Anushka Sharma’s dietician Ryan Fernando says anaemia remains a common problem for women. 53 percent of women in India suffer from anaemia and globally it affects around 1.62 billion people. Low iron levels can lead to fatigue, dizziness, and low energy. Aim for 18 mg daily from sources like organ meat, spinach, or a handful of nuts, says Dr Fernando. He suggests 3 key nutrients: Iron, folate and vitamin B12. These are essential for maintaining energy, cognitive function and good health, he says. He adds that women, especially those over 40, should be more mindful of their nutrient intake as the body ages. It is important, he adds, to make positive dietary changes to thrive to keep bones strong, boost energy and immunity levels.
