blood increasing food - #27889
I am really confuse about this whole idea of blood increasing food because I've been feeling really fatigued and dizzy lately. My doctor said my iron levels were low and suggested I eat more blood increasing food. But honestly, what exactly counts as blood increasing food? I thought just eating red meat would do the trick, but then someone told me leafy greens like spinach are also good. I mean, how does that even work? I started to include more foods like lentils and chickpeas in my meals, but I don’t feel any better. I also checked out beef and organ meats, but I gotta admit they kind of gross me out. Is there a like a list of the best blood increasing food I should be focusing on or any tips on how to prepare them? Do things like vitamin C actually help enhance absorption? I've been trying to have orange juice with my meals but then I wonder is that enuf? Or is there a risk of eating too much of those blood increasing food? Some days I just feel overwhelmed by it all. Any advice or experience would be super appreciated!
