    Hi Deepika

    ron rich foods like chicken, fish and green leafy vegetables like spinach,Methi leaves, drumstick leaves,Ragi, rice flakes,Corn flakes,rice bran,pear, pomegranate, peas,nuts.

    Vitamin C increases the uptake of iron , vit C rich foods like Amla,lemon,orange,sweet lime,Guava,etc,.
    Increase your intake of folate by adding these foods to your diet: green leafy vegetables, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, whole grains, wheatgerm, fortified breakfast cereal, avocados, egg yolks and melon.
    Reduce your consumption of foods that reduce iron-absorption or deplete your iron reserves. These foods include: tea, coffee, smoking,alcohol.
