Laxmi's Nutritional Transformation
Laxmi, a shy but regular student, had been experiencing tiredness and low energy. Her class teacher noticed her pale complexion and told School admin about it. A hemoglobin test got done and revealed a shocking low 4.3 count.
Her class teacher counseled Laxmi's parents. Laxmi's family has also made a permanent switch to using iron utensils, ensuring a healthier future for them.
In school, Laxmi received a nutritional support, including daily doses of dates, grams, almonds, and carrots etc.
Within a year, Laxmi's hemoglobin count increased from 4.3 to 12.7. Her health transformation has also made her more focused on her studies, and she now attends classes regularly.
