If you generally feel weak and tired 24/7 even after chugging on energy drinks, you probably need to go get yourself checked as you might have anemia. Some other symptoms of anemia to confirm your doubt are tiredness, lethargy, heart palpitations, sensitivity towards cold, shortness of breath, chronic heartburn, increased sweating and vomiting. A diet rich in iron, vitamin C, folic acid and vitamin B12 is vital for anyone with anemia.

Though it is advised to receive medical help, you can speed up the recovery by including these superfoods in your diet to fight anemia like a soldier. Read on for food items other than the common beets or spinach.

1. Seafood

Seafood such as clams, scallops, salmon, tuna, mussels, cuttle fish, and oysters are all high in iron. You could make different dishes with these 3 times a week and feast on them.

2. Oats
