Anemic patients may experience pale complexion, dizziness, fatigue, palpitations, chest tightness, tinnitus, insomnia, forgetfulness, and significant changes in mental state and emotions. At the same time, their physical endurance declines, and even mild physical activity can trigger symptoms such as palpitations and chest discomfort. It is recommended to consume more foods rich in animal organs, as well as protein- and iron-rich foods such as spinach, lean meat, milk, and fish, along with vitamin-rich foods like carrots, broccoli, and tomatoes. It is advisable to eliminate factors in the diet that inhibit iron absorption. Try to reduce intake of fruits and vegetables high in tannins and alkaline foods, while moderately increasing consumption of trace-nutrient foods such as kelp and almonds to promote iron absorption and utilization.
