Similar to spaghetti, except square rather than round, and made of egg in addition to flour. Named after the device used to cut the pasta, which has a wooden frame strung with metal wires. Sheets of pasta are pressed down onto the device, and then the wires are âstrummedâ so that the slivers of pasta fall through.
Learn to Take Iron to Prevent Anemia. Visit your doctor and discuss exactly how much iron you should be taking. Men need about 8 mg per day and women should have at least 18 mg. Pregnant women need close to 30 mg per day and only 8 mg per day while nursing. Examine your diet and be sure that you're eating a few excellent sources of iron.
If your iron deficiency anemia is due to rectal bleeding, caused by hemorrhoids, or some other bowel abnormalities, it is important to increase the amount of bulk fiber in your diet per day. You can do that by taking 1 tsp. of MetamucilÂ® in 8 oz. of liquid, once a day.
