In addition, you should eat foods that are sources of iron. These include red meat, liver, oysters, raisins, lentils, tofu cheese, and oatmeal.
However, you can eat foods rich in iron as much as you like; it will not be absorbed if a person does not receive vitamin C. Therefore, meat and fish dishes should be eaten with kiwi and oranges.
Folate should also be present in the menu of a person suffering from anemia. Without folate, normal platelet division is impossible. The best source of this vitamin is lentils.
Of course, some products will have to be excluded from the menu. These include: tangerines, nuts, spinach, chocolate, berries, tea, bran, beans. All of them are sources of oxalates, which make it difficult for the body to absorb iron molecules.
