Guidelines to Improve Your Childs Iron-intake

Iron plays a very important role in maintaining some of the important body functions including the production of hemoglobin; the molecule in your blood which carries oxygen. As we all know iron is substantial in maintaining healthy cells in the skin, nails, and hair. As per research brain development of child is also affected by under nutrition. Also, the lack of iron might be a reason for less concentration and laziness. We know the consequences of the lower iron intake yet we decide to be oblivious. 

 Why iron intake is important for a child's growth?

During childhood, undernutrition cause children to feel fatigued and low on energy which affects their overall development including his overall performance. The proper nutrition provided at an early age helps a child to develop in every aspect. Among all the Nutrients Iron is the most important when it comes to carrying oxygen in the hemoglobin of red blood cells. Lack of iron in the blood may cause your child to be a victim of anemia. 

The required Iron Intake for a child

The requirement of iron intake varies according to age group. The Total amount of iron need in the blood can be fulfilled in many ways. Following data describes the exact amount of iron required in the different age group.

- Infants who breastfeed tend to get a sufficient amount of the iron and all the nutrients from the mother for 4-6 months age.

- Infants who are aged between 7–12 months need 11 milligrams of iron a day.

-kids between ages 1–3 years need 7 milligrams of iron each day.

-Teen boys should get 11 milligrams of iron a day and teen girls should get 15 milligrams. 

Most Effective Ways To Overcome your Child's Iron Intake's Problem. 

Since we know how important iron is for the overall growth of a child, we should learn about the source of iron. The iron can be taken in many forms - from a green leafy vegetable to meat. The source may vary in the different age group. For infants, Breast milk is the high source of bio available iron but in amounts that are not sufficient to meet the needs of infants older than 4 to 6 months. Here are the guidelines to meet the required amount of iron level.

 1. Including Soy products in your child's diet is the proven way to fill out all the iron deficiency. Soy products include Tofu, Soy chunks, Soy milk, etc. 

2. If you're fine with the non-vegetarian diet then including fish, poultry products, red meat shows the better result.

3. spinach Is the reach source of iron. It contains 3.6mg of iron.

4. Just like spinach, including any dark leafy vegetable in the meal can help your child fill out the iron deficiency.

An Innovative methods for boosting nutrition

Under nutrition is one of the common condition which is affecting almost half of the population of the world. Under nutrition is caused by failing to meet the required amount of nutrients such as vitamin-mineral etc. The major number in the affected population is pregnant ladies and school kids. Cities in India give associate example wherever urban slums area unit rampant and underneath nutrition rife. slums in Urban part of India issues quite in contrast to the country’s rural areas

India is the home for the world's largest iron-deficient population which includes both children and women. The average number of women affected by iron deficiency is 51% whereas, the number of children affected on an average is 57%. The serious issue of undernutrition affects not only socially but economically also.

Measures of Under nutrition

There are various signs which measure the nutritional status of a person. The signs may include body composition, physical function, biochemical compounds, metabolic processes, or dietary intake, etc. The other aspect of the undernutrition is lack of iron in the blood. The important element present in hemoglobin; the red blood cell which carries the oxygen in the blood from the lung to the tissue. Iron deficiency is responsible for the serious health condition called anemia.

Ways to deal with Under nutrition

There are many ways the under nutrition can be treated. Inclusion of a healthy diet, supplements, and food fortification. yet not all the options are safe. Usually, the supplements which come in the form of pills and capsule may put your life in danger.

Food fortification can also be useful to meet up the nutrition level. Food fortification is the process of adding vitamins and minerals to staple food like milk, rice, curry, etc. Consider this as an example, vitamin D, which is added to milk. The nutrients of the milk get increased with the process of food fortification. Bread and pasta are often fortified with B vitamin and iron. When you do not get this nutrient in the proper amount, you may feel dizzy all day long. fortification will boost your daily intake and doubtless reverse these deficiency symptoms.

Necessity of Iron for the Human Body

Do you easily feel fatigued? Are your palms always pale? This could be because your body is deficient in iron. Children till the age of 13 require 8-10 milligram of iron daily and an average adult requires 8-15 milligram of iron daily. Lack of iron in your body is a disease called anemia. Iron Deficiency might not seem like a grave problem but in reality can cause critical damage to a human body and even can lead in fatality.

