- Brain and Cognitive development
- Important for immunity to fight infections
- For maintaining the blood volume and blood pressure
- It is required for increasing the lean body mass (muscle mass)

How to treat anaemia?
A well-balanced diet is the fundamental requirement. Give your child vegetables, fruits and medicines to boost that particular deficiency.
Encourage your children to eat dark, leafy vegetables, and grains and cereals that have iron added to them. Other good sources of iron are red meat, egg yolk, raisins, beans and tomatoes. Adding Vitamin C to the diet either as supplements or through diet as it will help in the absorption of iron into the body.
Due to unhealthy eating habits (junk food), the incidence of anaemia is increasing with time. So the National Iron Program, started by Govt of India stipulates that all kids after 1 year of life should be given
Iron supplement for 100 days/year (3 months) till 18-20 years of age.
