My recent report showed my hemoglobin is on the lower side and doc said i need more iron. Apart from the tablets i want to add good iron foods in my diet naturally. What all do u ladies eat for this? share what worked for u.
Palak, methi, beetroot, dates, raisins, jaggery and if you eat non veg then liver and red meat. Have vitamin C foods alongside to absorb iron better. Dont skip the iron tablets your gynac gave though, food alone often isnt enough.
Amma made me eat lots of dark leafy greens, ragi, dates and jaggery for iron. She'd add a bit of lemon so it absorbs better, which my doctor agreed with. Along with your prescribed iron tablets, food helps a good deal.
I focused on greens, legumes and lean protein for iron since I had to watch sugar. Jaggery and dates I kept limited because of that. Pair iron foods with citrus and you absorb more, my dietician told me.
