What should children with severe anemia eat?

Many children suffer from anemia due to congenital factors, and it may also be caused by the children's living habits and environment. If a child has anemia, the body will have many symptoms, such as fatigue. Some children are very tired all day long. If the child is studying, such symptoms will also affect the child's study and cause trouble for the child's study. So what should children eat when they are severely anemic?

1. Suitable food:

Eat more iron-rich foods, mainly including liver, kidney, heart, gastrointestinal tract, kelp, seaweed, soybean, spinach, celery, rapeseed, tomato, apricot, date, orange, etc. are rich in iron. People also often use longan meat, jujube, and peanuts as blood tonic foods. In order to promote the absorption of iron, you can also eat some acidic foods, such as tomatoes, sour dates, pickled cucumbers, sauerkraut, etc. Vitamin C can help the absorption of iron and also help produce hemoglobin, so the intake of vitamin C must be sufficient.

2. What foods should you avoid if you have anemia?

People with anemia should not drink tea. Drinking more tea will only aggravate the symptoms of anemia. Because the iron in food enters the digestive tract in the form of trivalent colloidal ferric hydroxide. Through the action of gastric juice, high-valent iron is converted into low-valent iron before it can be absorbed. However, tea contains tannic acid, which easily forms insoluble tannic acid iron after drinking, thus hindering the absorption of iron. Secondly, milk and some drugs that neutralize stomach acid will hinder the absorption of iron, so try not to consume them with iron-containing foods.
