The nutritionist named a possible reason for the sudden aversion to meat in women.
The sudden appearance of aversion to meat in women may indicate iron deficiency anemia or latent iron deficiency. This was told by a nutritionist at the Department of Gynecological Endocrinology at the National Research Medical Center of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Perinatology. Academician V.I. Kulakov of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation Yulia Moskvicheva "Газете.Ru ".
According to the expert, the body sometimes "rejects" exactly those foods that could help make up for iron deficiency.
"It's amazing that the body rejects those foods that could help increase the amount of iron in the body — meat, offal, poultry. Usually, when there is a deficiency of any vitamins or micronutrients, we instinctively increase our intake of their food sources," the doctor explained.
Moskvicheva added that when such symptoms appear, it is necessary not only to do a general blood test, but also to check the level of iron and ferritin.
The expert stressed that anemia is especially dangerous during pregnancy, as it can lead to complications for the mother and child.
"Anemia leads to a lack of oxygen supply to both the mother and fetus. Including fetal placental insufficiency, fetal growth retardation, premature birth and postpartum complications in the mother," Moskvicheva said.
The doctor reminded that if an iron deficiency is detected, it is necessary to consult a specialist who will select the appropriate drugs and adjust the diet.
