Abstract
Introduction: Anemia is most prevalent nutritional problem worldwide and it is mainly caused by iron deficiency. Iron is very necessary for many functions in the body including formation of haemglobin, brain development and function, regulation of body temperature, muscle activity and catecholamine metabolism. Lack of iron in blood directly affect immune system, diminishes the number of T-cells and the production of antibodies. Along with the pharmacological therapy, many complementary therapies are also available for treating anemia. Similarly consuming beetroot juice or beet as cooked vegetable in salad is highly beneficial in treating anemia. Aim of the study: To assess the effectiveness of beetroot juice with lemon and beetroot juice without lemon on anemia among adolescent girls at selected Senior Secondary School, Faridkot. Material and methods: A quantitative approach with and quasi experimental, pre test-post test research design was selected for the present study. With simple random sampling (60) anemic adolescent girls were selected having Hb value of 9-11 gm/dl. Out of 60 selected anemic adolescent girls, random allocation was done by slip method and 30 each were assigned to experimental group 1 and experiment group 2. Socio demographic data sheet and Hb record sheet was prepared to assess the effectiveness of beetroot juice with lemon and beetroot juice without lemon on anemia among adolescent girls. Results: Both interventions i.e. beetroot juice with lemon and beetroot juice without lemon were helpful in improving Hb among adolescent girls but comparison of these interventions showed post intervention mean score of beetroot juice with lemon was 11.73 and mean of beetroot juice without lemon was 11.26 which were significant at p value <0.05. Conclusion: Beetroot juice with lemon is an effective intervention to raise the level of Hb and improve the absorption of iron. Adolescent girls can prepare it themselves and the cost is low when compared with other iron rich vegetables.
