To increase the level of iron in the blood, first of all, you need to eat foods that contain a lot of iron. Dietary iron is of two types – heme iron and non-heme iron. Heme iron is found in fish, meat and eggs. About 40 percent of this type of iron can be directly absorbed by the body. Non-heme iron is available from plant foods. However, not all iron can be absorbed by the body. So besides eating iron-rich foods, you need to make sure that the body can absorb it. For example, you can add two drops of lemon juice while eating fried vegetables with rice. It will improve the absorption of iron in the body. You can also eat vegetables like spinach, broccoli, pulses, beans, currants, nuts, various types of seeds, brown rice, various cereals or grains, whole wheat. Eating foods rich in vitamin A and C also helps the body absorb iron.
