When your doctor mentions “blood increasing food,” they’re typically referring to foods rich in iron and those that help increase the body’s production of red blood cells. Iron is crucial for blood production, and low levels can cause fatigue and dizziness, common signs of anemia. Red meat like beef is a well-known source because it’s high in heme iron, which is more easily absorbed by our bodies than non-heme iron found in plants. If organ meats aren’t appealing, that’s understandable; there are other options like poultry or fish that are also rich in heme iron. Leafy greens, including spinach, as well as lentils and chickpeas, are indeed good sources of non-heme iron. Combining these with foods high in vitamin C, like oranges, strawberries, or bell peppers, can increase non-heme iron absorption, hence your doctor’s suggestion to pair iron-rich foods with vitamin C-rich foods like orange juice is spot on. If you’re not feeling better, ensure you’re getting enough iron by varying your diet and, if necessary, consider an iron supplement, but only after consulting your doctor to avoid excess iron intake, which can be harmful. Balance is important. Remember, things like coffee or tea with meals can inhibit iron absorption, so it’s best to drink those between meals. You aren’t risking too much by increasing these foods in moderation, but persistent symptoms should be discussed with your healthcare provider to rule out other conditions or to adjust your dietary strategy.
