- Reduce nutritional deficiencies - people need to eat a varied diet to ensure they have enough of all the vitamins and minerals especially and avoid anaemia due to a deficiency of nutrients

- Regular blood tests - people who have already been diagnosed with anaemia and feel the symptoms returning again, should have regular blood tests to ensure their anaemia is not longer affecting them
- Reduce doctor visits - people who have anaemia that is due to a genetic problem or auto-immune dysfunction need to see their doctor regularly to manage their condition, which while not curable, can often be managed successfully to try to ensure some good quality of life
