A correctly chosen nutritional model in the treatment of anemia!
The most common type of anemia in our country is "iron deficiency anemia". Iron deficiency anemia is more common in children, teenagers, pregnant women and vegetarians. Specialist Dietitian Yeşim İşgüzar listed the nutritional habits and foods to be consumed to prevent anemia, also known as anemia.
- Foods containing iron from animal sources must be included in the diet. The best sources of iron are liver, eggs and red meat. Consuming 100 g (3 portions) of red meat weekly is protective against anemia.
- Legume group foods such as red lentils, chickpeas, green lentils, broad beans and dark green leafy plants such as spinach are good sources of iron. However, the availability of iron in the body is not as high as the meat group.
- In order to increase this availability, these foods should be consumed together with vitamin C-based foods such as broccoli, cauliflower, green or red fresh peppers. Such as consuming spinach with freshly squeezed fruit juice or dried beans with a plate of seasonal salad...
- Substances called tannins found in tea bind iron in the body, reducing its use and causing anemia. For this reason, tea should not be consumed immediately after a meal. Or it would be healthier to add lemon slices to a glass of light tea.
- Since excessive fiber consumption binds iron, it is important that daily fiber consumption does not exceed 25 grams. In adults with severe anemia, the use of whole wheat products should be reduced or completely eliminated from the diet. Phytic acid in bran binds iron. For this reason, when preparing slimming diets for people with anemia, care should be taken in terms of fiber sources.
- The lactic acid found in yoghurt will positively affect iron absorption. Consuming sufficient amounts of yoghurt will be effective in preventing anemia.
- 1 tablespoon of molasses contains 2 mg of iron. Giving 1 tablespoon a day to children in childhood and adolescence will protect against anemia in the future.
- Apart from these, 5-6 dried fruits and 50 grams of bitter bitters should be consumed daily. Chocolate and a portion of dark green leafy vegetables will help prevent anemia.
