Citizen’s growing inclination towards junk food also made this very common in this days. With an intention to make people aware about this condition and how it can be cured with healthy diet, Run Bhopal Run organised a 5k Diet Run on January 10. Around 200 participants gathered at SLK Nimbus Arcade on Thursday morning around 7:30 am, where under the guidance of Dietician Dr. Amita Singh, who is also an ambassador of RBR, other 15 dieticians and promoters of RBR discussed about anaemia.

Increase Iron content in your diet : Dr. Amita Singh

Dr. Singh said to the participants that anemia at the initial stage can be cured with the right diet. Ones needs to increase iron content in the diet to get rid of this condition. Besides eating food rich in iron, one should also consume foods rich in Vitamin C (citrus fruits, broccoli, fruit juices, strawberries) to facilitate better absorption of iron in the body. Also remember, iron intake should be within recommended limits, excessive iron intake can also have detrimental effects on one’s health.
