Hi all

I was just wondering abt the intake of iron rich food in our diet. My haemoglobin has been varying from 13.8 to 11.6 and recently it was 10.5 which is below the norm.

Sowmya Roops replied. Hi Sowmya..dont worry..there are lot of iron rich food that you can take on a daily basis which should fill that gap..things like cereals, green leafy vegetables, legumes, nuts, oilseeds, jaggery and dried fruits. If you are a non-vegetarian, eat liver, meat, poultry and fish.
Also there are somethings called as Iron Absorption Enhancers which helps in absorbing the iron to the body, like:
Meat/fish/poultry
Fruits: Orange, Orange Juice, cantaloupe, strawberries, grapefruit etc
Vegetables: Broccoli, brussels sprouts, tomato, tomato juice, potato, green & red peppers

All the best and take care..
