的血壓變得「更正常」了。大約一個月後，從我們第一次喝明日葉茶到現在，我的血壓已經變成100/80了。
我的身體獲得了充足的氧氣，讓我感覺不那麼疲憊了。氧氣被帶到了我身體里的器官和組織中，並且，擁有了一個很好數量的紅細胞，它們在我的身體系統里循環。對我來說，如果這不算好消息的話，我也不知道真正的好消息是什麼了。
明日葉的力量：好的令人難以置信？
在中國和日本在整個歷史，明日葉已經吸引了很多人的注意。明日葉能夠治癒貧血，因為它富含維生素B12和葉綠素。
沒有錯，葉綠素是在植物上的綠色的色素，我們已經在中學的科學課有所學習，它（葉綠素）從太陽中收集和儲存能力。
食用富含葉綠素的食物，有助於我們的身體構建和促進生成新的紅細胞（血紅蛋白），而紅細胞對我們的心臟很有好處。更進一步講，當我們的身體擁有足夠的純化血紅細胞，它們攜帶更多的氧氣到達血液的組織中。
明日葉的葉子和莖中有一種黃色的樹液，我們稱它為查尓酮（英文chalcones），它能抑制低密度脂蛋白膽固醇的氧化，打斷動脈硬化的第一步。同時，查尓酮能夠清除血液中的毒素、防止血液粘稠，所以血液最終可以更容易地流動。

Fighting Against Anemia ~ How Medicinal Plant Ashitaba Solves Your Anemic Tendencies
In the family, my mom, my sister and I are all prone to anemic tendencies (though not that serious). Having low blood pressure (about 90/60) is still considered normal for us. So we tend to always take iron supplements every day to prevent iron-deficient anemia. With the ashitaba phenomenon, we have been informed that one of the various active compounds in ashitaba is effective in solving anemic tendencies.
So when a morning is spent refilling cups of coffee, we turn the other way around. Instead of hot chocolate, milk or orange juice as a pick-me-up, we grab ashitaba tea. Preparing ashitaba tea is really simple. We just blanch the leaves lightly and boil them in water for about 10-15 minutes before drinking.
Taking ashitaba tea about three times a week has helped our blood pressure become 「more normal.」 After about a month since the first time we took ashitaba to date, my rate has been 100/80. My body gets enough oxygen, making me feel less tired. Oxygen is also carried to my organs and tissues and there are a good number of red blood cells circulating in my system. If that isn’t good news, I don’t know what is.
Power of Ashitaba Leaves: Too Good to be True?
Throughout the history in China and Japan, Ashitaba leaves have attracted many people’s attention. The tomorrow plant treats anemia as it is rich in B12 and chlorophyll. Yes, chlorophyll is the green pigment on plants that we learned about in middle school Science. It collects and stores energy from the sun.
Consuming food with chlorophyll helps our body build and stimulate new red blood cells (hemoglobin) which is good for our heart. Furthermore, when our body achieves sufficient purified red blood cells, they carry more oxygen to the blood’s tissues.
Ashitaba leaves and stem have this yellow sap called chalcones, which inhibit the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, interrupting the first step of arteriosclerosis. Taking chalcones cleans toxins in our blood and prevents the blood from being sticky, so that it can flow more easily.
