Do you know that 3,500 million people in the world are
affected by iron deficiency?
In general, children and women in developing countries are
victims of anemia. To address this issue, the concept of iron fish emerged. The
"Lucky Iron Fish" project was developed by Canadian health workers in
Cambodia in 2008.
Dr. Christopher Charles and his team discovered the
revolutionary solution for iron deficiency in Cambodia, as it is the country
where nearly half the population has iron deficiency. This project aimed to
provide a cheap source of iron. Dr. Charles's three-inch iron fish weighs about
200 grams and provides 75% of the recommended daily intake of iron for adults
and aims to dilute the problem of iron deficiency.
The project has shown surprising results in Cambodia. Let's
find out some more interesting facts related to iron fish.
