For patients with iron deficiency anemia caused by a lack of intake of nutrients, you can meet a nutritional specialist. They can assist in determining the menu foods rich in iron intake.

Increase Your Intake Of Iron From Food Menu

Good food, menu changes the type and amount, is very important in handling for anemia. Although rice is included in our staple food, we need to consume nutrients from other types of food. We can reduce the rate of rice and add more food rich in iron such as spinach, beefand chicken liver.

Pregnant women are advised to increase the intake of iron substances. The baby in the womb needs a supply of blood and iron. The addition of iron can come from food or supplements to supplement iron. Check with your obstetrician about the dosage and drug usage rules supplements that you can consume.

Foods rich in vitamin C also helps the absorption of iron. Foods rich in vitamin C are broccoli, oranges, kiwi, tomatoes and red peppers.

The following list of foods with a good source of iron:
  • Chicken livers and beef liver.
  • Legumes like black beans, green beans, red beans.
  • Tofu and tempe.
  • Seafood or oysters, such as the nautical boga clams and fish.
  • Green vegetables such as spinach and broccoli.
  • Red meat without fat.
  • Dried fruit such as raisins and apricots.
Look for foods fortified or already equipped with iron. In a rare fight iron deficiency, the Government has encouraged the preparation of rice and wheat that the iron content of the substances is higher.

Consuming Iron-Enhancer Supplements

Iron supplement supplements the most frequently recommended is iron sulfate. This supplement tablet-shaped and is usually taken two to three times a day. For heart burn sufferers, this iron Enhancer supplement has to be consumed in two hours before or after taking any medication four hours antasida. This is because the drug can inhibit the antasida absorption of iron.

In some parts of Indonesia, an iron supplement supplements provided by the Government free of charge to all expectant mothers.

Food and drugs reducing barrier to absorption of Iron

The habits of people who love Indonesia consumes tea-based drinks have also become one of the factors of the number of cases of anemia in Indonesia. Tea contains substances that can inhibit the absorption of iron in the human body. The following is a list of food and drink that could inhibit absorption of iron:
  • Foods with high calcium content such as milk and yogurt
  • Basil leaves
  • Celery leaves
  • Mint leaves
  • Brown
  • Coffee
  • Fruit-berries such as strawberries and blueberry
  • Galip
There are several drugs that can interfere with absorption of iron by the body such as proton pump inhibitors and antasida (PPI) which treat heartburn and digestive system.

Prevent peptic ulcers due to the anti-inflammatory drugs of Non-steroid (OAINS)

Those who are consuming the OAINS regularly in the long run need to be aware of the occurrence of side effects of peptic ulcers. Peptic ulcers occur when erosion occurs or wound on a layer of the wall of the stomach. These sores can bleeds gradually so that eventually the body's red blood cell deficiency and iron supplies. After some time,if the ulcer is left no matter, anemia occurs. There fore, those who are consuming the OAINS it is recommended to consume it together with food, reduce the consumption of alcohol and smoking, as well as taking any medication antasida. All of this aims to prevent the formation of peptic ulcers.

Treat The Infection With Hookworms

Anemia due to infection with hookworms occurs because the worm parasite consumes your blood. Besides anemia, hookworms can also cause complications such as malanutrisi so that it inhibits the growth in children. In pregnant women, hookworm scan lead to premature birth and low birth weight infants.

Treatment of hookworms aims to eliminate existing infections, improve nutrition, and treat the complications of anemia. The doctor will prescribe a drug that destroys parasitic worms, such as albendazole and mebendazole. A second drug that is used to resolve an infection of worms. Treatment is usually given about one to three days.

Anemia sufferers will be given an extra boost iron supplement recipes.

Treating Thalassemia

Thalassaemia is a genetic disease or offspring that results in the sufferer is experiencing a shortage of hemoglobin and red blood cells. Indonesia is also included in the Group of countries with a high Thalassemia sufferers.

Thalassemia sufferers need to control the level of blood and haemoglobin to keep sustained anemia does not occur. The addition of supplements and medications will be recommended if indeed the case of anemia.

Iron Deficiency Anemia Complications

In Indonesia, anemia is a chronic or long-term illness. The complete lack of nutrients causes the occurrence of chronic anemia and consequently complications that happen quite alarming.

On Young Children

Sustainable anemia in children would be very influential in their lives in the future. The most feared complication is a process of growth and development of those whoobstructed. Without sufficient nutrients and oxygen, the development of mental,intellectual and cognitive abilities of children are stunted. The energy and ability of the child to physical activity is also reduced if being anemic. In the end, all of this could be bad on their social and emotional function. Behavior and academic performance of children more retarded than children age bracket who are not anemic.

In addition, the anemia also caused the decline of the immune defence. Children who suffer from anemia also became vulnerable to developing a wide range of infections.

In Pregnant Women

Iron deficiency anemia in pregnant women is very related to maternal mortality.Anemia in pregnant women ought to be wary. Complications experienced by pregnantwomen could be catastrophic, both on the mother or janinnya. Anemia in pregnant women can lead to:
  • Baby growth stunted.
  • The birth of a premature baby.
  • Babies born with low weight.
  • The baby is becoming more vulnerable to developing an infection at birth.
  • The death of a baby in the womb can occur in conditions of severe anemia.

In Adults

Iron deficiency anemia also have harmful effects in adults if allowed to continue.People suffering from anemia is easy to feel tired and lacking energy. This means the level of productivity is reduced. People are also more susceptible to diseases caused by a weakened immune system.

Anemia can lead to protracted damage to various internal organs such as the kidneys, heart and lungs. Heart disease also exacerbated if untreated anemia. In severe cases,heart failure can occur.
