@firststep.nutrition: 10 THINGS I STARTED DOING TO IMPROVE MY IRON LEVELS🩸✨” 1. Prioritising iron-rich foods daily 🍽️ I focused on both heme & non-heme iron and made sure I had at least 1 proper iron-rich meal every day. 2. Moving my body daily 🚶🏾♀️ Even if it’s just a 30-minute walk or yoga at home. Consistent movement helped boost my energy. 3. Taking my iron supplements consistently 💊 Every morning on an empty stomach, with vitamin C (orange juice, kiwi, strawberries). Make it enjoyable so you stay consistent. 4. Choosing the right type of iron for my body If it made me feel nauseous or unwell, I switched it. Find what works for YOU. 5. Prioritising a high-protein breakfast 🍳 Helped stabilise my energy and reduce fatigue throughout the day. 6. Listening to my body & resting 😌 I stopped pushing through exhaustion and gave my body time to recover. 7. Tracking my progress 🩸 Blood tests helped me understand what was working and what needed to change. 8. Improving my sleep routine 😴 Aiming for 7–8 hours helped support my energy, recovery, and overall wellbeing. 9. Focusing on whole foods 🥗 I reduced ultra-processed foods and focused more on nutrient-dense meals. Whole foods = better nutrient intake, which supports iron levels and overall health. 10. Being consistent (not perfect) 💛 I stopped trying to do everything perfectly and focused on small habits daily. That’s what actually made the difference. Improving your iron levels isn’t about doing everything perfectly… It’s about building habits you can stick to 💛 That’s when your energy starts to come back ✨ DM me “IRON” to start working with me to help you get your energy back or check the link in my bio for some iron tips & iron rich meals 🩸✨ #lowiron #irondeficiencyanaemia #lowenergy #fatigue #nutritioncoach
