Postpartum mothers are prone to anemia due to the loss of blood during labor. Anemia prevention by pharmacology and non-pharmacology. Management of anemia in a non-pharmacological way by consuming iron-containing foods such as beets. Beets contain iron, vitamin B12 and vitamin C, so they are believed to increase postpartum maternal hemoglobin. Objective: To explain the effect of beetroot ice cream on hemoglobin levels in anemic postpartum mothers who get 11 gr of beetroot ice cream with Fe tablet supplementation.
