Take a multi vitamin, with added iron.  Iron supplements can cause medical problems (such as constipation) so, you should consult a doctor before taking a supplement.  Eat foods high in iron, such as leafy green vegetables, broccoli, watermelon (yep, watermelon), and go to the library or book store and browse through the diet and nutrition section.

i doubt it, fruit doesnt usually have iron in it. whole grain/wheat products (cereals like raisin bran, wheaties, whole grain bread, etc) and meat (especially organ meats like liver) are usually pretty rich in iron (but not that good for you)\n\nupdate: i looked it up, they have about 2% of your daily recommended iron which is a very small amount, i wouldnt call them "iron rich"\n\n http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts-B00001-01c20Wm.html

Well my problem at first was discovering that I was limiting myself and that I needed more protein, easily enough remedied by your local holistic store, which can provide you with the 'correct' protein powder in which to make a drink out of or smoothie...making it doubly wonderful....Next was iron..and I had to break down and purchase the 'right' vitamin complex for my body type and situation, then the B vitamins often hailing from foods simply aren't enough and adding Selenium enacts the B vitamins and E as well to activate more fully. There, I hope that this helps. Oh! And please be sure that you have the correct supplements for the Omegas that will be necessary for you, but it it's up to you and your health Food manager or Dietitian. Please as well consult your doctor about this....they balk at times...just look for one into Alternative Medicine. I do so hope that this helps you! ~ Bon Apetit!!!!!!!

Tea as a whole can hinder the absorption of Iron, so be careful.  If you're taking a suppliment, a cup shouldn't be a problem, though.

This is going to sound really old fashioned but it does work. \nI cannot take iron pills or supplements, let's just say they don't agree with me. The easiest way I found to boost iron intake without pills or eating greens or liver (yuk) is by using cast iron cookware. \n\nSounds crazy but it does work.

You really need to watch your intake of acidic foods. \n\nThere are certain foods that are beneficial and certain you should avoid.\n\nDrink sufficient fluids -- your weight divided by 2 = ounces per day. Take fluids between meals, using reverse osmosis purified water, unsweetened juices, and herbal beverages. Try liquid chlorophyll in pure water, it is delicious and refreshing! \n\n*A minimum of 50% of your food should be alive -- fresh, raw, unprocessed. Dead food cannot build strong bodies. Eat foods in season and foods that can spoil. (But eat them before they spoil, of course!)More is preferable! \n\n*Eliminate foods used in a microwave. Try to eliminate using the microwave for anything you eat or drink.\n\n*Eliminate processed sugars and white flour and any foods that contains these; i.e., read labels. \nSubstitute whole grain foods for white -- stone ground whole wheat, brown rice, etc. \n\n*Avoid all stimulants. They are very hard on the adrenal glands. (Coffee, cigarettes, chocolate, cola drinks, alcohol, aspirin, black tea -- herbal tea acceptable.) \n\n*It is easier on your digestive system if you eat fruit by itself. Fruit digests faster than any other type of food. Starches and proteins do not combine well either. \n\n*Eat two-thirds of your daily food intake before mid-afternoon if possible. It is best to use protein in the morning and at noon, not in the evening. \n\n*Eliminate fried foods of all kinds -- bake, roast, or steam instead. \n\n*Avoid pork and any product containing pork -- lunch meats, hot dogs, ham, bacon, sausage, etc. Experts feel that the parasites in pork are heat-resistant. \n\n*Do not use aluminum cookware. \n\n*Replace table salt with Vegetable Seasoning Broth, kelp or B-Salt. Table salt -- sodium chloride -- is an imbalanced chemical which can cause health problems. \n\n*Replace red meat with fish or fowl whenever possible. \n\n*Substitute leaf lettuce -- Romaine, red or green leaf, or butter for head lettuce which has very little food value and is toxic in the colon. \nTry to add cultured products, natural yogurt & keifer (not sweetened) to your diet to help your digestive system. Also add acidophilus supplements to your regimen to increase friendly bacteria in your intestines and support your immune system. \n\n\n*70% of your daily food intake should be selected from alkaline-forming list. 30% from the acid-forming list. \n\nTo accomplish this, you may have: \n5 vegetables* \n2 fruits \n2 starches -- or -- 1 starch \n1 protein 2 proteins\n\nAcid - Forming Foods \nMeat \nFowl \nEggs \nBread\nNuts \nCitrus juices \nFish \nCheese \nRice \nGrains (cereal) \nSugar \nAlkali - Forming Foods \n\nFruit juices/except citrus \nVegetable juices \nRaw Honey \nSoybeans \nPotatoes \n*Liquid Chlorophyll - Chloropyll may be used as a vegetable.\nGoat milk \nsprouted seeds \n\nMe - fitness expert, nutrition and life coach \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSoda of ay kind is one of the worst things you can put into your body.\nOne can of soda has about 10 teaspoons of sugar, 150 calories, 30 to 55 mg of caffeine, and is loaded with artificial food colors and sulphites. I can't think of any good reason to ever have it. The diet varieties are also problematic as they are filled with harmful artificial sweeteners like aspartame.\n\nAspartame has been linked to \nBirth Defects \nCancer (Brain Cancer) \nDiabetes \nEmotional Disorders \nEpilepsy/Seizures\n\nSplenda is just as bad in fact Splenda is one of the worse things you could ever put in your body. It sugar and chlorine mixed together forming a chemical called sucralose.\n\nSplenda's Sour Side Effects\n\nShrunken thymus glands (up to 40 percent shrinkage) \nEnlarged liver and kidneys \nAtrophy of lymph follicles in the spleen and thymus \nReduced growth rate \nDecreased red blood cell count \nDiarrhea \n\nStudies have linked soda to osteoporosis, obesity, tooth decay and heart disease, yet the average American drinks an estimated 56 gallons of soft drinks each year.

