Answer #1

Good sources of iron include:

meat green vegetables dried fruit pulses, such as chick peas and lentils foods that are fortified with iron, such as some breakfast cereals and bread (fortified means that iron has been added during manufacturing)

It’s thought that vitamin C might help you to absorb iron, so if you have a glass of orange juice with your meal it may help to improve your levels of iron. You could also eat foods containing vitamin C at the same time as eating foods containing iron. Good sources of vitamin C include peppers, sweet potatoes, oranges and kiwi fruit.

What you drink affects how your body will absorb iron. Tea and coffee contain substances called polyphenols that can bind with iron and make it harder for your body to absorb it. If you cut down on the amount of tea and coffee it could help to improve iron levels in your body.