Oxygen is the most basic necessity for the human race and iron is the medium through which our organs receive oxygen. Iron is an important component of hemoglobin, the substance in red blood cells that carries oxygen from your lungs to transport it throughout your body. Hemoglobin represents about two-thirds of the body’s iron. If you don't have enough iron, your body can't make enough healthy oxygen-carrying red blood cells.

What is Lucky Shakti Leaf?

This is where we at Life Enrich identified this huge problem and created an effective solution, Lucky Shakti Leaf. It is a revolutionary product created for the Indian market by a Canadian company “Lucky Iron Fish Enterprise”. As the name suggests, it is a source of energy. It is a very secure and simple way to consume necessary dosage of iron daily. It is clinically tested and proven solution for those who suffer from the plight of anemia and those who want to take preventive measures.

Who is affected by it?

According to the statistics provided by WHO Global Database, approximately 1.6 billion people are affected by anemia. The highest prevalence is in preschool-age children (47.4%), and the lowest prevalence is in men (12.7%). However, the population group with the greatest number of individuals affected is non-pregnant women (468.4 million).

These numbers are staggering and require immediate medical intervention to drastically reduce the number of people affected by anemia.

Affects on women

Menstruation depletes iron stores. This is why women have higher anemia rates than men. This creates many complications for women like Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and difficult pregnancy.

Women who aren’t pregnant or nursing need to take in 15 to 18 milligrams of iron daily. Women who are pregnant need significantly more iron. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the recommended dietary allowance of iron for pregnant women is 27 milligrams per day. Anemia in pregnant woman can hamper the growth of the infant and stunt it’s cognitive growth. If the iron level drops to critical level it could put the mother’s and child’s life in danger.

Women who exercise daily or compete professionally are also at great risk. According to the Office on Women’s Health, female athletes are at an increased risk for iron deficiency. The exact reason isn’t known. Researchers theorize that athletes may need more red blood cells to carry oxygen so they can keep exercising.

Iron Intake Alternatives and Its Side Effect

There are many ways to meet the required amount of iron intake. Green leafy vegetable, meat, tofu, are the natural source of iron while the other way to meet the iron level is to take an iron supplement. The supplement usually comes in the form of capsules and tablets. Taking iron in the form of a capsule or pills is not a safe way to meet up the iron intake. This supplement may cause side effects which include constipation, dark stools, stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting. Lucky Shakti Leaf is a clinically proven solution for fulfilling the required amount of iron in the red blood cell.

Why Use Lucky Shakti Leaf?

We obtain iron trough various food products like spinach, dark chocolate, meats etc. It is not feasible for most people to include iron rich food in their daily diet nor can they afford to buy iron supplements for daily use. Here is how Lucky Shakti Leaf eliminates this problem; it is made of food-grade electrolytic iron that releases 7-8 mg of highly absorbable iron on each use. It can be used for iron deficiency treatment as well as a preventative tool. The Lucky Shakti Leaf is reusable by an entire family and lasts for up to five years.

How to use it?

The Lucky Shakti Leaf is easy to use. Simply place the Shakti Leaf in 1 litre (4 cups) of boiling liquid after adding two drops of citrus or acid like lemon or tamarind (Vitamin C helps in the absorption of iron) and boil for 10 minutes. Remove the Shakti Leaf and consume the iron-enriched solution. If used correctly, the Shakti Leaf does not alter the taste, colour or smell of food or water. You can use your Lucky Shakti leaf daily and it is safe for the entire family, including infants 6 months and older.

Do not forget to clean the Shakti Leaf with water and dry it with a cloth to prevent rusting. If your Leaf does rust, don’t worry. You can wash it with soap and water, or with a bit of acid to clean the rust right off.

Preventive Measures of Iron Deficiency Anemia

Iron deficiency anemia is a problem of serious public health significance, given its impact on physical and mental growth, behavior, and work performance. It is the most prevalent nutritional problem in the world today, affecting more than 700 million persons. Simply put, an iron deficiency occurs when the body doesn't have enough of the mineral iron in the blood. This insufficiency may occur due to inadequate iron intake, reduced bioavailability of dietary iron or chronic blood loss. When prolonged, iron deficiency leads to iron deficiency anemia.