What foods provide iron?\nThere are two forms of dietary iron: heme and nonheme. Heme iron is derived from hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that delivers oxygen to cells. Heme iron is found in animal foods that originally contained hemoglobin, such as red meats, fish, and poultry. Iron in plant foods such as lentils and beans is arranged in a chemical structure called nonheme iron [9]. This is the form of iron added to iron-enriched and iron-fortified foods. Heme iron is absorbed better than nonheme iron, but most dietary iron is nonheme iron [8]. A variety of heme and nonheme sources of iron are listed in Tables 1 and 2. \n\nTable 1: Selected Food Sources of Heme Iron [10]Food Milligrams \nper serving % DV* \nChicken liver, cooked, 3½ ounces 12.8 70 \nOysters, breaded and fried, 6 pieces 4.5 25 \nBeef, chuck, lean only, braised, 3 ounces 3.2 20 \nClams, breaded, fried, ¾ cup 3.0 15 \nBeef, tenderloin, roasted, 3 ounces  3.0 15 \nTurkey, dark meat, roasted, 3½ ounces 2.3 10 \nBeef, eye of round, roasted, 3 ounces 2.2 10 \nTurkey, light meat, roasted, 3½ ounces 1.6 8 \nChicken, leg, meat only, roasted, 3½ ounces 1.3 6 \nTuna, fresh bluefin, cooked, dry heat, 3 ounces 1.1 6 \nChicken, breast, roasted, 3 ounces 1.1 6 \nHalibut, cooked, dry heat, 3 ounces 0.9 6 \nCrab, blue crab, cooked, moist heat, 3 ounces 0.8 4 \nPork, loin, broiled, 3 ounces 0.8 4 \nTuna, white, canned in water, 3 ounces 0.8 4 \nShrimp, mixed species, cooked, moist heat, 4 large 0.7 4 \n\n\nTable 2: Selected Food Sources of Nonheme Iron [10]Food Milligrams \nper serving % DV* \nReady-to-eat cereal, 100% iron fortified, ¾ cup  18.0 100 \nOatmeal, instant, fortified, prepared with water, 1 cup 10.0 60 \nSoybeans, mature, boiled, 1 cup  8.8 50 \nLentils, boiled, 1 cup 6.6 35 \nBeans, kidney, mature, boiled, 1 cup 5.2 25 \nBeans, lima, large, mature, boiled, 1 cup 4.5 25 \nBeans, navy, mature, boiled, 1 cup 4.5 25 \nReady-to-eat cereal, 25% iron fortified, ¾ cup 4.5 25 \nBeans, black, mature, boiled, 1 cup 3.6 20 \nBeans, pinto, mature, boiled, 1 cup  3.6 20 \nMolasses, blackstrap, 1 tablespoon 3.5 20 \nTofu, raw, firm, ½ cup 3.4 20 \nSpinach, boiled, drained, ½ cup 3.2 20 \nSpinach, canned, drained solids ½ cup 2.5 10 \nBlack-eyed peas (cowpeas), boiled, 1 cup 1.8 10 \nSpinach, frozen, chopped, boiled ½ cup 1.9 10 \nGrits, white, enriched, quick, prepared with water, 1 cup 1.5 8 \nRaisins, seedless, packed, ½ cup 1.5 8 \nWhole wheat bread, 1 slice 0.9 6 \nWhite bread, enriched, 1 slice 0.9 6

Don't eat junk food (McDonalds, etc.) because it will poison you.  Bread and grains should work.  Also, you should exercise your legs (ride a bicycle, for example) to gain some muscles.

I'd see a doctor about this, but do not mix calcium foods / drinks when taking iron (i.e. milk).  Calcium blocks the absorption of iron.  Also, try consuming vitamin C when you take in iron, the enhances the absorption of iron.  It is hard to absort from vegetables.  Meats / fishes tend to be easy sources of iron.\n\nYou may also want to supplement with B-12 and Zinc, as they tend to go hand and hand with iron deficiencies.\n\nBut by all means, see a doctor for a blood test to absolutely verify we are dealing with an iron deficiency.\n\nGood luck.

The most common form of anemia is iron-deficiancy anemia.  You didn't specify if you have that or another form of anemia, so I will base my answer on the most common form.  If you have iron deficiancy anemia, you need to focus on foods that are high in iron.  Here are some examples of iron rich foods:\n\nMeats: Lean beef, lean pork, skinned poultry, shellfish, fish, liver, organ meats.\n\nEgg yolks: Rich in iron, but very high in cholesterol and saturated fat.\n\nDried beans or peas: Pinto, kidney, lima, navy, chick peas, black-eyed peas, lentils, split peas, green peas.\n\nGreen leafy vegetables: Spinach, kale, collards, beet greens, chard, broccoli.\n\nDried fruits: Raisins, prunes, figs, dates, dried peaches, dried apricots.\n\nNuts and peanut butter\n\nGrains: Iron fortified cereals (read labels), enriched breads, whole grain breads.
