Endocrinologist Ekaterina Yang answered which foods should be included in the diet to combat anemia.
Anemia is a condition characterized by too low a level of red blood cells or low hemoglobin, as a result of which organs and tissues do not receive enough oxygen. Endocrinologist Yang spoke on her Telegram channel about products to combat this condition.
The specialist noted that offal is among the best products to combat anemia. In particular, Yang advised eating pork and beef liver, beef tongue.
In addition, to prevent this condition, it is useful to eat rabbit, turkey, veal, beef – all these products are rich in protein necessary for the synthesis of ferritin – a protein that reflects the level of iron reserves in the body and is a marker of iron deficiency. It is with a lack of iron that the development of anemia is most often associated. In order for iron to penetrate the body's cells more effectively, you should include dark leafy greens rich in non-heme iron in your diet, as well as different types of cabbage, shared Ekaterina Yang. Cabbage is rich in antioxidants and vitamin C – elements that improve the absorption of iron.
Earlier, the MedikForum.ru portal wrote that offal contains more useful compounds than meat.
