What are we doing for ourselves as women?
Lots of women lose their lives in
pregnancy and child birth mainly due to anaemia (low haemoglobin in
blood). Policies are not in place in most developing countries to reduce
this . But women can stand up and do something very basic to help. Take your life into your own hands start eating nutritious foods early in life DO NOT wait till you are pregnant and do same for your daughters.
Anaemia in women starts from adolescence
when menstruation starts and our diet is not improved with blood
forming nutrients to replenish the blood loss.Some of these foods are: Dark green leafy vegetables - kontomire, ademeh, spinach; meat, liver, kidney beans, soybeans, milk, cheese.
