Iron rich food?

Question

What kinds of foods are best to increase iron levels? I'm 5 1/2 weeks pregnant and bruising like crazy even while taking my prenatal.

Answer

Bruising is often a sign of low vitamin c or k - not necessarily iron :) vitamin k is in leafy greens along with iron and vitamin c in lots of fruits and veg.

Answer

Red meat is best if you can! spinach, and some other greens are high in iron too, and lots of cereals arw fortified with iron. Stay away from liver though, while high in iron/its also high in vitamin A and my doctor told me that wasn't good.

Answer

Talk to your OB first. Bruising could be from other deficiencies and you don't want to overdo iron while pregnant.

Answer

My irons a little low I had to purchase liquid chlorophyll to take daily along with my prenatal. Foods like kale, broccoli, spinach, red meat, ect contain iron.
