10. Peanut Butter
Who doesn’t love the taste of peanut butter?! Peanut butter is a fantastic source of iron and is easily assimilated by the body. There are dozens of ways to incorporate peanut butter into your daily diet, too! Add some peanut butter to your morning toast, have a classic PB and J sandwich on whole wheat bread for lunch, add some to your yogurt, dip a banana in peanut butter, or eat it right out of the jar! Two tablespoons of peanut butter have 0.6 mgs of iron.
11. Eggs
Eggs are a great tasting way to get protein. They are also loaded with vitamins and antioxidants that will help your body deal with anemia. One large egg has 1mg of iron. Eggs are super easy to add to any diet. Don’t worry about that old wives tale about eggs raising your cholesterol levels; eggs contain cholesterol, but it doesn’t have anything to do with blood cholesterol, so feel free to have a couple for breakfast, chop up a couple for your salad, add them to rice dishes or mix them into your stir-fry.
12. Whole Grain Bread
Just one slice of whole grain bread will give you 6 percent of your daily requirement of iron. Whole grain bread is a very good source of non-heme iron, which will help your body effectively fight iron deficiency. Replace that nutrient dead white bread with healthy whole grain bread for an added iron boost every day.
