Treatment of iron deficiency anemia with drugs has not been canceled, and coupled with proper nutrition, it will restore the body much faster.
For a restorative diet, make a diet of foods rich in not only iron and its salts, it is necessary to nourish the body and other important trace elements, substances and vitamins.
When choosing the optimal diet, consult your doctor. This is more important if you have other diseases.
First of all, in the diet of a patient with iron deficiency anemia, it is necessary to increase the amount of beef. This is due to the fact that the iron necessary for the human body is best assimilated in the form of a heme. Hem is the blood contained in the muscle fibers.
Be sure to eat unrefined beef liver, red grapes, egg yolks, dog rose, sea cabbage, sea buckthorn. In these products, in addition to iron contains vitamin B12. The lack of this vitamin is the cause of a certain type of anemia.
For better absorption of iron by the body, ensure that sufficient amounts of vitamin C and copper are supplied with food. Products containing copper: cherry, apricots, dried figs, green vegetables. Very recommended brown seaweed, sea kale.
From cereals, give preference to buckwheat. It is extremely useful in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia. It is best to brew for the night in a thermos and eat in the morning, adding oil and greens. Also include in the diet bran. Whole-grain foods are most suitable for such a diet, but these products contain phytates - substances that interfere with the absorption of iron. Therefore, try to eat them separately from protein foods.
Tannin, contained in tea, coffee, cocoa and in drinks containing cola, also prevents the iron from fully digesting. Use instead of them, fruit drinks, compotes, herbal teas, jelly, juices.
A correct and effective diet for iron deficiency anemia will be even more useful when adding beekeeping products. Or rather, honey, pollen and perg. Honey needs dark varieties: meadow, forest, mountain. Eat up to 100 grams daily (3 tablespoons). Pollen and pergum stimulate hemopoiesis perfectly, take 2-5 teaspoons daily, depending on the general condition of the patient.
In summer, pay more attention to fresh vegetables, fruits, herbs, berries. Strawberries, blueberries, grapes, viburnum, sea buckthorn, strawberries, blackberries, as well as vitamin C-rich black currant, wild rose and cranberries play a very active role in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia, as well as apples "antonovka", pears, peaches and apricots.
Stick to the right cooking principles. Lower the products into boiling water and cook under a tightly closed lid. Thus, you contribute to the preservation of the greatest amount of nutrients and vitamins. Vegetables and greens cut directly before use. Dishes are better to eat freshly prepared, do not store them for a long time.
Minimize or completely eliminate from the diet products that have undergone multilevel processing, refined products and semi-finished products. They practically do not contain useful components.
Use seasonings, as they stimulate the juiciness in the stomach. This promotes better digestion and assimilation of food.
