If you believe you might have iron deficiency anemia consult your doctor to find the cause of the deficiency.
Iron supplements are usually needed during pregnancy and lactation.
Incorporate the foods rich in iron into your diet.
Children need extra iron during growth spurts for their muscle development. A healthy diet helps to ensure this.
If you are vegetarian you may need additional iron supplements/pills because grains/vegetables are not as readily absorbed into the body as meats are.
Important: iron pills should only be taken under doctor supervision. Too much iron can damage your liver and have other negative side affects.
Take daily multivitamins containing iron.
Vitamin C tablets or in citrus juices helps your body absorb iron from both animals and plants.
Avoid foods that block iron absorption such as coffee, tea, egg yolk, milk, fiber and soy proteins.
After a year and a half of retirement, the focus on what is important and what is not, is becoming much clearer as time passes by. At this point in time they are, keeping healthy, both in mind and body and being wise in our investments, so we can get a return and hopefully be able a little more comfortable in our later life.
