Megaloblastic anemia is not uncommon in our life. It is an anemia formed by the presence of megaloblastic cells with abnormal morphology and function in the bone marrow due to folic acid and/or vitamin B12 deficiency or some specific reason that impairs the synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in the nucleus of the cells, and cell division cannot proceed smoothly. Among megaloblastic anemia, nutritional megaloblastic anemia accounts for 90%, of which folic acid deficiency accounts for 90%. Folic acid and vitamin B12 can be effectively supplemented through dietary therapy, which can be an adjunctive treatment for megaloblastic anemia. The following points should be noted in dietary therapy: ① Folic acid-rich foods: Folic acid is most abundant in fresh green leafy vegetables, such as carrots, spinach, potatoes, apples, tomatoes, etc., while soybeans, beef liver, chicken, pork and eggs also contain high levels of folic acid. ②Foods rich in vitamin B12: Vitamin B12 is high in animal foods, such as beef liver, lamb liver, beef, goat’s milk, dried cheese, milk, and eggs. In addition, there are stinky tofu, soybeans, wheat noodles and soy tofu. The content of vitamin B12 in breast milk is not high, infant feeding is appropriate to add supplementary food in a timely manner. ③Pay attention to cooking methods: the loss of folic acid content after cooking food can be more than 50%, especially after boiling water is more loss, so the boiling time of food should not be too long. Vitamin C: Vitamin C is involved in the reduction of folic acid, and when there is a lack of vitamin C, it can lead to folic acid deficiency.
