what to eat in anemia - #37811
I am really trying to get my anemia under control, and I feel like I'm kinda lost here. Like, I recently went for a blood test, and the doctor confirmed that yes, I have anemia - and gave me some iron supplements but didn't really say much about food. I know that what to eat in anemia is super important and all, but every website seems to say something different! One says I should load up on red meat, but I'm not a big fan, and other sources say leafy greens. I’m a bit overwhelmed honestly. I’ve been feeling super tired and fatigued all the time, and my skin looks kinda pale, which is not great... I've tried eating more spinach, and I've added beans to my meals, but I keep wondering am I missing something? Like, what to eat in anemia varies a lot, right? Do I need to mix different foods for better absorption or stick to the basics? Oh, and someone mentioned that vitamin C can help too, but do I need to like, drink orange juice with every meal? Or is that overkill? Trying to get my energy back has been a struggle, and I could really use some clarity on what to eat in anemia! Thanks!

First, it’s key to understand that addressing anemia isn’t just about increasing iron intake, but also ensuring your body absorbs it efficiently. Ayurveda sees anemia, known as “Pandu,” as an interplay of dosha imbalances, particularly Pitta and Vata, affecting blood tissue (Rakta dhatu). For your situation, balancing these doshas through diet can help energize your body and improve absorption.
Start by focusing on foods rich in iron that are easily digestible. Spinach and beans you’ve been consuming are good, but non-heme iron (plant-based iron) can be less bioavailable. Combine them with vitamin C sources to enhance absorption - like tomatoes or squeeze some lemon juice over meals. Drinking orange juice isn’t overkill, but doesn’t need to be with every meal—just pair with iron-rich foods when convenient.
Include black sesame seeds and raisins in your diet—soaked overnight, these can be eaten in the morning. Use jaggery instead of white sugar as a sweetener as it is rich in iron. Cook meals with iron utensils if possible; they may add traces of iron into your food. From an Ayurvedic perspective, consider foods like pomegranate and beetroot juice—they’re not only high in iron, but also revitalize your energy.
Avoid excessive consumption of tea and coffee, which can impair iron absorption. Instead, sip on herbal teas, like Tulsi or ginger, which can support digestion and iron uptake. Also, prepare a mix of fresh carrot and beetroot juice for daily consumption. These stimulate liver function and enhance blood quality, addressing root causes of anemia.
Remember to be consistent, any change in diet and lifestyle takes time. Following these pointers alongside your supplements can help uplift your energy and vitality over time, giving your body what it needs to tackle anemia efficiently.