What are the Threats of Iron Deficiency Anemia?

Iron deficiency anemia can have many negative consequences on the health of humans, which includes impaired physical growth, compromised cognitive development, short attention span and impaired learning capacity, reduced muscle function and energy utilization, decreased physical activity, lower work productivity, lowered immunity, and impaired fat absorption. Iron-deficiency anemia during pregnancy can have some severe consequences including increased rates of premature delivery, perinatal complications in mother and newborn, low birth weight, low iron stores, etc. Thus, it becomes very important to take some preventive measure in order to stay away from this disease.

How to Prevent Iron Deficiency Anemia?

There is no single approach for preventing iron deficiency anemia; it varies from age groups and genders. Also, some of the basic approaches to the prevention of iron deficiency anemia include increasing dietary iron intake, food fortification with iron, supplementation with medicinal iron, and the control of infection.

1. Increase Dietary Intake:

When iron deficiency anemia is caused by inadequate iron intake, it can be prevented by eating a diet high in iron-rich foods and vitamin C.

Foods high in iron include:

●        meat (lamb, pork, chicken, and beef)

●        beans

●        pumpkin and squash seeds

●        leafy greens, such as spinach

●        raisins and other dried fruit

●        eggs

●        seafood, such as clams, sardines, shrimp, and oysters

●        iron-fortified dry and instant cereals

Foods high in vitamin C include:

●        fruits such as oranges, grapefruits, strawberries, kiwis, guavas, papayas, pineapples, melons, and mangoes

●        broccoli

●        red and green bell peppers

●        Brussels sprouts

●        cauliflower

●        tomatoes

●        leafy greens

2. Food Fortification:

Iron fortification of foods is a preventive measure that aims at improving and sustaining iron nutrition on a permanent basis. It can be targeted to groups at risk of iron deficiency or to whole populations, depending on the characteristics of their diet, the availability of appropriate iron compounds, food vehicles, and the financial resources, among other considerations. Fortification of foods can include only iron (single fortification) or it can be extended to encompass two or more nutrients (multiple fortification). It can use a variety of iron compounds and vehicles.

Various types of foods have been used for iron fortification. Ideally, the food selected is consumed regularly in sufficient, stable quantities by the target populations and is centrally processed, easy to fortify, stable in storage, inelastic to price, minimally altered by the addition of the fortificant, and amenable to proper regulation and monitoring.

Preventive Measures of Iron Deficiency Anemia for Different Age-Groups:

1. Infancy: The first preventive measure against iron deficiency is assuring adequate body iron at birth by avoiding gestational iron deficiency and other condition leading to low birth weight and premature delivery. In the first 4-6 months age of infants, breast-feeding is an important contribution to the maintenance of better iron nutrition. After about 6 months of age, infants need an additional source of iron beyond that provided by breast milk. A portfolio of evidence illustrates that iron deficiency and anemia in older infants and young children can be prevented by appropriate complementary feeding. When breastfeeding is not possible, iron-fortified milk preparations are needed.

2. Preschool Children (3 to 7 years of age): Iron supplementation of preschool children is also important and requires special planning. The rapid growth of the early years exacerbates the need for iron, and young children are particularly at risk of iron deficiency and anemia. This holds true in both developed and developing countries. Many studies have illustrated that if iron deficiency anemia is mild to moderate and iron supplements are administered at proper doses, anemia correction can be achieved in a few months.

3. School-Age Children and Adolescents: As in the case of preschool children, no specific short-term measures are currently used for the continuous prevention and control of iron deficiency in these vulnerable populations. Children of school age usually do not have the same high prevalence of anemia as preschool children. Short courses are best, as for preschool children; the daily dose should be between 30 mg and 60 mg of elemental iron, depending on the child's age and weight.

