  1. Eat iron-rich foods such as meat, chicken, fish, eggs, dried beans and fortified grains. The form of iron in meat products, called heme, is more easily absorbed than the iron in vegetables. If you are anemic and you ordinarily eat meat, increasing the amount of meat you consume is the easiest way to increase the iron your body receives.
  2. Eat foods high in folic acid, such as dried beans, dark green leafy vegetables, wheat germ and orange juice.
  3. Eat vitamin C-rich foods such as citrus fruits and fresh, raw vegetables.
  4. Cook in cast iron pots as this can add up to 80% more iron to your food.
  5. Take your prenatal multivitamin and mineral pill which contains extra folate.
