1. Eat more iron-rich foods
On the basis of ensuring sufficient calorie intake, patients should eat more iron-rich foods, such as animal offal (liver, kidney), lean meat (e.g., beef, lean pork, poultry and fish), animal blood (e.g., pig's blood, duck's blood, etc.), green leafy vegetables (e.g., spinach, oilseed rape), black fungus, shiitake mushrooms, mushrooms, purslane, kelp, soybeans and soybean products, etc.
2. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables
Fresh fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamin C, and vitamin C can not only protect the human body gastrointestinal, but also the trivalent ionic iron reduced to divalent iron, thus promoting the absorption of iron. Therefore, you can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, such as kiwi, tomatoes, oranges, green peppers, etc., while supplementing iron.
3. Take iron supplements in time
The dietary supplement approach is only suitable for preventing anemia in daily life. If once you already suffer from anemia, you need to take iron supplements under the guidance of your doctor. When taking iron supplements, you should choose drugs with high safety, low gastrointestinal irritation and high absorption rate, such as Ruixiangxin tablets, and follow the principle of "small amount, long term" to supplement iron.
But there are also several foods that need attention:
No coffee and strong tea
Because of the polyphenols in the coffee, it is easy to form salts that are difficult to decompose with iron, which inhibits the absorption of iron. And the tannins in tea are easy to combine with low-priced iron to form insoluble iron tannins, preventing iron absorption. Therefore, for patients with anemia, coffee and strong tea are not appropriate.
2. Restriction of fats
Consumption of excessive fat, can inhibit the body's hematopoietic function, at the same time, too much fat on the digestion and absorption of patients with anemia also has an impact, so the amount of fat intake should not be more than 70 grams per day, generally about 50 grams appropriate, the best is to consume vegetable fats and oils.
3. You can't drink milk
Generally speaking, you shouldn't drink milk when you are taking iron supplements, because the calcium and phosphorus in milk are easy to combine with iron to produce insoluble iron-containing compounds, which decreases the rate of iron absorption. However, the iron absorption rate of Rick's tablets is high and not affected by dietary factors, so if you don't want to give up milk, you can choose Rick's tablets to supplement iron.
4. should not eat garlic
Because of the pungent flavor of garlic, eat more easily lead to liver and blood deficiency, affecting the absorption of vitamin B, which leads to a decline in the utilization rate of iron absorption, iron excretion increased. In addition, the volatile component of garlic, allicin, can make the blood of red blood cells and hemoglobin lower, long-term consumption will cause anemia.
5. Avoid alkaline food
The human body, such as an alkaline environment, is not conducive to the reduction and absorption of iron utilization. The lack of gastric acid will also affect the freeing and transformation of iron in food. Therefore, anemia patients try to eat less alkaline food, such as steamed bread, sorghum flour.
