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.

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.
