Women are more likely to suffer from iron deficiency anemia. This is because women lose blood regularly during their monthly menstrual period. So on average, about 20% of women and 50% of pregnant women are anemic.

If the anemia is not very serious, there is no need to take various supplements. The symptoms of anemia can be changed by adjusting the diet.

For example, you must first pay attention to your diet and take a balanced intake of iron-rich foods such as liver, egg yolks, and cereals. If the iron intake in the diet is insufficient or the iron deficiency is severe, iron supplements should be taken immediately. Vitamin C can help absorb iron and help produce heme, so the intake of vitamin C should also be sufficient. Secondly, eat more fresh vegetables. Many vegetables are rich in iron. Such as black fungus, seaweed, nostoc, shepherd's purse, black sesame, lotus root powder, etc.

Spinach: This is the most common vegetable. It is also a famous blood-tonifying food. Spinach is rich in iron and carotene, so spinach can be regarded as an important food among blood-tonifying vegetables. If you don’t like carrots, eat more spinach.

Dried radish: Dried radish is a beneficial vegetable. It is extremely rich in vitamin B and has a high iron content. Therefore, it is the most inconspicuous and cheapest but the best health-preserving food. Its iron content exceeds that of all foods except daylily.

It should be noted that people with anemia should not drink tea. Drinking more tea will only worsen the symptoms of anemia. Because the iron in food enters the digestive tract in the form of trivalent colloidal iron hydroxide. Through the action of gastric juice, high-valent iron is converted into low-valent iron before it can be absorbed. However, tea contains tannic acid, which can easily form insoluble iron tannate after drinking, thus hindering the absorption of iron. Secondly, milk and some drugs that neutralize gastric acid will hinder the absorption of iron, so try not to eat it with iron-containing foods.
