Spinach's Role in Treating Anaemia

Spinach is often thought to help with anaemia because it contains iron.

However, the iron in spinach is not easily absorbed by the body due to oxalates.

Potassium in spinach supports heart health but does not directly treat anaemia.

To absorb more iron from spinach, you can add vitamin C, like lemon juice, or cook it in a cast-iron pan.

While spinach can be part of a healthy diet, it's important to include other iron-rich foods like lentils, sesame seeds, and millets.

For those with anaemia, dietary changes should be combined with medical advice.
