When choosing a diet, do you keep track of what your body needs? If not, it’s time to revise your attitude towards foods rich in iron, for not having to do with anemia.

Anaemia is the reduced below the normal concentration of hemoglobin (Hb) of blood. It may be a result of problems of nutrition, chronic disease, blood loss, hemolysis, or cancer.

Anaemia is manifested by iron deficiency, indicating the presence of disease in the body and reduces its ability to recover after an illness. Anemia can be identified from analysis of blood.

Signs

Nothing is more common than you feel weak immediately after menstruation, especially if you have an IUD fitted. However, if this fatigue lasts or becomes a permanent condition, must go to the doctor because you might have anemia.

Most often, anemia is associated with long consumption of drugs (aspirin and anti-inflammatory), a large blood loss or pregnancy as the fetus grows in the mother. Against anemia, treatment lasts between four and six months and aims to increase the reserves of iron in the body.

Iron in meat is twice as easy to assimilate than the iron in plant products. However it is better absorbed by the body if it is associated, during the same meal, with animal iron and vitamin C rich foods: raw vegetables, fruits, herbs, parsley, chervil or tarragon.

It is not good to drink tea while eating. In association with chocolate, coffee and wholegrain cereals, even in small amounts, it is one food that reduce iron absorption.
