    Iron Rich Diet: Consuming iron rich food is one of the best options to meet the daily need of iron in the body.

That is why it is said – “a balanced diet is the best way to be healthy”.

They must be taken under the strict supervision of the doctors. In addition, they are prescribed to women during pregnancy as the need of iron increases suddenly.
    Vitamin C: This vitamin helps in proper absorption of iron in the body. Some of the food that helps in replenishing the level of this vitamin is strawberries, kiwi, oranges, green pepper, grapefruit, tomato and their juices etc. 
    Blood transfusion: During severe iron deficiency, blood transfusion is one of the best options to treat the person. However, this is a short term treatment option hence must be given in regular intervals.
