Question

What is the best diet for iron-deficiency anemia?

Answer

Anemia is a common clinical condition, primarily caused by imbalanced nutrition intake, which can usually be managed through dietary therapy. The effective medicine for iron-deficiency anemia is iron tablets. At the same time, it is recommended to consume foods rich in iron, both animal and plant-based. Animal-based iron-rich foods include lean meat, blood, internal organs, fish, etc.; plant-based iron-rich foods include green, dark green, and orange vegetables. Tea, coffee, milk, and antacids can inhibit iron absorption and should not be taken simultaneously with iron supplements.
