4. Anemia

  Anemia is a condition that occurs when your blood does not contain enough red blood cells. If you are anemic, when you bleed it causes you to lose red blood cells at a faster rate than your body can produce, or your body attacks red blood cells. A few different types of anemia are iron deficiency anemia, vitamin deficiency anemia, aplastic anemia, and sickle cell anemia. To prevent anemia, it is important to include iron, folate, vitamin B-12, and vitamin C in your diet. Beans, lentils, dark green leafy vegetables, dairy products, fruit juices, strawberries, and broccoli are all good examples of foods that contain those nutrients.
