Iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anemia are very common global health problems. 25% to 50% of the population suffers from iron deficiency, and among people with anemia, more than half suffer from iron-deficiency anemia. Which groups are prone to anemia? Children: The prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in children aged 0 to 14 in my country is as high as 19.9%. Women: Among Chinese women aged 18 to 49, 72.2% have iron intake below the recommended amount, which puts them at risk of iron deficiency. Vegetarians: The diet of this group of people is mainly plant-based. The absorption rate of plant-based iron is very low, mostly below 10%, which is the main reason why vegetarians are prone to iron deficiency. It is not recommended to use these foods to supplement iron! 1. Red dates: They are mainly non-heme iron, which is not easily absorbed by the human body. 2. Brown sugar: It is non-heme iron and also added sugar. Eating too much can cause tooth decay and obesity. 3. Spinach: It is non-heme iron and is also rich in oxalic acid. 4. Red Amaranth: It is a non-heme iron and is red because it is rich in anthocyanins and betacyanin. Review | Ruan Guangfeng, Deputy Director of Kexin Food and Health Information Exchange Center |
