ANEMIA - Prevention and treatment of anemia






Simple adjustments to your lifestyle and eating habits 
may help prevent and treat anemia.

Prevention and treatment of anemia
 
In order to prevent anemia, it is important to:
  • Eat a balanced healthy diet rich in iron.
  • Reduce tea and coffee intake as they make it harder for your body to absorb iron.
  • Increase vitamin C intake as it may help iron absorption.

Depending on the type and severity of anemia, your doctor may suggest the following treatments:
  • Iron or vitamin supplements
  • Changing medication dosages
  • Surgery to prevent abnormal bleeding (e.g. heavy periods)
  • Surgery to remove the spleen (in relevant cases)
