Dr. Cheng Yicheng
Iron deficiency anemia is a common type of anemia, particularly prevalent among women of childbearing age and children during growth periods. It is advisable to reduce consumption of cereals such as millet and rice porridge, and avoid dairy products like yogurt and plain milk. Tea should not be consumed, as it contains substances that inhibit iron absorption. Instead, increase intake of fresh fish and meat, which are rich in iron and can help replenish the body's iron stores, thereby alleviating iron deficiency anemia. Regular dietary adjustments are necessary. Attention should be paid to nutritional intake, with emphasis on adequate iron supplementation to prevent and improve anemia.
