Iron deficiency or anaemia is a very common blood disorder. It is a condition where the body produces fewer red blood cells, whose main function is to carry oxygen to the brain and other parts of body. Haemoglobin is the most important component of red blood cells; it s a protein whose main function is to carry oxygen from lungs to body’s cells through bloodstream. Due to insufficient iron in the body, the body cannot produce enough haemoglobin to carry oxygen as a result a person feels tired and fatigued.

BAMBARA BEANS
Scientific name: Vignasubterranea is a member of the family Fabaceae. The plant originated in West Africa. Vignasubterranea ripens its pods underground, much like the peanut. They can be eaten fresh or boiled after drying. Bambara is a good source of fibre, calcium, iron, potassium, and is unusually high in methionine, an essential sulfur-containing amino acid. Anaemia is caused by lack of enough blood in the body. Regular intake of bambara beans helps the body manage anaemia. The nuts are rich in iron that enhances blood levels in the body.
