How can I reduce my risk of developing anemia of chronic disease?

Anemia of chronic disease happens because you have a chronic illness that affects your red blood cell levels. You may not be able to prevent anemia, but you can help your overall health by eating a healthy diet that includes:

• Lean protein including chicken, turkey and beans.
• Dark leafy greens like spinach and kale.
• Iron-fortified bread and cereal.
• Vitamin supplements including B12, folate and iron.
