In TCM, "the concept of blood includes an understanding of the inherent energy within the blood. Blood is created in part from nutrients extracted in the digestive tract as a result of the action of the spleen-pancreas; blood is formed when this extract is combined with the Kidney Essence known as Jing. Much of the body's Jing is stored in the bone marrow [, brain and spinal cord], which correlates with the contemporary Western knowledge that blood is generated in the marrow". As Qi moves the Blood, your Qi provides the energy for blood to circulate throughout the body.
As your Spleen aka digestive system must be able to extract nutrients from your food in sufficient quantity and rate to enable Blood production and other energetic functions of the body. There is some overlap in terms of definitions of TCM organs with those of biomedicine, usually more relating to their physical structure.
However, they're very different in their scope and functions. In terms of the Blood, three TCM organs have the responsibility for making and maintaining the Blood's quality: the Spleen comprising the spleen, pancreas and the intestines , the Liver and the Heart.
The Heart provides the 'Royal' stamp to make blood entering the Heart become 'Blood'. The Heart receives oxygenated blood from the Lungs and sends this out to the whole body.
The Liver is responsible for removing toxins from the blood and so using organic food or food with the least additives and other toxins is best when you need to nourish your Blood.

Well-cooked food such as thick soups or stews are easier on the digestion - the weaker the spleen, the more it benefits from well-cooked meals. The spleen also dislikes being flooded out with liquid so rather drink only a little fluid with meals with the majority of your fluid intake between meals.
It is helpful to separate fruit and sweetened foods from the main meal, eating them instead as between meal snacks to help the spleen to sift and sort while reducing digestive fermentation. Your spleen dislikes food and beverages that are too cold. Your digestive system uses extra energy to heat such food and drink, taking away valuable energy which could be used to digest. If you want to eat or drink something cold, having a cup of warm tea beforehand will help. The spleen is involved in blood production so exercise is vital as without it, poor quality blood results and weight problems could follow.
