Anemia is generally related to insufficient iron, B12, or folic acid. Try these Anemia Natural Cures to combat anemia today!
Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency in the U.S., according to the CDC. As a result, it's important to eat a varied, whole-foods based diet that includes good sources of iron like grass-fed meat and plenty of different fruits and vegetables.
If you want to boost your copper intake and other essential minerals consume 2 servings a day of these copper rich foods.
Copper Health Benefits
Brain HealthHigh Copper foods stimulate higher-level thought processes and mental functioning. It has been called a “brain food” because it helps enable certain neural pathways that promote out of the box thinking. A lack of copper during growth may result in incomplete brain and nerve development.
Slows AgingCopper is a powerful antioxidant that protects cells against free radical damage. It can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, age spots, and even macular-degeneration.
Energy MaintenanceCopper plays a role in the synthesis of ATP, the primary molecule of energy storage in our bodies. Without adequate copper, the mitochondria (the cell’s energy producer) are unable to adequately produce ATP, leaving us feeling lethargic and tired. Also, copper helps us utilize iron properly, which helps reduce anemia that can also affect energy levels.
I recommend consuming 2-3 of these vitamin E rich foods daily.
Foods high in phosphorus include meat, nuts and beans. Phosphorus is an essential mineral involved in hundreds of daily cellular activities that the skeletal structure and vital organs rely on.

A deficiency in Vitamin D can result in a softening of the bones called osteomalacia, or a bone abnormality called rickets. Additionally, a deficiency increases the risk for developing osteoporosis and experiencing fractures or broken bones. Studies have shown that Vitamin D in doses of 800-5000 IU/day can improve musculoskeletal health, naturally slow aging of the skeletal structure, and reduce the rate of fractures and falls in older adults that are over 65. (7) Older adults with adequate vitamin D levels are more likely to be active, have improved muscle strength, and are less prone to falls and injuries. When vitamin D levels are low, the parathyroid becomes overactive. This is known as hyperparathyroidism and results in drops in phosphorous. Phosphorus, in addition to calcium and other compounds, is needed in order to properly mineralize bone density. |
