went to give blood, but had a lack of IRON, what can i eat that is high in iron?

Question:

i was told that drinking tea will not let your body absorb iron, is this true, thats all i drink is tea.

Answers:
If you take iron pills, you will get terrible constipation. Do it the natural way -- by eating the right foods. Eat a baby spinash salad every night -- they are so yummy, just like spring mix salads, add tomatoes and you won't notice that it's spinach. See, it's old spinach that is gross. Baby spinach is delicious!

Try to eat some quality red meat, like a steak, once a week.

Eat kidney beans if you like them. Eat radishes --maybe you want to grab one and slice it really thin slices and throw it into your spinach salad. It adds a nice sharp flavor to it.

Most, if not all meat, is loaded with iron and dark green leafy vegetables. Just don't cook the veges to long or the iron will be cooked right out of them. Go to the store and you can buy Iron Supplements that you take 1-2 tablets/day. But be careful if you do that because it can cause some wicked constipation.

Green vegetables are high in iron. Spinach, Romaine lettuce, broccoli, veggies with a dark green color will raise the level of iron in your system. You should also speak to a doctor. if you have a serious iron deficiency he/she may prescribe you an iron supplement.

Bananas! Eat them everyday and you'll never have Iron deficiency. Spinach and Broccoli

Blackstrap Molasses is very high in iron, liver and beef also. Spinach, raisins. Don't know if tea blocks iron, but it would be very helpful to drink some water.

Taking iron supplement pills and eating more foods high in iron will correct most cases of iron deficiency anemia. You usually take iron pills 1 to 3 times a day. To get the most benefit from the pills, take them with vitamin C (ascorbic acid) pills or orange juice. Vitamin C helps your body absorb more iron.

Most people start to feel better within a few days of beginning treatment. Even though you feel better, you will need to keep taking the pills for several months to build up your iron stores. Sometimes it takes up to 6 months of treatment with iron supplements before iron levels return to normal.
