CHOOSE IRON RICH FOOD TO FIGHT ANEMIA
Anemia happens when the body lacks enough healthy red blood cells. As a result, the blood becomes incapable of carrying an adequate amount of oxygen. Iron is an important mineral that helps maintain healthy blood. A lack of iron in blood is called Iron-Deficiency Anemia, most common form of Anemia.
Iron from food comes in two forms: heme and non-heme. Heme is found only in animal flesh like meat, poultry, and seafood. Non-heme iron is mostly found in plant foods like whole grains, nuts, seeds, legumes, and leafy greens.
The body absorbs two to three times more iron from animal sources than from plants.
Heme iron is easier to absorb by the body than non-heme iron. The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for iron is 10 milligrams (mg) for men and 12 mg for women. Most require 150 mg to 200 mg of elemental iron daily.
Some of the best animal sources of iron are:
- Meat
- Poultry
- Fish
- Seafood
Some of the best plant sources of iron are:
- Beans Peas and lentils
- Sweet potatoes
- Cashews, Raisins, Apricot
- Dark green leafy vegetables such as spinach, broccoli
- Fortified breakfast cereals
- Whole-grain and enriched breads
- Fruits: Pomegranate, Banana, Apple, Dried Plums, Orange, Peach
The best diet plan for anemia treatment includes foods rich in iron and other vitamins essential to hemoglobin and red blood cell production. It should also include foods that help body absorb iron better.
When following a diet plan for anemia, following guidelines may be used:
- Don’t eat foods or beverages that block iron absorption.These include excessive intake of coffee or tea, eggs, foods high in oxalates, and foods high in calcium.
- Eat iron-rich foods along with vitamin C-rich foods, such as oranges, tomatoes, or strawberries, to improve iron absorption.
- Add foods rich in folate and vitamin B-12to support red blood cell production.
