If you are suffering from anaemia, the most probable reason is that your diet is not balanced. Though there might be other reasons, this seems to be the major one today as our lives are filled with unhealthy lifestyles and junk foods. Iron is an important component in the body that boosts the haemoglobin level and encourages the amount of oxygen that your blood can carry. Here are some fruits to help you combat this disease.

• Pomegranates

Pomegranates are a rich source of iron that can help in the treatment against anaemia. Weakness, fatigue and dizziness will be history with this wonder fruit. You can consume it as a whole or in the form of juice that is quite concentrated.

• Apple

Apple is yet another super food that is rich in a lot of minerals and vitamins. As the famous saying goes, ‘An apple a day keeps the doctor away’. This is indeed true in case of anaemia. The best way to enjoy this fruit is to slice it up and enjoy with a dash of honey for improved taste.

• Dates

Dates are a storehouse of the mineral iron. A diet with few dates a day is known to boost the levels of haemoglobin in the blood to a large extent. Dates can be best enjoyed with a variety of nuts.

• Bananas

This fruit is rich in folic acid that helps the body generate haemoglobin. It is also a source of various other vitamins and minerals that help boost stamina and energy, apart from contributing to mental health.

• Oranges

Bursting with Vitamin C, oranges help the body absorb iron from the foods into the blood stream. Oranges are a popular fruit that are popularly enjoyed in the form of juices or spreads.

• Dry Fruits

Dry fruits are considered to be luxurious foods that find a special place on special occasions. They are of a large variety and can be enjoyed at any time of the day, even on the go. They can help beat anaemia quickly and effectively.

Treating It Early

It is important to treat anaemia as early as possible as long term anaemia can have negative effects including depression and anxiety. A well balanced diet is essential to ensure that you are happy and healthy and not anaemic. Include a fair amount of milk, eggs and dairy products in your diet if you are a vegetarian. Non vegetarians are at a lesser risk as meat contains enough and more vitamins and minerals for a balanced diet.

Changing Your Diet

Add pulses and dals to your diet and try to incorporate fruits in your daily food and cereals too. Plan your diet way ahead of time especially if you live hectic and busy. This will help you eat right without feeling worried or guilty. Keep all junk food at bay as much as possible.

These fruits and dietary changes are sure keep you healthy and make anaemia a distant history.
