Hello, Thank you for writing to HCM, Brief answer - Low haemoglobin levels due to iron deficiency anaemia can be corrected by including iron rich sources in your diet. Explained Answer - 1. Leafy vegetables like spinach (palak) and fenugreek leaves (methi), beans and lentils like masoor daal, chole, moong daal, toor daal, urad daal, rajma. Asparagus (Shatwar) and sesame seeds (til) are other good sources of iron. Grains like barley (jav), rice, semolina (sooji), bajra and maize (makai) can also be included. You could use combination of any of these sources to cook delicious iron rich recipes. If not, munch on dried fruits such as almonds (badaam), dried peaches or raisins (manuka). If you’re a non-vegetarian, meat and fish are the best sources of iron for you. 2. If your haemoglobin count is low because your body is not producing sufficient red blood cells, then you could be deficient in folic acid, B complex vitamin that is required to make red blood cells. Sources of folic acid include lentils, dried beans, peas, Brussels sprouts (chota band gobi), banana, corn (makai), beets, pineapple and peanuts. (Note: If you are having more of Vitamin C sources then you’ll have to increase the intake of folic acid as well because Vitamin C causes excretion of folic acid from the body). 3. If you are deficient in iron you should avoid having calcium rich foods like milk and cheese. They block the absorption of iron. Don’t drink too much of coffee, tea and alcohol either. Hope you get idea from this and may it will helpful to you. Thanks & Regards, Gaurav Prajapati
