Abstract:
The most common anemia in the world is the one as the result of iron deficiency in the body. One of the health problems that appears to be a disruption to female workers is the nutritional deficiency anemia. This problem has an impact on the death of mothers and children, as well as on low achievement and decreased work productivity, especially for women who have multiple roles. Anemia mostly occurs in women of childbearing age, which is about 30.2% of 1.62 billion people. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Beta Vulgaris juice and Amaranthus Tricolor L juice on increasing Hb levels. This type of research was a quasi-experiment study with a pre-test and post-test control group design. The study used a total sampling technique with a sample of 30 teachers that consumed the Beta Vulgaris juice and the Amaranthus Tricolor L juice for 14 days. The results showed that there are significant increased levels of Haemoglobin after the intake of Beta Vulgaris juice and the Amara
nthus Tricolor L juice by 1.03 gr/dL and 1, 34gr/dL, respectively. Individuals are implored to consume either Beta Vulgaris juice or Amaranthus Tricolor L juice regularly to experience the benefit of intaking it on increasing the Hb levels.
