New Delhi, June 2 (IANS). Amidst the changing lifestyle and increasing fast food habits, unhealthy eating habits are seriously affecting people’s health. These carelessness towards oneself are also becoming the cause of health problems like anemia.
Health experts say that if the body does not get the necessary nutrients, problems like anemia can arise. This is a condition in which the body does not make enough healthy red blood cells, which can lead to weakness, fatigue, and other health problems.
According to the National Health Mission (NHM), one of the major causes of anemia is lack of nutritious diet. If there is lack of iron, protein, vitamins and other essential nutrients in the daily diet, then anemia starts occurring in the body. This is why balanced and nutrition-rich food is considered the foundation of a healthy life.
Health experts believe that merely filling the stomach is not enough, but it is equally important for the food to be nutritious. Junk food, excessive fried food and unhealthy diet can harm health in the long run. In such a situation, it is very important to make balanced and nutritious food a part of your daily routine. Eating right not only prevents problems like anemia, but also plays an important role in keeping the body healthy, active and energetic.
Health experts say that to prevent anemia, people should include nutrient-rich foods in their daily plate. Green leafy vegetables like spinach, fenugreek and mustard are good sources of iron. Apart from this, pulses, eggs and non-vegetarian food provide essential protein and iron to the body, which play an important role in the process of blood formation.
Consumption of seasonal fruits is also considered helpful in preventing anemia. The vitamins and minerals present in fruits help in increasing the body’s immunity as well as removing nutritional deficiencies. At the same time, nuts and seeds, such as almonds, walnuts and sesame, provide essential nutrients to the body.
Dairy products like milk and curd are also an important part of a balanced diet. With their regular consumption, the body gets calcium and other essential nutrients. Along with this, by including whole grains and coarse grains in the food, the body gets adequate energy and fiber.
