-Reduce the intake of iron -rich foods in the body like green-leafy vegetables ,Beetroot ,dates and jaggery. You can have normal food items like chappati , rice ,dal.
-Eat calcium-rich foods: Calcium can inhibit the absorption of iron. Examples of calcium-rich foods include yogurt, milk, cheese, tofu, and green leafy vegetables.
-Avoid any iron supplements or Vitamin C supplements as Vitamin C helps in iron absorption

If Vitamin B 12 is on borderline, have fish, poultry, eggs, milk, and cheese are all good sources of vitamin B12.
