DIRECTION: For the Assertion (A) and Reason (R) given below, choose the correct alternative from the following:

Assertion (A): Eating egg yolks and liver helps in tackling cases of anaemia.

Reason (R): Egg yolks and liver are rich in chromium.

The correct answer is (A) is true, but (R) is false.

Explanation:

• Anaemia is a condition in which the number of red blood cells or the concentration of haemoglobin is lower than normal.
• Haemoglobin is required to carry oxygen, and if you have too few or abnormal red blood cells, or not enough haemoglobin, your blood's capacity to carry oxygen to the body's tissues will be reduced.
• Symptoms include fatigue, weakness, dizziness, and shortness of breath.
• The optimal haemoglobin concentration required to meet physiologic needs varies according to age, gender, elevation, smoking habits, and pregnancy status.
• The most common causes of anaemia are nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron deficiency, as well as folate, vitamin B12, and vitamin A deficiencies.
• Egg yolks are rich in iron, which is necessary for treating anaemia.
• Eggs contain 1.89 mg of iron, which increases energy and boosts the immune system.
• Liver is one of the most nutritionally dense foods on the planet, with significant amounts of iron, riboflavin, vitamin B12, vitamin A, and copper.
• Liver can help you meet your daily recommended amount of the majority of these vitamins and minerals, reducing your risk of nutrient deficiency.
