What to consume if you have anemia
• Organ meats, beef and other meats, poultry, fish, and egg yolks for iron and vitamin B12.
• Dried beans and peas, dates, raisins, dried apricots, nuts, seeds, and blackstrap
molasses
• Iron-enriched breads and cereals.
• Citrus fruits and other good sources of
vitamin C—including orange juice—which
increase the body’s iron absorption.
