Iron deficiency anaemia is a condition where iron is lacking in the body leads to a decrease in the number of RBC.
Iron is used to produce RBC, which help stock and carry oxygen in the blood. If you have fewer red blood cells than is normal, your organs and tissues won't get as much oxygen they need.
A lack of iron in your diet is thought to be contributing to your iron deficiency anaemia, your GP will tell you how to up your intake.
Iron-rich foods include:
dark-green leafy vegetables, such as watercress and curly kale,iron-fortified cereals or bread,brown rice ,pulses and beans ,nuts and seeds
white and red meat,fish,tofu,eggs,dried fruit, such as dried apricots, prunes and raisins
Your diet should include foods from all the major food groups to ensure it's healthy and balanced. In particular, food and drink containing vitamin C helps your body to absorb iron.
However, consuming large amounts of some foods and drinks, as well as certain medicines, may make the iron absorption hard. These include:
Tea and coffee
Calcium – found in dairy products, such as milk
Antacids and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) – medications used to relieve indigestion
Wholegrain cereals – although wholegrains are a good source of iron themselves, they contain phytic acid, which can stop your body absorbing iron from other food
