Some healthy habits help to manage anemia and boost overall health:
-
People having anemia require more iron, folic acid and vitamin B12. These are commonly found in foods and supplements.
-
Vitamin C helps the body to absorb more iron from the foods you eat. Thus, taking vitamin C rich foods improves iron levels in the body.
-
Avoid drinking alcohol, smoking, and using illegal drugs.
-
Focus on taking good foods for anemia like fish, meats like pork, beef, lamb, iron rich white bread, legumes and green leafy vegetables.
-
Avoid foods such as cocoa, bread made from highly refined flour, coffee, tea, red wine, pasta products, bran products, and soy proteins while having anemia. These foods bind with iron and prevent the body from absorbing it.
