“…house cricket, mealworm) (Orkusz, 2021), meat, broccoli, peppers or parsley (Computer program Diet 6D, 2018). Iron deficiency can cause anaemia (Domellöf, Thorsdottir, and Thorstensen, 2013), brittleness of hair and nails, cavities at the corners of the mouth, impaired physical performance and concentration, as well as inflammation and bleeding (Besarab and Hemmerich, 2018). The effects of potassium deficiency are not clearly proven, however studies show that potassium deficiency can affect lower blood pressure, cause ischaemic heart disease and cause myocardial infarction (Jarosz et al, 2020).…”

In recent years the pace of human life has increased significantly. Sometimes, overworked people do not have time to prepare five meals a day by themselves, and use the services of catering companies offering ready-made meals that are delivered directly to the client’s place of work or residence in the form of a box.. This study aimed to evaluate the diet of individual customers based on the standard diet developed by one of the companies (the company was randomly chosen) engaged in dietary catering based in Lower Silesia. This evaluation was carried out based on menus prepared for ten days. For this purpose, the Diet 6D programme, developed by the Institute of Food and Nutrition in Warsaw, was used. The amounts of basic nutrients in the standard dietary menus adopted by the catering company did not comply with the recommendations for a rational diet. The advantage of the served meals was that the customers were offered a daily variety of meals rich in vegetables and fruit.

Iron deficiency (ID) is the most frequent nutritional deficiency in the whole population worldwide, and the second most common cause of anemia in the elderly. The prevalence of anemia is expecting to rise shortly, because of an ageing population. Even though WHO criteria define anemia as a hemoglobin serum concentration <12 g/dL in women and <13 g/dL in men, several authors propose different and specific cut-off values for the elderly. Anemia in aged subjects impacts health and quality of life, and it is associated with several negative outcomes, such as longer time of hospitalization and a higher risk of disability. Furthermore, it is an independent risk factor of increased morbidity and mortality. Even though iron deficiency anemia is a common disorder in older adults, it should be not considered as a normal ageing consequence, but a sign of underlying dysfunction. Relating to the molecular mechanism in Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA), hepcidin has a key role in iron homeostasis. It downregulates the iron exporter ferroportin, inhibiting both iron absorption and release. IDA is frequently dependent on blood loss, especially caused by gastrointestinal lesions. Thus, a diagnostic algorithm for IDA should include invasive investigation such as endoscopic procedures. The treatment choice is influenced by the severity of anemia, underlying conditions, comorbidities, and the clinical state of the patient. Correction of anemia and iron supplementation should be associated with the treatment of the causal disease.

“…Iron deficiency in the human body can be caused due to low iron intake, non-optimal iron absorption in the digestive tract and blood loss. In developing countries, general iron deficiency is caused by low iron intake or blood loss due to intestinal worm colonization (Besarab, 2018). Decreased iron intake can reduce hemoglobin levels in the body because iron is the main element forming hemoglobin.…”

Nutritional anemia in adolescents has an impact on decreasing learning concentration and low learning achievement. Adolescent girls who are anemic are at risk of becoming anemic women of childbearing age, then becoming anemic mothers who can experience chronic energy deficiency during pregnancy later. Red dragon fruit and moringa leaves are known to have a high level of vitamin C, rich in iron, and other bioactive compound. However, the potency of the combination between Hylocereus polyrhizus juice and Moringa Leaf Powder towards Hemoglobin level in Adolescent girls is still remain unknown. The purpose of this study was to know the effect of giving a mixture of hylocereus polyrhizus juice and Moringa leaf powder on hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls. A Quasy Experimental study was conducted in this study with two intervention groups and one control group. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 60 students especially adolescent girls from Senior High School 3 in Bengkulu City in May 2022. Statistical analysis using One Way Anova test and Bonferonni Post Hoc test. A mixture of Hylocereus polyrhizus juice and moringa leaf powder was significantly associated with increasing hemoglobin levels than group that was given hylocereus polyrhizus juice only with p value = 0,000 (p <0,05).
