In the modern rhythm of life, due to the lack of a proper balanced diet, people of almost all ages often experience an anemic condition caused by iron deficiency. The lack of this mineral leads to anemia, cardiovascular diseases, deterioration of the general condition, indigestion, etc. You can often hear advice to eat more apples and pomegranates for iron deficiency anemia. However, these recommendations do not have a stable and scientifically proven basis. Iron in these products contains much less than in legumes. When compiling a diet for iron deficiency anemia, attention should be paid to the fact that minerals are better absorbed from animal products than from plant products. Therefore, it is necessary to consume liver, beef, lamb, chicken, rabbit meat, river fish as iron-containing products.
If iron deficiency is persistent, deep and causes a violationstate of he alth, then only the correct adjustment of nutrition is indispensable here. Iron-containing preparations will come to the rescue. Currently, there are a lot of them: Ferrumlek, M altofer, Aktiferrin, Sorbifer Durules, Hemofer and others.
Iron supplements are usually taken for two months or more before normal blood hemoglobin levels are restored. Iron is better absorbed while eating foods containing ascorbic or lactic acid. This should be taken into account when developing a diet. Iron supplements cause dark stools and can cause constipation or diarrhea. They can also cause a metallic taste in the mouth. Like other drugs, iron-containing preparations should be prescribed by the attending physician on the basis of blood tests and taking into account the individual characteristics of the body. In no case should you treat anemia yourself. Often drugs of this kind are prescribed during pregnancy, since it is during this period that a woman develops iron deficiency anemia due to an increase in blood volume and an increased need for iron.
To maintain normal vital substances, doctors advise taking vitamin and mineral complexes daily.
After all, in order to get the required amount of minerals and vitamins with food, you need to eat daily notone kilogram of various fruits and vegetables, which is basically impossible. It cannot be overlooked that in the current ecological situation and with today's growing methods, products do not contain a sufficient amount of useful substances. Therefore, the intake of vitamin-mineral complexes is indicated for almost the entire adult population of central Russia and the northern regions of the country.
Don't believe the ads and take the rating of multivitamins at face value. The doctor will help you choose the necessary drug and its dosage.
