Abstract

Introduction and Objective: Anemia affects approximately one-third of the global population and con-tributes to increased morbidity, reduced work productivity, and impaired neurological development. A balanced diet plays a crucial role in the prevention of this condition. The objective is to understand and define the role of nutrition in the prevention, management, and study of anemia. This includes analyzing the impact of dietary choices on the occurrence, progression, and outcomes of the disease. Materials and Methods: 200 patients diagnosed with anemia were included in the study, initially select-ed from the patient registry at the Bulqizë Health Center. Patients were interviewed monthly during their visits to consult with a doctor or to receive medication. Dietary intake, visit frequency, and adherence to the doctor’s advice were documented in the questionnaire responses. Results: Following the diet is crucial, and 156 patients adhere to it by incorporating iron into their meals. Iron-rich foods have positively impacted patients with anemia. Conclusions: Our study confirms that nutrition plays a crucial role in the management of anemia. A daily balanced diet can significantly impact on your health in various ways. Iron-rich foods are essential for maintaining healthy blood levels. Regular consumption of these foods helps alleviate symptoms and improve anemia.
