Beta-thalassemia minor is a mild form of anemia that typically does not require treatment. Patients with beta-thalassemia minor should maintain a diverse and balanced diet in daily life, consuming moderately increased amounts of protein-rich foods. Particular attention should be paid to food hygiene. Additionally, engaging in appropriate physical exercise can help strengthen overall physical fitness.
