Anemia is a common condition that primarily affects women and young children, but men in certain demographics are also susceptible. The condition is characterized by an abnormally low amount of red blood cells or hemoglobin, which are responsible for delivering oxygen to the organs. According to a study published in Lancet Haematology, nearly two billion people suffered from anemia worldwide in 2021, with a large proportion of those cases being severe enough to cause disability.
Although many factors can lead to the development of anemia, Valleant’s guide says that one of the most common causes is iron deficiency. Individuals with low blood iron stores can therefore combat or reverse their condition by incorporating foods rich in iron and synergistic vitamins and minerals into their diet.
Red meat, poultry, seafood, and other animal products are among the richest sources of heme iron, which is easy for the body to absorb. Individuals can also obtain non-heme iron from plant-based sources such as spinach, legumes, or seeds; however, Valleant notes that this form of iron is much harder for the body to absorb. For this reason, its guide recommends that readers following a vegan or vegetarian diet consume foods high in vitamin C to enhance absorption.
Two other nutrients of note are folate, or vitamin B9, and vitamin B12, as they both play a vital role in the synthesis of red blood cells. Because a deficiency in either of these vitamins can also lead to anemia, Valleant’s guide advises readers to ensure they are consuming adequate amounts of leafy greens, legumes, or avocados for folate, along with meat, eggs, dairy products, or fortified plant-based milks for vitamin B12.
Finally, some minerals and substances, notably calcium and compounds found in tea and coffee, can inhibit iron absorption. Individuals who are attempting to increase their iron levels should therefore consider eating calcium-rich foods or drinking the aforementioned beverages several hours apart from their iron-rich meals.
