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.

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.

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

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