(http://www.thehealthsite.com/diseases-conditions/6-resons-yourbody-needs-iron/) but also about the bodys inability to absorb iron
and use it. This is where folic acid comes into play. Folic acid is mainly
responsible for iron absorption and since kadi patta is a rich source of
both the compounds it is your one-stop natural remedy to beat
anaemia. Here is how eating beetroot can help fight anemia.
(http://www.thehealthsite.com/diseases-conditions/ways-toinclude-beetroot-in-your-diet-to-improve-your-haemoglobin-levelsd715/)
Tip:If

stomach every morning. Here are few diet tips to beat anaemia and
