Iron is essential for proper oxygen transport by blood in the body, in other words, its essential to make the redblood cells in your body which in turn are needed to provide nutrition to the cells, provide oxygen and remove wastes and toxic gases from cells, deficiency can lead to the following symptoms...lethargy, tiredness, lack of concentration, dizziness and lightheadedness, lack of energy,irritability,lack of energy and interest in work, absentmindedness or inability to remember as concentration power reducess,headache, palpitations, breathelessness, lacklustre skin, dry hair, dry lips and cracked brittle nails.I would advise you to take an iron supplement available over the counter along with a multivitamin, prolonged iron deficiency can also interfere with your ovulation causing irregular periods with very scanty blood loss, and can also cause complete stoppage of menstruation. The simplest and cheapest way to ensure you get enough iron if you are too busy to eat a balanced meal is to take supplements, good luck

Eat a variety of "whole foods," with plenty of beans, nuts, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Avoid unhealthy foods like trans fats, which are usually listed as partially hydrogenated oils. Deep-fried foods often contain trans fats. Choose margarines that use nonhydrogenated oil, like Earth Balance or Smart Balance. Although a diet consisting of Coke and French fries is technically vegan, you can't be healthy if you eat nothing but junk food. Vitamin B12: Vitamin B12 is produced by bacteria, and some experts believe that vegetarians used to get plenty of this vitamin from bacteria in drinking water. Since drinking water is now treated with chemicals that kill the bacteria, it's important to make sure that you get enough vitamin B12 from fortified foods (like most brands of soy or rice milks, some breakfast cereals, and many brands of nutritional yeast,also eggs and milk) on a daily basis or by taking a sublingual B12 tablet of 10 mcg per day.


Iron-beans, dark green leafy vegetables (like spinach),whole grain breads, Also eat something with vitamin c when you eat something with iron, it increases absorption

Calcium-dark green leafy vegetables (spinach, broccoli, soymilk)

Protein-Isn't really hard to get, just eat a variety of foods, good sources are beans, brown rice, nuts, whole grain breads, soy foods

Omega-3 fatty acids-flax seeds/oil,walnuts,canola oil

Zinc-pumpkin seeds (best source), beans and lentils, yeast, nuts, seeds and whole grain cereals

Selenium-Brazil nuts are a particularly good source of selenium, so try to eat a couple every day. Eating a small bag of mixed unsalted nuts can be a convenient way to get your daily selenium intake, but make sure it contains Brazils. Bread and eggs also provide some selenium.

Vitamin D- Vitamin D, often called the sunshine vitamin, is another common deficiency in those not drinking vitamin D fortified milk. Synthetic vitamin D is added to both cow’s milk and most brands of soy milk today.

Vitamins A (beta carotene),C, K, E and Folate-variety of fruits and veggies

Iodine-Iodine is a trace mineral that's important for healthy thyroid function. Table salt is the most common and reliable source of iodine in Americans' diets. (However, sodium in processed foods usually does not contain iodine.) If you don't consume table salt, you can get iodine from a multivitamin or from kelp tablets.

i just found out i am anemic a few weeks ago...i went to the doctor and am now taking pills.
some iron high foods are: oatmeal (VERY HIGH...75%), cashews and lentils. just eating foods with iron doesnt work...you need to have viteman C in the same meal because it obsorbes the iron

one of the most common signes of anemia is ice eating

You're going to get sick if you're not on a healthy diet. You need a proper balance of nutrients to stay healthy.

What about your diet is unhealthy?
