Beets for Anemia

More and more people are becoming anemic, a condition that occurs when the body’s red blood cell count is less than normal.

When you’re anemic, your blood can’t deliver the proper oxygen supply to your organs and tissues. This can affect the functioning of different body organs.

To combat anemia, one of the best foods is beetroots. Beetroots have a significant amount of iron that helps in regeneration of red blood cells. Also, being sweet and full of fiber and vitamin C, beets make a delicious and nutrient-packed addition to any meal.

A 2013 study published in the IOSR Journal of Nursing and Health Science reports that intake of freshly prepared beetroot juice leads to a highly significant improvement in hemoglobin level.
