My hb came low in last report, doctor ne iron start kar diya. But i want to bring it up with food bhi. Im 20 weeks. What helped you raise it naturally yaar?
Haan, green leafy vegetables like methi and palak are super helpful, na. Try to make beetroot raita also, it tastes good and is great for blood. But do check with your doctor if you need a higher dose of iron.
Actually, beetroot and pomegranate juice worked like magic for me, yaar. Try to have it fresh every day. Also, don't miss your iron tablets because diet alone is sometimes not enough.
I made sure to eat lots of palak paneer and dates to keep my haemoglobin up! It was a great excuse to indulge in tasty home-cooked meals. Also, apple slices with peanut butter are amazing for iron.
My doctor told me that iron absorption increases if you take your iron supplement with vitamin C, like a glass of lemon water. She also advised avoiding tea or coffee right after meals because they block iron absorption.
When I was staying at my parents' house, my mom used to make fresh beetroot and carrot juice for me daily. It really helped boost my Hb levels safely along with my regular prenatal vitamins.
In my home, my mother-in-law used to give me dry figs and dates soaked in milk every morning. It really helped, but please continue taking the iron capsules prescribed by your doctor as they are the most important.
