A survey has found that among urban women who eat "fruit meals" as a fashion, especially those over 18 years old, about 30% suffer from anemia. Experts believe this phenomenon is related to their eating more fruits and less meat, or even relying mainly on fruits for their diet.
The human body needs comprehensive nutrition. For instance, protein, which is essential for life, is found in very low amounts in fruits. If a person does not eat meat or soy products and tries to get their daily required protein entirely from fruits, they would need to consume at least 9,000 grams to meet the body's needs. For any woman, such a fruit intake is difficult to achieve.
Meanwhile, the non-heme iron in fruits is not easily utilized by the human body. Long-term use of fruits as a main meal will definitely lead to insufficient intake of protein and iron, causing anemia and a decrease in immune function.
