Anemia: Ten Treatments to Consider

3. Sesame Seeds

Sesame seeds are a delicious and healthy option for treating anemia and its symptoms. They are known for their high iron content, and a quarter-cup of sesame seeds provides nearly 30 percent of your daily iron requirement. The good thing about sesame seeds is that they can be stored for a long time, and they can be conveniently eaten as a healthy snack. Before eating sesame seeds, it's important to let them soak for two hours before consumption. Then, mix two tablespoons of sesame seeds with a tablespoon of honey, and consume the resulting paste twice a day (as a spread or by itself).
