Abstract
Adolescence is a time of intense physical growth. It is also a stage of stress and strain. Most of them are having poor access to proper health care, nutrition and education. All adolescents girls are at higher risk for iron deficiency anaemia therefore prevention of this anaemia in these adolescent girls is very important. Iron deficiency anaemia is a chronic hypo chromic, microcytic anemia resulting from an insufficient supply of iron in the body, without iron. It is necessary to improve the hemoglobin level for preventing anemia. Beetroot juice is particularly beneficial as an anemia remedy for women, children and teenagers. In this study a quasi-experimental, non-randomized pretest –posttest design control group was adopted. Purposive sampling technique was used to select each 30 samples in experimental and control group who fulfilled the inclusive criteria. The freshly prepared beetroot juice was administered to the samples for 30days in mid-morning. Observational checklist was used for assessing the signs and symptoms of iron deficiency anaemia and Pre and Posttest level of haemoglobin is assessed by sahli‟s hemoglobinometer method.The data analysis was done by using descriptive and inferential statistics. It was found that there was a significant improvement in the level of hemoglobin after giving the beetroot juice. The effectiveness of beetroot juice was found to be t=36.812, p<0.0001
