- Carbonated drinks, which children consume, these days; are high on sugar, but low in iron content. In short, nothing of them supply, sufficient iron supply; in fact contain very less iron.
Therefore, if you
yourself do not want to be anemic or have any family member or children at
home, who have anemia; then make
habit of, consuming diet; specially charted out, by medical researchers, for anemic
patients. So, here comes, diet for anemic
patient; which is told below, in step by step format-
- Number 1 food item, which anemic patients, must have in their diet; is green vegetables, if they are leafy one, then it’s much better.
- 2nd food item, which comes at 2nd position in diet; for anemic patients, is honey.
- Next groundnut, pistachio, apricot and raisins; they are also iron rich.
- Among fruits, pomegranate and dates are good source of iron.
- Orange and lemon, no doubt; not contain that much iron, which green leafy vegetables do; but vitamin C found in them; help in absorption of iron.
