The common dietary iron which is in form of ferric salts
(nonheme iron) comes from vegetable, fruit, and egg. However, it is difficult
to absorb this substance in the intestine. The iron found in meat and fish,
known as heme iron is more easily absorbed.
Many research have shown that vitamin C, most especially the
one from lemon juice can double or triple the rate of absorption of nonheme
iron in the intestine. Many cases of anemia are caused by a lack of iron,
vitamin B12, and folic acid. These three nutrients are what the body needs
to produce red blood cells. The present recommendation is that each meal should
contain 25 mg of vitamin C because of its benefit in aiding the absorption of
iron. This amount of vitamin C is provided by half a lemon. The kind of iron
found in meat is not so much essential to blood formation. Blood develop from
plant-based foods is of a better quality than that from foods of animal origin.
Anemia
The word anemia literally means lack of blood. This word is
used to describe a reduction in erythrocyte (red blood cell) count in the
blood. This is what is responsible for the red colour of the blood and also for
the transportation of oxygen to all the body’s cells. Healthy diet dishes are essential
since foods provide the necessary nutrients for the production of blood cells.
Healthy diet dishes needed for the treatment of anemia must contain the
following nutrients: Iron, protein, folic acid, copper, vitamin B12, B1, B2,
B6, C, and E. Some of the foods that contain these nutrients are Legumes, Soy,
Fruit, Leafy green, Vegetables, Alfalfa, Watercress, Red beet, Spinach,
Avocado, Sunflower seed, Pistacho, Grape, Passion fruit, Apricot, Lemon,
Spirulina, Molasses iron etc. There must be reduction or elimination of the
following foods: Tea, Wheat bran, Alcoholic Beverages and Milk.
Thrombosis
Blood has the tendency to clot spontaneously but when this
clotting occur within the blood vessel a solid clot or thrombus is formed that
blocks the free circulation of blood through the blood vessel. This is what is
referred to as thrombosis and can take place in the arteries or the vein. It
can lead heart attack or stroke. Thrombosis can be caused by the following
factors:
·
Eating diet that is high in saturated fat and
salt.
·
The presence of excess toxic in the blood.
·
Intake of tobacco.
·
Lack of physical exercise.
Healthy diet dishes needed for treatment must contain the
followings: Garlic, Lemon, Orange, Onion, Grape, Fruit, Soy, Olive oil, and
fish oil.
