EFFECTIVENESS OF DRUM STICK LEAVES JUICE IN INCREASING HAEMOGLOBIN LEVEL AMONG ANAEMIC WOMEN OF REPRODUCTIVE AGE

Abstract

Among this drumstick leaf which is scientifically known as Moringa olifera is a green leafy vegetable which is rich and natural source of iron. Drumstick leaves are capable of curing Iron deficit in human beings. Iron is an important mineral required by a human body to perform some of the essential functions. The basic and important function of iron (as a part of hemoglobin) is to carry oxygen from lungs to cells in our body and is an essential requirement of the body. Iron is responsible for the production of hemoglobin by erythroblasts. If iron count is not adequate, the HB production does not succeed and the number of RBC decreases. The present observation is aimed at evaluate usefulness of drumstick leaves juice to increasing hemoglobin level among anemic women in reproductive age group. In this study quantitative evaluative research approach will be applied to value of drumstick leaves juice to increase hemoglobin level in anemic women in reproductive age group. Subjects are in selected rural areas of Bagalkot district Karnataka. Variables under study Independent variable: use of drumstick leaves juice. The present study is anemic women in reproductive age group who are residing at selected rural areas.
