Anemia occurs due to an iron deficiency in the body. Women frequently suffer from this condition, and especially during heavy periods or due to poor dietary choices.

Natural Juices that May Help Treat and Prevent Anemia

Iron is vital to your body’s ability to synthesize red blood cells and hemoglobin. These are what transport oxygen from your lungs to all the cells in your body and are indispensable functions.

When suffering from anemia, a lot of symptoms occur such as fatigue, brittle hair and nails, paleness, and heart palpitations.

Here are a few healthy and all natural juice recipes that may help treat and prevent anemia.

Beet and Carrot Juice

Adding carrots to it helps facilitate iron absorption, and brewer’s yeast is another excellent ally for treating iron deficiency.

Ingredients

• One beet
• 1 carrot
• 2 tablespoons of brewer’s yeast
• One glass of filtered or boiled water (about 8 ounces)

Preparation

• Start off by washing and cutting the beet and carrot. Place them in a blender along with the water and blend thoroughly.
• Once they’re well blended, add the brewer’s yeast.
• Drink this before breakfast.

Parsley Juice

The taste is a bit strong, but we assure you that this can be an excellent remedy for helping to treat anemia.

Parsley contains a lot of iron. When combined with lemon juice, it can also help you absorb it better. It’s best that you consume this drink before your main meal.

Ingredients

• 1 handful of parsley
• 1 lemon
• One glass filtered or boiled water (about 8 ounces)

Preparation

• Always start by washing your ingredients well.
• Then, cut the parsley into pieces, and place in a blender along with the water. Proceed to squeeze in the lemon juice.
• The taste is a bit strong, but do your absolute best to drink all of it. Think of it in terms of the drink being a necessary, non-harmful medicine for helping to treat your anemia.

Remember that the iron in parsley is much more easily absorbed by your intestines when it’s mixed with lemon juice.
