what foods will bring iron levels up?
Foods poor in iron generally have a noticeable lack of pigment. With a few exceptions, such as the potato and enriched white bread, a rule-of-thumb is that white foods are not good builders of red blood cells. Foods to focus on are: 1  Beet greens. 2  Chard. 3  Chicken. 4  Clams. 5  Dates. 6  Dried apricots and peaches. 7  Dried beans or peas.
