We all know that anemia is a condition that occurs when a compound called hemoglobin in the blood is depleted. You may not know that iron, B12, folic acid and protein are important ingredients in the diet to make hemoglobin. So if your body does not get these components properly, you are more likely to suffer from anemia.

Iron-rich foods include selected greens, tampons, spinach, gotu kola, beans, and art. Folic acid is abundant in plant foods. Your body can easily get this vitamin by eating fresh Gotukola, Mukunuwenna and Katurumurunga sambols. Vitamin B12 can be obtained from animal foods such as meat, fish, milk and eggs.

If you live a busy life and are content with just a small breakfast, you need to get used to a balanced diet. Also, do not drink tea, coffee, drink, smoke or eat betel nut immediately after eating. Pregnant and lactating mothers should avoid short meals and adopt a nutritious diet to avoid this condition.

Do not eat green fruits after a main meal, drink lime and orange juice containing vitamin C, and do not over-wash and overcook vegetables when cooking. Also, fruits and vegetables should not be stored for long periods of time.

Eating natural fresh fruits and vegetables is very good for your health. It is also important that they were green fruits and vegetables.

Monarakudumbiya (Vernonia Cinerea), Hathawariya (Asparagus Racemosus), Henbowitiya porridge are good for this. Also, vegetables should not be cooked too often when preparing curries for anemic patients.

So, you too can use these short methods to protect yourself from anemia.
