紅色食物補心血
根據中醫典籍《黃帝內經》提及的「五色入五臟」理論，自然界的五行：木、火、土、金、水，可以對應身體五個臟腑：肝、心、脾、肺、腎，而青、赤、黃、白、黑就是相應的五種顏色，多吃相關顏色食物，就可調和五臟，達到保健強身之效。
「赤入心」，心主血脈和神志，紅色食物具有益氣補血和促進血液循環的功效，例如紅棗、紅豆、車厘子、牛肉等，全部食物屬性皆偏溫熱，多吃有助滋補氣血，尤其適合手腳冰冷人士，因為體內陽氣不足，未可溫暖四肢，或者血液循環差形成氣滯體質，也會導致手腳冰冷，多食用紅色食物行氣養血，亦能改善面色。
紅棗 — 性溫，有養氣補血、補脾之效，特別適合氣血兩虛及身體偏寒人士食用。氣血旺盛、體質偏燥熱，易有暗瘡、便秘人士不應多吃。
紅豆 — 性平，具補血和胃功效，有助紓緩集中力不夠、氣血虛弱等症狀。適合各體質人士服用。
車厘子 — 性熱，具益氣健脾、祛風濕的功效，適合氣血虛弱、消化不良的人食用，但由於屬性溫熱，食用份量不宜過多，糖尿病患者不宜。
牛肉 — 性溫，有益氣血、補脾胃、強筋骨的作用，適合氣血不足者食用，但由於屬發物，患有濕疹等皮膚病者不宜食用。
