आयरन (Iron) की कमी के चलते शरीर में लाल रक्त कोशिकाओं में कमी आने लगती है. इससे हीमोग्लोबिन (Hemoglobin) का स्तर गिरने लगता है और शरीर में ऑक्सीजन का संचारण सही तरीके से नहीं हो पाता. एनीमिया से बचाव के लिए डाइट (Anemia Diet) में ये चीजें शामिल करें।

ऑरेंज जूस

ऑरेंज जूस पीने से भी एनीमिया का खतरा कम होता है. संतरे में विटामिन बी6 होता है, जो हमारे शरीर में हीमोग्लोबिन का निर्माण तेज कर देता है. इसका जूस कोशिकाओं को नष्ट होने से बचाता है.

दही 

एक स्टडी के मुताबिक, दही के सेवन से एनीमिया का खतरा कम होता है. एनीमिया की समस्या को दूर करने के लिए दही और हल्दी का सेवन भी कर सकते हैं.

पालक

पालक का सेवन भी आपको एनीमिया से बचाएगा. इसमें प्रोटीन, आयरन, विटामिन, मिनरल्स की पर्याप्त मात्रा होती है जो आपको बीमारियों से बचाता है.

हरी मटर

हरी मटर पोषक तत्वों से भरपूर होती है. इससे शरीर में आयरन की कमी को दूर करने में मदद मिलेगी. शरीर में आयरन की पूर्ति करके इसका सेवन एनीमिया के खतरे को कम करता है.

कद्दू के बीज

कद्दू के बीज पौष्टिक तत्वों का पावर हाउस होते हैं. एनीमिया की समस्या शरीर में लाल रक्त कोशिकाओं की कमी के कारण होती है. कद्दू के बीजों में भरपूर मात्रा में आयरन होता है जो खून की कमी को पूरा करता है और एनीमिया से बचाता है.कद्दू के बीज में फोलेट भी पाया जाता है जो लाल रक्त कोशिकाओं को बढ़ाने में मदद करता है.

एक स्टडी के मुताबिक, दही के सेवन से एनीमिया का खतरा कम होता है। एनीमिया की समस्या को दूर करने के लिए दही और हल्दी का सेवन भी कर सकते हैं. पालक का सेवन भी आपको एनीमिया से बचाएगा. इसमें प्रोटीन, आयरन, विटामिन, मिनरल्स की पर्याप्त मात्रा होती है जो आपको बीमारियों से बचाता है।
