Preventing Anemia in Indian Mothers Anemia affects many Indian mothers, especially during pregnancy, due to iron deficiency. Here's how to prevent it and key precautions.
Prevention Tips Balanced Diet: Include iron-rich foods like spinach, lentils, beets, jaggery, and fortified cereals. Add vitamin C sources (citrus fruits) for better absorption.
Supplements: Take iron and folic acid tablets as prescribed by your doctor, starting from early pregnancy.
Regular Checkups: Get hemoglobin tests during antenatal visits to monitor levels.
--Precautions to Take-- Avoid tea or coffee with meals, as they hinder iron absorption. Space out calcium supplements from iron ones. Maintain hygiene to prevent infections that worsen anemia. Consult a doctor before self-medicating.
