without knowing what you are eating and more about your history its tough to say why your iron levels are low. here are some tips for increasing your iron stores: animal sources (heme) of iron are better absorbed so if you are not a vegetarian increase heme sources (meat poultry and fish) at mealtime. vitamin c-rich foods increase the absorption of iron in plant sources (green veggies iron-fortified cereals and grains beans and raisins) so include them at meals often. see this list of iron rich foods and add key sources to your diet. if dietary changes don't change your iron levels ask your doctor about supplementation.