4. Women of Childbearing Age: Although in many developing countries 30–60 percent of menstruating women are victims of iron-deficiency anemia, and in some countries, nearly all are iron deficient, hardly any attention has been given to this group in planning and implementing specific preventive measures. These women receive attention only when they become pregnant. Many expert panels have recognized that the risk of anemia during pregnancy is greater among women who enter pregnancy with depleted iron stores and recommend universal iron supplementation during gestation as a prophylactic measure. For women of childbearing age in the developing world, WHO and a multiagency consultation (WHO/UNICEF/UNU) indicate that for preventive purposes, adolescents and adult women should receive a 2-4 month course of 60 mg of iron daily.

5. Pregnant Women: Pregnant women are a priority group for iron supplementation. The regulation of iron metabolism in pregnancy is unique, because profound hormonal changes, functional adaptations, and large increments in iron requirements occur during this time. Iron absorption increases as pregnancy advances. Women who enter pregnancy with iron deficiency and low hemoglobin levels are at higher risk of anemia. It has been observed that many women develop anemia from the second trimester onward. Iron supplementation should occur primarily during the second half of pregnancy when the iron requirement is greatest. Iron supplementation of pregnant women has been viewed as the main global strategy for controlling iron deficiency and anemia.

Conclusion:

The success of all the preventive measures of iron deficiency anemia also depends on the active participation of the population. Hence the need for a public education support strategy based on careful analysis of the behavioral changes is required. The control measures described in this article and summarized above hold out great hope for reducing the burden of iron deficiency anemia.

Life Enrich has come up with an effective solution - 'Lucky Shakti Leaf' which is a natural and clinically proven remedy to eradicate iron deficiency. It's regular use can reduce anemia in children, women and men risk free and economical manner. Get your health today at www.lifeenrich.in

Important Things Everyone Should Know About Iron Deficiency

Iron is a workhorse nutrient: It makes your cells work properly, sharpens your concentration and memory, drives your body’s energy supplies, helps form hemoglobin in your red blood cells that carries oxygen to every part of your body, and may even ward off depression. Iron is a part of many enzymes and is used in many cell functions of the body. Enzymes play a vital role in our body as they help our bodies digest foods and are responsible for many other important reactions that occur within our bodies. When our bodies lack in iron, many parts of our bodies are troubled.

What is Iron Deficiency and Why it is a Concern?

Iron deficiency occurs when the body doesn’t have enough of the mineral iron in the blood. It is the most common nutritional deficiency and the leading cause of anemia worldwide. Iron deficiency, iron deficiency anemia, and anemia terms are often used interchangeably but equivalent. It ranges from depleted iron stores without functional or health impairment to iron deficiency with anemia, which affects the functioning of several organ systems.

Iron deficiency is a concern because:

It can delay normal infant motor function like normal activity and movement or mental function like normal thinking and processing skills.

Iron deficiency during pregnancy can increase the risk for small or early (preterm) These kind of babies are more likely to have health problems or die in the first year of life than infants who are born full-term and are not small.

It can cause fatigue that impairs the ability to do physical work in adults. Iron deficiency in teens may also affect their memory or other mental functions.

Who is most at risk for Iron Deficiency?

Iron deficiency is a common condition and may occur at any age and among any ethnic group. However, some of the more vulnerable recipients of iron deficiency are as follows –

Mostly, young children and pregnant women are at higher risk of iron deficiency because of rapid growth and higher iron needs.

Due to menstruation, adolescent girls and women of childbearing age are at high risk.

Among children, iron deficiency is observed most often between the age of 6 months and 3 years due to rapid growth and inadequate intake of dietary iron.

Infants and children at highest risk are the following groups:

Babies who were born early or small. Babies given cow’s milk before the age of 12 months.

Breastfed babies who are not being given plain, iron-fortified cereals or another good source of iron from other foods after the age of 6 months.

Excess milk intake for children aged 1-5 years can decrease their desire for food items with greater iron content, such as meat or iron-fortified cereal.

Children with chronic infections or restricted diets who have special health needs.

How is Iron Deficiency Detected?

