The answer is yes but it depends on the cause.
If anaemia is caused by iron deficiency, eating iron-rich foods can help improve your iron levels over time.
Some nutritious Nigerian foods that contain iron include:
đ„Ź Ugu (fluted pumpkin)
đ„Ź Ewedu
đ„Ź Spinach
đ« Beans
đ„© Liver
đ Lean meat
đ Fish
đ„ Eggs
To help your body absorb iron better, eat these foods together with vitamin C-rich fruits and vegetables such as oranges, guava, tomatoes, or bell peppers.
However, not all anaemia is caused by iron deficiency. Some types have other causes and may require medical evaluation and specific treatment.
If you often feel unusually tired, dizzy, short of breath, or notice persistent symptoms, don't rely on food alone. It's important to see a qualified healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
đ Good nutrition is important, but knowing the cause of your anaemia is even more important.
