What are the food that is prohibited for patient who has anemia?

There is no specific list of foods that are prohibited for a person who has anemia. The best approach is to consume diet that is rich in iron and other nutrients. For example, meats and poultry, fish and seafood, beans, lentils, spinach, kale, and foods that are fortified with iron, such as some breakfast cereals.

However, there are certain food items that can reduce iron absorption, making it more difficult to reverse the anaemia symptoms. Those foods include:

Tea and coffee: Tannin in tea and coffee can bind to iron in the intestine and prevent its absorption. It's recommend limiting tea and coffee to one to two cup a day.

Calcium-fortified foods: Calcium can interfere with iron absorption, so it's best not to consume calcium-fortified foods and iron-rich foods together. Leave a few hour between consuming calcium and iron-rich food.

Eggs and dairy: The protein in eggs and dairy products can bind iron, reducing its absorption. Avoid combining these foods with iron-rich foods.

Phytates: Phytates, which are found in whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds can block the absorption of iron. Cooking can reduce the amount of phytates in the foods.

Avoid alcohol: Alcohol can damage the liver, which is responsible for producing red blood cells. Red blood cell transport oxygen to the entire body. Excessive alcohol intake can also affect the absorption of iron and other nutrients.
