Women's anemia can be remedied with dietary adjustments

　　The stomach is one of the main digestive organs of the human body. It is unfortunate to suffer from gastritis, and it is often accompanied by anemia ,why is that? How should we pay attention to our diet?

　　Question: Why are patients with atrophic gastritis prone to anemia?

　　answer: Stomach problems Patients are prone to anemia, which is mainly related to malnutrition caused by achlorhydria and long-term insufficient caloric intake.

　　When people eat foods containing iron, iron ions are released only under the action of gastric acid, and then form complexes with certain sugars and amino acids in the intestinal contents, which are mainly absorbed in the duodenum. That is to say, dietary iron can only be absorbed into the bloodstream for use by the body when it is reduced from trivalent high iron to divalent low iron under the action of gastric acid. When gastric acid is lacking, the high-valent iron in food cannot be reduced to low-valent iron, making it difficult to absorb iron. Over time, it can cause iron deficiency anemia.

　　On the other hand, anemia can also aggravate achlorhydria, because the blood supply to the stomach is reduced during anemia, and the secretory function of the gastric glands is reduced, which can cause decreased digestive function, diarrhea and other symptoms, creating a vicious cycle and aggravating the condition.

　　Therefore, when achlorhydria occurs, dilute hydrochloric acid and vitamin C can be taken orally to promote the absorption of iron and prevent the occurrence of anemia. Many patients with gastric diseases, such as atrophic gastritis, gastric ulcer, stomach cancer It causes pain, vomiting, bleeding, etc. after the patient eats, causing long-term insufficient caloric intake, leading to malnutrition, and also causing anemia.

　　Question: How to prepare diet for patients with atrophic gastritis complicated by anemia

　　Answer: Suffering from a gastrointestinal tract that affects eating disease Anemia can be prevented and treated by actively treating the primary disease, paying attention to a reasonable diet, and not having a particular eclipse.

　　The specific dietary principles are:

　　①Pay attention to the supply of high-quality protein

　　There should be enough high-quality protein in the diet, such as animal liver, kidney, heart, lean meat, fish, tofu, etc.

　　②Foods rich in iron and copper should be supplemented

　　Foods with high iron content include animal liver, heart, kidney, lean meat, fish, etc.; followed by green vegetables and fruits, such as red fruits, red dates, etc.; kelp, fungus, sesame, etc. are also high in iron content, but their absorption rate is not as good as animal foods. Foods rich in copper include lean meat, liver, soybeans, spinach, cabbage, etc. Since the requirement of copper is very small, only 2 mg per person per day, as long as the body can eat normally, the body's needs can be met in the general diet.

　　③Be rich in vitamins

　　Especially vitamin B1, folic acid, vitamin B and vitamin C. Foods rich in vitamin B1 are fresh green leafy vegetables, liver, kidneys, etc.; the main source of vitamin B is animal food, with the highest content in liver, followed by kidney, meat, fish, etc.; vitamin C is mainly found in fresh fruits and vegetables.

　　④Appropriately limit fat intake

　　Excess fat can inhibit hematopoietic function. If accompanied by indigestion or diarrhea, the daily fat amount should be less than 60 grams.

　　Question: Is there anything I need to pay special attention to?

　　Answer: It should be noted that patients with gastric disease and anemia generally have low gastrointestinal function and should gradually increase the amount of supplementary food to avoid increasing the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and causing maldigestion and absorption.
