Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Iron deficiency can be due to low intake of iron, or poor absorption of iron. I would advice you take green leafy vegetables, tomato, papaya in food. Also i would advice you to take iron tablet with your doctor's consult. And also take fruit juice. Do not take iron with milk as it prevent its absorption.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
