Anaemics

  • Anaemics are people with anaemia, a condition characterised by insufficient healthy red blood cells or haemoglobin.
  • Symptoms of anaemia include fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath.
  • Balanced diet helps manage and prevent anaemia, with focus on iron, vitamin B12, and folic acid intake.
  • Good sources of iron are red meat, beans, lentils, dark leafy greens, and fortified cereals.
  • Consuming vitamin C-rich foods like oranges, strawberries, and bell peppers aids in iron absorption.
  • Vitamin B12 is mostly found in animal products, like fish, meat, and dairy.
  • Folic acid is available in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
  • Anaemics should plan a balanced diet with these nutrients to maintain and boost their health.
