Diet Therapy for Anemia
Diet is of utmost importance in the treatment of anaemia.
Refined foods like white bread, polished rice, sugar, and
desserts rob the body of its much-needed iron. Iron should
preferably be taken in its natural organic form in food. The
emphasis in the diet should be on raw vegetables and fresh
fruits which are rich in iron,
The patient should commence a therapeutic treatment with
an exclusive fruit diet for five days, taking three meals a day
of fresh juicy fruits. This may be followed by a fruit and milk
diet for about fifteen days. In this regimen, the frequency of
meals should be exactly the same as for the earlier all-fruit
diet Thereafter, the patient may gradually embark upon a
well-balanced diet, consisting of seeds, nuts, grains,
vegetables, and fruits.
