After I passed out of 12th std, I went for my first health check up and discovered that I was anemic. It means my haemoglobin levels are at an all time low due to poor iron supply. Since then I have taken to eating iron rich foods as often as possible and I have seen a remarkable improvement.
Dates-I absolutely loath this food item, but it it supposed to be really rich in iron and hence the first preference!
Prunes-Though they are a bit tangy they are quite yummy when you get to eat a dried and seedless variety of prunes.
Figs are a great health food, containing many vital minerals and vitamins as well as contributing to your daily portions of fruit and veg. Two minerals found in figs that are particularly beneficial to women's health are iron
Channa- Small amounts of boiled channa or sundal is extremely good for women's health! So your mother to whip up a sundal that you can have for breakfast.
Flax seeds are a good source of Omega-3 fatty acids and have been linked to reduced risk of breast cancer and heart disease. The seeds' anti-inflammatory properties are also good for preventing arthritis, while their digestive benefits can help irritable bowel syndrome; two painful conditions which are more prevalent in women than men
So make sure these food items are part of your diet and prevent anemia!
