TREATING ANEMIA WITH NATURAL HOME REMEDIES

This blog is for my friend Gidi, who is (I assume) currently experiencing anemia from the lack of sleep and a whole lot of stress.

Often times, anemia is considered a none-threatening illness, the body usually makes its own adjustments and cope with it. There are many types of anemia, the most common being iron-deficiency anemia, and it usually appears when you are under a stressful situation, is currently pregnant, or for the girls, having their monthly period.
Iron-deficiency anemia is a condition that develops when blood is deficient in the healthy red blood cells, which transport oxygen to the organs of our body. If there is less count of red blood cells in the hemoglobin, then the body is not getting enough iron.
Some of the natural home remedies I have come across useful are, drinking a cup of beetroot juice and apple juice mixed with either sugar or honey once a day. Eating a lot of green leafy vegetables helps increase iron, as well as taking honey helps in increasing the hemoglobin in the blood and it is also rich in iron, copper and manganese. Consume a ripe banana with 1 tbsp of honey twice a day.
Surprisingly, I found out that you should try cooking in iron pots; it is proven that it can significantly increase the amount of iron in your food. Eat a diet rich in cereals, rice, dairy products{milk, yogurt, cheese}, vegetables, fruits, meat, poultry and fish, eggs and nuts as this has been proven to help the immune system.
I hope this healthy and natural tip can help you~