As such, no single test is used to diagnose iron deficiency. Usually, your doctor or healthcare provider will do several blood tests to screen for iron deficiency. Some of the most common tests for screening are; Hemoglobin test and Hematocrit test, wherein hemoglobin test measures hemoglobin which is a protein in the blood that carries oxygen and the latter one is used to calculate the percentage of red blood cells in your blood by volume. However, these tests only show how much iron is present in your body. Sometimes their levels usually aren’t decreased until the later stages of iron deficiency, i.e., anemia.

That’s why sometimes other blood tests are used to confirm that anemia is due to iron deficiency only. These might include:

To check complete blood count i.e. number and the volume of the red blood cells.

The Serum ferritin test is a measure of a stored form of iron.

Serum iron test is used to measure the amount of iron in your blood.

Transferrin saturation is a measure of the transported form of iron, whereas Transferrin receptor is used to measure increased red blood cell production.

What Can You do to Prevent Iron Deficiency?

To prevent iron deficiency you can start by eating a healthy diet that includes good sources of iron. A healthy diet includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fat-free or nonfat milk and milk products, lean meats, fish, dry beans, eggs, nuts, and is low in saturated fat, trans fats, cholesterol, salt, and added sugars. In addition to the above-mentioned food items, you can also eat foods that help your body absorb iron better. For example, when you eat a fruit or vegetable that is a good source of vitamin C, combine it with a food or meal that contains non-heme iron.

Signs and Symptoms of Iron Deficiency:

Extreme fatigue

Abnormally pale or yellow skin

Shortness of breath

Headaches and dizziness

Heart Palpitations

Restless legs

Dry and Damaged Hair and Skin

Inflammation or Soreness of the Tongue and Mouth

Brittle or Spoon-Shaped Fingernails

Cold hands and feet

What is Iron Overload Threat?

Anything in excess is always harmful. The phenomena of excess accumulation of iron in body tissues is referred to as Iron Overloading. It is caused by the body’s regulatory system failing to keep iron levels within healthy limits. For a majority of people, iron overload may not be a concern. However, it is a problem for those who are genetically predisposed to excessive absorption of iron from the digestive tract. Hemochromatosis is the disease resulting from a significant overload of iron in the body. It can have genetic and non-genetic causes. Since the body has no easy way to dispose of extra iron, the most effective way to get rid of excess iron is blood loss only. Therefore, menstruating women are less likely to experience iron overload. Likewise, individuals who donate blood frequently are at a lower risk.

Conclusion:

If you have not skipped a single word of this article from start to end, then hopefully now you are very well aware of all the terms related to iron deficiency including its detection, prevention, signs & symptoms, and why it is a concern for your health.

How to Reduce Iron Deficiency Naturally During Pregnancy

Like all nutrients, iron also plays a major role during pregnancy. A baby’s growth requires iron and it is an important nutrient for normal cognitive (brain) development. During pregnancy, the heart works harder in order to provide adequate nourishment to the baby and the body increases its blood volume by 30-50%. Due to this high increase in blood volume, it becomes very important for pregnant women to also increase their intake of folic acid and iron. When the sufficient level of iron is not maintained, most of the pregnant women face an increased risk of iron deficiency anemia, a condition in which they don't have enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to their body's tissues.

Although mild anemia can be a common phenomenon in pregnancy, it can become serious if it becomes too severe or is left untreated. In fact, iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy can lead to premature birth and low birth weight for your baby, and even maternal mortality. Thus, taking preventive measures for iron deficiency anemia is very important for a healthy pregnancy. In this article, we will see how you can reduce iron deficiency naturally during pregnancy.

What Causes Iron Deficiency during Pregnancy?

During pregnancy, your body produces more blood to support the growth of your little one. If a pregnant woman is not getting enough iron or certain other nutrients, her body might not be able to produce the number of red blood cells it needs to make this additional blood. Iron is used by the body to make hemoglobin which is a protein in the red blood cells that carries oxygen to your tissues. Also, during pregnancy, you need double the amount of iron that a non-pregnant woman will need. That's because iron is essential to the extra red blood cells your body will create to provide oxygen for the baby. If your body doesn't have enough iron stores or your iron intake is low during pregnancy, you could develop iron deficiency anemia.

What are the Symptoms of Iron Deficiency during Pregnancy?

