Many people experience anemia without even knowing it, however, the most common symptoms are overall fatigue and lack of energy. If you were diagnosed with iron-deficiency anemia, this means that your body doesn't get enough iron to build hemoglobin and red blood cells, which certainly affects your health and daily activities.

To fight anemia, you need to consume iron-rich foods, and support your diet with citrus juice and vitamin C, as this helps with your body's absorption of iron. Here's a list with the top iron-rich foods, that will help you cure your iron-deficiency anemia and lead a healthier lifestyle.

1. Meat and Eggs
To help your body get the iron it needs, you need to eat meat. Your body will absorb the most iron from red meats, so add beef and lamb to your daily diet. Also, make sure to include liver too, as liver is very rich in iron and it's one of the best sources of iron to treat anemia.

2. Fish

If you like shrimps, tuna and sardine, then you're lucky, as they're rich in iron. Also, oysters are very rich in iron, so make sure to eat them every now and then to help your body fight anemia.

3. Vegetables

Of course, all vegetables are so good for your body. However, the vegetables that are so rich in iron, which you should eat more of, include spinach, sweet potato, broccoli, peas, and beetroot.

4. Fruits

Fruits are so nutritious, and they have loads of benefits to our bodies. Some fruits are rich in iron, and they help you fight iron deficiency, such as watermelons, peaches, strawberries. Also dry fruits are rich in iron, like dates, raisins, and figs.

5. Bread and Carbs
As you have your main meal every day, make sure to include bread and any type of carbs. The healthiest carbs you can have to help you fight your iron deficiency are brown bread, oats, brown rice, and generally, the food that contains wheat.

6. Legumes

If you really want to fight your iron deficiency, try to include more legumes in your diet. Why don't you have more lentils, chickpeas, soybeans, and beans? They will all help you boost your iron levels.

7. Nuts and Seeds

Nuts are considered a great snack, and they help you increase your iron in-take. Try peanuts, almonds or pistachios. However, make sure you have a small portion, just a handful every day. Also, try sunflower seeds, flax-seed and sesame seeds, as they will help you fight your iron deficiency.
