Solution

ANEMIA: A condition in which there is a deficiency of red cells or of haemoglobin in the blood, resulting in pallor and weariness.

A person is said to have anemia when the number of red blood cells or the concentration of hemoglobin in the blood is low. Hemoglobin is a protein present inside the red blood cells and it helps in the transportation of oxygen to various parts of the body. Women are more prone to anemia.

There are different varieties of anemia caused by several reasons and are divided into three groups.

• Blood loss anemia

• Blood cell destruction or hemolysis anemia

• Deficient red cell production anemia.

A healthy diet is a prerequisite for any anemic patients. It is vital for you to include foods that are rich in Vitamin B12, folic acid and Vitamin C in your diet apart from most important ingredient iron.