While mild cases of iron deficiency anemia may have no symptoms at all, moderate to severe conditions may present themselves with the following symptoms:

·         Excessive Fatigue

·         Weakness

·         Pale or yellowish skin

·         Irregular heartbeats

·         Shortness of breath

·         Dizziness or lightheadedness

·         Chest pain

·         Cold hands and feet

·         Headache

·         Difficulty concentrating

You may experience all or none of these symptoms if you have iron-deficiency anemia during your pregnancy. Fortunately, you will have blood tests to screen for anemia during prenatal care. You can expect to be tested early in your pregnancy, and usually once more as you move closer to your due date. But you should speak to your doctor right away if you’re concerned about any of the symptoms listed here, or if something feels wrong.

How can Iron Deficiency during Pregnancy be Prevented and Treated Naturally?

If you suspect that you may have an iron deficiency, it is important to see your doctor before trying to self-diagnose. Excessive intake of iron supplements can be dangerous, potentially causing liver damage amongst other problems. Your doctor will be able to determine if you have an iron deficiency and prescribe the correct dose of iron for you to take if necessary.

Your doctor may recommend taking an iron supplement, prenatal vitamins or adding more foods that are high in iron and folic acid to your diet. Eating iron-rich foods is a good and natural way of reducing iron deficiency during pregnancy. The major benefit of obtaining your iron from food products is that you can typically absorb it better than pills and other supplements.

Some of the iron-rich foods include:

·         Dark, leafy greens, such as spinach, collard greens, and kale

·         Dried fruit, including apricots, prunes, raisins, and figs

·         Raspberries and strawberries

·         Sauerkraut

·         Beets

·         Brussel sprouts

·         Brocolli

·         Potatoes

·         Beans, peas, and lentils

·         Eggs, especially the yolk

·         Blackstrap molasses and other unrefined sugars

·         Red meat and liver are mostly recommended, though pork, chicken, and lamb are good as well

·         Fish, clams, and oysters

·         Tofu

·         Fortified cereals, grains, and pasta

·         Oatmeal

·         Whole wheat bread

You can also take a vitamin C supplement or eat foods containing vitamin C, such as citrus fruits, strawberries, kiwi, melon, tomatoes, and bell peppers, that helps in iron absorption. Also, cooking with cast iron pots can add up to 80 percent more iron to your food.

Conclusion:

Iron deficiency is not a major concern, as you progress through your pregnancy, think about simple ways to increase your iron intake. You will feel better and can reduce your risk of iron deficiency anemia. It will also help if you have already been diagnosed. If needed, ask your doctor or midwife for a referral to a nutritionist. A simple one-on-one visit might be all that you need to get on track.

Solution For Anemia- Lucky Shakti Leaf

The importance of good haemoglobin concentration during pregnancy for both the woman and the growing foetus cannot be overemphasized. Being a driving force for oxygen for the mother and foetus, a reduction below acceptable levels can be detrimental to both.Traditionally, anaemia is defined as a decrease in the ability of blood to carry oxygen due to a decrease in the total number of erythrocytes (each having a normal quantity of haemoglobin), a diminished concentration of haemoglobin per erythrocyte, or a combination of both. A haemoglobin concentration below 11.0gldl or packed cell volume (PCV) of less than 33.0% is regarded as anaemia during pregnancy by the World Health Organization Its mostly related to iron deficiency.

The best solution for anemia cure is the lucky Shakti Leaf, if any one is facing iron deficiency proble the they should try this. They will definiately have a relief form the iron deficiency and blood disorder problems. Get in touch with us on http://lifeenrich.in/

It is one of the most intractable public health problems in developing countries and the commonest complication in pregnancy in sub-Saharan Africa, more so with the advent of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. The WHO estimates that anaemia affects over half of the pregnant women in developing countries. Recent estimates in the developing countries including Nigeria put the prevalence at 60.0% in pregnancy and about 7.0% of the women are said to be severely anaemic. The high prevalence and the aetiological factors responsible for anaemia in pregnancy are multiple and their relative contributions are said to vary by geographical area and by season.

