According to the World Health Organization, approximately 1.62 billion people are affected by anemia worldwide. It occurs when the body lacks enough healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin to transport sufficient oxygen to its tissues leading to symptoms like fatigue, weakness, headaches, and shortness of breath.

As Valleant explains, anemia is classified into various types, with the most common stemming from an iron-deficiency, caused by poor diet, pregnancy, blood loss, and malabsorption. Vitamin deficiency anemia results from insufficient B12 or folate, while chronic disease anemia stems from kidney disease, cancer, and other long-term conditions. Other types include aplastic anemia, where the bone marrow fails to produce enough red blood cells; hemolytic anemia, where red blood cells are destroyed faster than they can be made; and sickle cell anemia, caused by a mutation in the hemoglobin gene.

“How To Cure Anemia” goes on to outline the diagnostic process, including complete blood count testing and the medical approaches to restoring balance. These span iron and vitamin replenishment, erythropoiesis-stimulating agents to boost red blood cell production, bone marrow therapy, and blood transfusions for severe cases.

Since diet plays a pivotal role in ensuring the body receives enough nutrients to produce red blood cells, the guide highlights foods to incorporate into an iron-rich eating plan. These encompass red meat, poultry, and shellfish containing heme iron, and fortified cereals, grains, leafy greens, and other plant-based food sources of non-heme iron.

Valleant also emphasizes the importance of vitamins C, B12, and folic acid to enhance absorption and overall red blood cell health. It notes that readers should consult a healthcare provider to identify their specific needs.

Additionally, the guide addresses the importance of exercise, managing stress, and getting enough rest to support the body’s immune system and overall functioning. Valleant concludes with tips for preventing iron deficiencies, stressing the importance of regular screenings for young children, adolescent girls and women, and other individuals at higher risk.

A spokesperson for Valleant’s platform said: “By offering access to the latest research, expert insights, and a range of longevity-focused strategies, we strive to empower our community to proactively enhance their health and vitality, enabling them to lead fulfilling and thriving lives.”
