Anemia ferropénica - Prevention

Nombres alternativos

Anemia por deficiencia de hierro

Prevención:

La dieta de todas las personas debe incluir suficiente hierro. Las carnes rojas, el hígado y la yema de huevo son fuentes importantes de este elemento. La harina, el pan y algunos cereales están fortificados con hierro. Si usted no está recibiendo suficiente hierro en la dieta (situación poco común en los Estados Unidos), tome suplementos de éste.

Durante períodos cuando usted necesita hierro extra, como el embarazo y la lactancia, aumente el consumo en la dieta o tome suplementos de hierro.
