7. Poor Diet Can Be a Cause
There are many reasons why a person may become anemic. A poor diet could be to blame because people get most of their nutrients through their food.
Eating foods rich in iron can help remedy the situation if a poor diet is to blame for anemia. Red meat and beans are great choices for protein and iron. Other foods rich in iron include dark green vegetables, iron-fortified cereals and dried fruit. Anemia can also be caused by folate or vitamin B 12 deficiency.