Anaemia in pregnancy may be relative or absolute. Relative anaemia is a normal physiological phenomenon that occurs in pregnancy due to a larger increase in plasma volume (approximately 45.0% in singleton and 50.0–60.0% in twin gestation) than in red cell mass, resulting in the well-known physiological anaemia of pregnancy. Absolute anaemia involves a true decrease in red cell mass, involving increased red cell destruction as in haemoglobinopathy, malaria, and bacterial infection like urinary tract infection; increased red cell loss as in bleeding; or decreased red cell production as in nutritional deficiency or chronic disease. Predisposing factors include young age, grand multiparity, low socioeconomic status, illiteracy, ignorance, and short interpregnancy intervals. Infection with hookworm and intestinal helminths causes gastrointestinal blood loss resulting in depletion of the iron stores and consequently impaired erythropoiesis. They also lead to mal-absorption and inhibition of appetite, thereby worsening micronutrients deficiency and maternal anaemia.

The principle of anaemia prevention in the study centre is the control of malaria and haematinics supplementation. All pregnant women receive routine daily supplementation of elemental iron and folic acid. Protection against malaria is usually achieved through the use of insecticide-treated bed nets, intermittent preventive treatment of asymptomatic pregnant women, and early diagnosis and prompt and effective case management of malaria. Other interventions include HIV screening and management, health education on diet, cooking, and early diagnosis and treatment of anaemia which depends on the severity and its cause as well as the gestational age of the patient. Correction of anaemia in pregnancy can be achieved either with haematinics or by blood transfusion.

A key component of a safe motherhood initiative is to reduce maternal mortality by half through the eradication of anaemia during pregnancy. The management of anaemia in pregnancy is a potentially feasible and cost-effective intervention to reduce maternal, foetal, and perinatal mortality and morbidity. However, the actual prevalence rates of pregnancy related conditions for many individual countries and communities are not known. Thus, it was recommended at the African regional consultation on the control of anaemia in pregnancy of the WHO that simple studies of prevalence and aetiology should be undertaken.

Many of the predisposing factors to anaemia in pregnancy are controllable and may lead to women becoming pregnant with anaemia; thus there is need for basic prevalence statistics to create awareness on the magnitude of anaemia in pregnancy in our environment and also to formulate strategies to reduce its adverse health consequences in order to improve maternal health and reduce poor perinatal outcome. Information on the prevalence would also be useful for the managers of health institutions and for district, provincial, and national maternal, child, and women’s health programme development. Hence, this study aims to determine the prevalence of anaemia and the red cell morphological pattern among pregnant women at the booking clinic of the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital (UUTH), Uyo. The results from this study will reveal the magnitude of this problem in our environment and also provide relevant data to strengthen planning on the prevention of anaemia in pregnancy, thus helping to reduce the prevalence of anaemia in pregnancy and the morbidity and mortality associated with it.

Impact of Iron Defeciency on Your Body

Iron Defeciency primarily affects women of reproductive age and children. Iron is mainly found in hemoglobin and is essential for the binding and transportation of oxygen as well as for the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. Iron deficiency results from insufficient absorption of iron or excessive loss of iron from the body.

Lucky Shakti Leaf- Perfect Solution

In India, 53% of women of reproductive age (15–49 years) and 58.6% of children (6–59 months) are anemic. Lucky Shakti Leaf is a perfect solution for these populations.

However, many people affected by iron deficiency cannot afford to buy iron-rich foods like red meat or choose not to eat meat. Iron supplements can come with unpleasant side effects and are expensive.

How to Use Lucky Shakti Leaf:

You can use your Lucky Shakti leaf daily and it is safe for the entire family, including infants 6 months and older.

The Lucky Shakti Leaf is easy to use. Simply place the Shakti Leaf in 1 litre (4 cups) of boiling liquid after adding two drops of citrus or acid (lime, tamarind, tomato, stock etc.) and boil for 10 minutes. Remove the Shakti Leaf and consume the iron-enriched water, soup, dal, or curry! Used correctly, the Shakti Leaf does not alter the taste, colour or smell of food or water.

Do not forget to clean the Shakti Leaf with water and dry it with a cloth to prevent rusting. If your Leaf does rust, don’t worry. You can wash it with soap and water, or with a bit of acid to clean the rust right off.
