Many people ask me about how to increase their HB naturally. Now I myself have chronic anaemia and also can't take iron in medicine form as am allergic to iron formulations. It has to be either through injections or a blood transfusion so am left with the only easy choice of having it through food. There are many ways to have include iron in ones diet and also vitamin C which helps absorb it well by our body, but I am today telling about a fruit salad option.
This " Green apple beetroot salad" is a bowl full of iron and vitamin C. Pregnant ladies, new mom's, even toddlers can have it for anaemia related issues. It's a health and taste combination and is very easy to make. People who are not feeling like eating anything can also have. It's a meal replacement option too.
Ingredients (for 1 medium bowl)
1 green apple chopped in chunks
1 red apple chopped in chunks
1 cucumber chopped in chunks (optional)
1 beetroot sliced
1 cup pomegranate seeds
Chopped fresh Mint leaves (optional)


For dressing
In a small bowl mix 1 tbsp of fresh ginger juice, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp juice of orange or tangerine juice, 2 tsp honey, 1 tsp black salt, 1 tsp Chaat masala, 1/2 tsp pepper powder, 2 tsp freshly ground bhuna zeera powder and mix well.
Method
Mix all the fruits and vegetables in a bowl. Add dressing and mix well.
Serve this cold. You can also add chopped dates or figs to it. Also can add few berries of choice and even roasted melon or pumpkin seeds. Roasted sesame also goes well with this.
