To increase platelet count naturally, several dietary and lifestyle approaches can help:
- Include foods rich in Vitamin B12 (such as eggs, milk, cheese, and fortified cereals) which support blood cell production including platelets.
- Eat folate-rich foods like green leafy vegetables, beef liver, and fortified grains that promote healthy cell division and platelet formation.
- Consume foods high in iron such as pomegranate, lentils, raisins, and red meat, which help prevent anemia and support platelet production.
- Include vitamin C-rich fruits like amla, kiwi, oranges, and strawberries to enhance iron absorption and platelet function.
- Use natural platelet boosters like papaya leaf extract and aloe vera, which have shown benefits in raising platelet count, particularly in conditions like dengue.
- Other helpful foods include omega-3 fatty acid sources (salmon oil, walnuts), pumpkin, carrots, berries, and wheatgrass juice.
- Stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet to support overall blood health and immune function.
These natural remedies should complement medical advice and treatment as needed.
