Question
A university student experiences dizziness and pale lips after exercising and is diagnosed with anemia by an expert. If the test results show anemia, how should one handle it?
Answer
Firstly, it is recommended to undergo a comprehensive blood test to rule out other factors that may be related to inflammation. For mild anemia, dietary adjustments and the early supplementation of iron are advised. For moderate to severe anemia, if iron deficiency is severe, iron supplements must be used to correct the anemia. In terms of dietary adjustments, it is suggested to consume more iron-rich foods such as red meat, animal liver, blood products, and fungi, and to increase the intake of vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C to promote iron absorption. Additionally, it is recommended to participate in physical activities regularly to strengthen the body’s constitution.
