How Does One Increase Iron Levels?
I had abdominal surgery a year ago and I still can t get my iron levels back up. I eat red meat, broccoli and romaine lettuce almost daily. I am only sleeping about 6 hours a night and I exercise at least an hour five days a week. I don t want to take iron pills - then I have a whole different problem...

Hi
Thanks for using Healthcare.
Red meat.
Egg yolks.
Dark, leafy greens (spinach, collards)
Dried fruit (prunes, raisins)
Iron-enriched cereals and grains (check the labels)
Mollusks (oysters, clams, scallops)
Turkey or chicken giblets.
Beans, lentils, chick peas and soybeans.
This will help you get iron in body , after a diet drinking lime juice will help absorbtion of iron easily . drink plenty of water.
