Anaemic women in Bharat
- ! Over 50% of Indian women are anaemic
Anaemia :
Reasons for Indian women prone to anaemia:
- It is not uncommon in India for women to be the last ones to eat, often after the most nutritious portions have been consumed by the rest of the family members.
- due to limited access to nutritious food and healthcare.
- Iron-rich foods like meat, fish, and leafy greens can be out of reach for many due to their cost
- Many women lack basic nutrition knowledge and are unaware of the essential food groups required for a balanced diet.
- We have moved away from balanced diets and turned to processed foods / ready to eat food products Print
