are you ANEMIC?? how do you go over that illness?

They say that I have anemia but I only suffer from it during certain times a month. I was told by a doctor to drink grape juice at least two weeks in advance. This has really helped me.

I've only recently become anemic and plan to get better as soon as possible. The only way to get better is to increase your iron levels- ideally through your diet though supplements will be needed if you are very low in iron. A natural source of iron and plenty of other nutrients is Blackstrap Molasses which is available at Holland & Barratt. I would say eat a healthy balanced diet with plenty of sources of iron, for example green vegetables, dried fruits, egg, beans and pulses. To aid absorption of iron drink orange juice when you take supplements or with your meal. Vitamin C helps your body absorb more iron. Milk, tea and coffee on the other hand contain tannins and prevent absorption of iron so limit these when you can. Also making sure you get plenty of sleep to avoid getting too tired, and letting your body replenish itself. Is there anything that helps your anemia?

hi,friend,till now i don't have any anemic problem.My father was a great dietican,he fed us very good menu,literally combination of all nitrients,vitamines...

I would say I'm anemic. I get the sleep that the body needs so that I won't collapse due to this illness. I also try to eat a lot of greens. THough I don't really experience the symptoms written above, I'm taking precautions. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, that is.

You have rightly said it here that Anaemia is the deficiency of red blood cells. It's the most common disorder of the blood is true. Red blood cells contain haemoglobin, a red pigment which gives blood its colour. The job of haemoglobin is to carry oxygen around the body. When red blood cells and therefore haemoglobin are low the blood fails to supply the body's tissues with sufficient amounts of oxygen. As your lungs and heart will then have to work harder to get oxygen into the blood, symptoms of anaemia, such as difficulty in breathing will begin to develop. Anaemia mainly affects women during pregnancy or women who suffer with heavy periods. The most common type of anaemia is iron deficiency anaemia, which basically means the body is running low on iron. The body needs iron to successfully produce haemoglobin. The main reason why people may have a shortage of iron is because the body is losing blood faster than the body can remake it. This can be caused by gastritis, piles, stomach cancer, ulcers or bowel cancer. In women the most common reason for iron deficiency is menstrual bleeding (periods). Another possible reason for a shortage of iron is diet, which is low in iron. Good sources of iron include fruit, dark green vegetables, wholemeal bread, fortified breakfast cereals, beans and meat. This keeps your iron level well in contol. Few other types of anaemia are.. Vitamin B12 deficiency anaemia. Folic Acid deficiency. Wish you a good health soon.

If you are anemic,you have to change your eating habits.Food having more iron,like green leafy veges and fruits,sprouted grains,dry fruits like date,are concentrated with iron,you can eat that.You can do yoga and pranayams that will cure you from anemia

Anemia, from what I have been told by several physicians, is caused by a deficiency in iron in the blood. You can take an iron supplement for this. But the best way to get added iron in your diet is naturally, by eating foods like red meat, spinach, okra, grapes, and other foods rich in iron.
