Iron-Rich Meals for Heavy Periods

Heavy periods can increase iron loss and raise the risk of iron deficiency or iron-deficiency anaemia. Iron helps your body produce haemoglobin, which allows red blood cells to carry oxygen. Iron-rich meals can support your regular intake, but food alone may not correct a deficiency caused by significant blood loss. Heavy bleeding and symptoms such as persistent tiredness, weakness, breathlessness or dizziness deserve professional assessment and, when appropriate, blood tests and treatment.
