Anemia occurs when red blood cells are reduced in both quantity and quality due to iron deficiency. This is a dangerous disease, but it can be improved thanks to a scientific diet. Healthline has suggested 7 iron-rich foods that are very good for people with anemia that you can refer to.

Shellfish: Shellfish such as oysters, clams, clams and crab all contain high iron content. This is an extremely good food for people with iron deficiency anemia. Iron in shellfish is heme iron, which helps the body absorb more easily than iron in plants.

Spinach: In addition to being rich in iron, spinach is also a very low-calorie food. 100g of spinach contains 2.7 mg of iron. In addition, it is also rich in vitamin C. This is very important because vitamin C significantly increases the body's absorption of iron.

Animal organs: Although not good when eaten regularly, animal organs have a very high nutritional content. As in the heart, the liver contains a lot of iron. It is very beneficial for people with anemia.

Tofu: 100g of tofu provides 3.4mg of iron. This is a great choice for people with anemia. Tofu is also a source of thiamine and some minerals such as calcium, magnesium, selenium... which are good for health.

Red meat: Meats such as: beef, Lamb, pork... are a rich source of iron. However, red meat is high in cholesterol. Therefore, you should not eat too much but should combine it with other iron-rich foods.

Pumpkin seeds: Pumpkin seeds are high in iron. 28g of pumpkin seeds contain up to 2mg of iron. Therefore, this is a very good seed for people with iron deficiency anemia. It also helps improve sleep and reduce stress.

Dark chocolate: This is a very good food for people with anemia. Studies show that 100g of chocolate has 17mg of iron. This is effective for increasing red blood cell levels. Therefore, this is a food that helps supplement iron that should not be missed.
