If yes, then there may be iron deficiency in your body. Iron deficiency is a common problem in women. Our body needs iron to make hemoglobin. When there is a lack of blood it is called anemia. In case of iron deficiency, iron-rich foods should be eaten. Here we are telling you about some such foods, which can increase iron levels if eaten continuously for 1 week. Ayurvedic doctor Deeksha is giving detailed information about this. She is the founder of Ayurvedic products brand The Kadamba Tree and a BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurveda Medicine) doctor.
