Anemia and Nutrition: A Complete Guide to Naturally Increasing Iron in the Blood

Anemia – the silent enemy of modern man

Anemia is one of the most common health conditions today, and it can have serious consequences if not treated promptly. It is characterized by a reduced number of red blood cells or a low concentration of hemoglobin, which directly affects the supply of oxygen to tissues.

If you feel tired, listless, have cold hands and feet, and a rapid heartbeat, it may be time to check your blood iron levels.

This guide provides a detailed overview of natural methods for increasing iron, with a special focus on nutrition, supplements, and daily protocols.

What is anemia and how does it occur?

Anemia occurs when the body does not produce enough red blood cells or when they do not contain enough hemoglobin. The most common cause is iron deficiency, but it can also be a result of vitamin B12 deficiency, folic acid deficiency, chronic diseases, or blood loss.

Typical symptoms:

• Fatigue and exhaustion
• Pale skin
• Shortness of breath
• Heart palpitations
• Brittle nails
• Loss of appetite

The key role of iron in the body

Iron is an essential mineral that:

• Participates in the transport of oxygen via hemoglobin
• Supports immunity
• Helps produce energy in mitochondria

The body cannot produce iron on its own, but must ingest it through food and supplements. Therefore, nutrition is the basic step towards recovery from anemia.

Types of iron in the diet

There are two types of iron:

1. Heme iron: Found in foods of animal origin (well absorbed)
2. Non-heme iron: Found in plants (less absorption, but beneficial in combination with vitamin C)

Absorption depends on the combination of foods, gut health, and the presence of inhibitors such as tannins, calcium, or phytic acid.

Foods rich in iron

Animal sources (heme iron):

• Veal liver – 6.1 mg
• Beefsteak – 2.7 mg
• Sardines in oil – 2.9 mg

Plant sources (non-heme iron):

• Spinach – 3.6 mg
• Lentils – 3.3 mg
• Pumpkin (seeds) – 8.8 mg
• Sesame – 10.4 mg
• Tofu – 5.4 mg
• Dried apricots – 6.3 mg

Foods that improve iron absorption

• Citrus fruits – vitamin C
• Red pepper – vitamin C
• Sauerkraut – probiotics + vitamin C
• Broccoli sprouts – sulforaphane + enzymes
• Fermented foods – probiotic flora

Foods that interfere with iron absorption

• Black tea, coffee – tannins
• Milk and dairy products – calcium
• Whole grains – phytates
• Soy (unfermented) – phytic acid

Daily protocol for naturally increasing iron

Morning (before breakfast)

• 1 dose of Spelt Juice (chlorophyll + enzymes)

Breakfast

• Oatmeal with dried fruit, pumpkin seeds, and orange juice

Snack

• Smoothie with spinach, kiwi, and lemon

Lunch

• Beef liver or chickpeas on salad + sauerkraut

Afternoon

• Nettle or hibiscus tea

Dinner

• Lentil soup + salad with red pepper and lemon juice

Additional natural supplements

• Nettle: Contains iron and vitamin C
• Maca powder: Boosts energy and blood count
• Beetroot: Traditional ally against anemia
• Chlorophyll: In the form of spelt or barley juice
• B12 and folic acid: For specific types of anemia

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about anemia and natural treatment

How quickly can the effects of a natural approach be felt?
More energy can be felt after 7–10 days. It takes 4–6 weeks to repair the blood count.

Can plant-based foods replace meat in the treatment of anemia?
Yes, with the right combinations (plants + vitamin C), a plant-based diet can be very effective.

Can Spelt Juice be used daily?
Yes. It is recommended daily, ideally on an empty stomach.

What tests should be done if anemia is suspected?

• Blood count (Hb, Hct)
• Sideremia (Fe in serum)
• Ferritin
• TIBC and transferrin
• B12 and folic acid

Anemia does not have to be a chronic problem.

A balanced diet rich in natural sources of iron, with supplements such as vitamin C and cold-pressed spelt juice, can significantly improve blood count and overall energy.

Do not forget: nature has a solution, you just need to know where to look.
