Smoothie for Anemia
Hi Melissa!! I was wondering if you could think of a smoothie for Anemia? I was recently diagnosed with this condition. Seems like all the food recommendations are meat based=( Any ideas?
Anemia is a complex issue and not one that you can self diagnose. I am a Ph.D. and not a MD and so it is important to have a laboratory test to measure your iron levels and your iron absorption ability and then consult with your medical doctor, naturopathic doctor, chinese medical doctor or ayurvedic doctor rather than trying to solve this problem on your own.
Eat foods high in vitamin C to aid in iron absorption. In this smoothie we will rely on strawberries, apples and the juice of half a lemon. Spinach is a green that is known for its anti-anemia qualities. Dandelion Tincture 10-15 drops – Contains more iron, vitamin B12, potassium and folic acid than almost any other herb. Stinging nettle is a rich source of iron, vitamin C and chlorophyll and is an effective treatment for iron-deficiency anemia.
Smoothie
Dandelion Tincture 10-15 drops
1 -2 cups of stinging nettle tea of infusion
1 apple
1/2 cup strawberries
juice of half a lemon
1 handful of spinach

I have issues with oxalates from various food sources (spinach, parsley, berries, etc.), constipation from iron pills, but in need of iron to help fight my anemic condition, any suggestions?

Hi Melissa how often would you recommend drinking this smoothie, many thanks John

Hi!, first time here 🙂
Does it work without Dandelion Tincture? how strong is the flavour? is there anyway to make it less strong?
thank u.
The microphone taped to your face was really distracting.
What kind of tea can I use ?
Aren't the tannins found in tea counter acting the iron absorption?
what about green tea?
use limes they are alkline fruits.. lemon are full of Acid..

Hi mellisa , I 've been recently diagnosed with anemia and I am taking 3 iron tablet per day , I really want to increase my iron level up . Where can I get the tea leaf please ?
Hi Melissa, I'm anemic. I would like to know how long would it take to get my iron levels up if a drink one smoothie a day?
Thanks for the video this is great information!
My mom was just diagnosed with anemia where can i get that tea and drops what section of a grocery store…receipe looks yummy..
Hi Lyne nie, You can get dandelion tincture at health food stores 🙂
Just wondering, where i can get that dandelion tincture? bc i've been recently diagnose with anemia and i've been trying to find ways to absorb iron bc iron supplements don't help me at all.
Melissa west,
Will the tea inhibit you from absorbing the iron.
Hi love your show. My husband is suffering so badly from gout pain. PLEASE do you have a juice or smoothie. Thank you :((
Thanks Melissa… sorry I didn't mention that I have been tested several times and always come up low iron. And last time my hemoglobin was also low. My doctor says if I can't keep my iron up then he's going to do a blood transfusion… obviously I would also like to avoid that lol!!
Thanks again!!
Sandra
Dear Sandra, So as I mentioned in the video, I'm not a medical doctor, I'm a Ph.D., what I would recommend is to get your iron levels checked. I myself don't take an iron supplement and I definitely don't drink more than one smoothie a day and my iron levels are fine. That is my experience, but the best thing is for you to have a blood test after trying this smoothie for a while 🙂 Cheers, Melissa
Melissa…
Would once a day drinking this smoothie help take care of low iron… or would you recommend it more/less often? I'm not anemic, but I do suffer from low iron, and would like to avoid taking pills.
Thanks,
Sandra
