Ferritin is a protein inside cells that stores iron so your body can use it later. It is sometimes used to determine the origin of certain anemic syndromes. You can increase your level of ferritin by consuming folate as a dietary complement or in foods like liver, avocado, orange juice, spinach, etc. Still you should wait till you see your doctor, so they can run more tests and be certain of why it is that you have a low ferritin level.
Dark green leafy vegetables and beets tend to be among the foods highest in natural nitrates. If trying to increase your nitrate intake, eating arugula, celery, lettuce, beets, spinach, watercress and chervil are good options as they contain more than 250 milligrams of nitrates per 100 grams, or 3.5 ounces.trawberries and melons are the fruits that help you produce the most nitric oxide, and other fruits, including raspberries, cherries, bananas, raisins, prunes and figs, also provide some nitric oxide. These are small amounts, however, with a banana providing less than 5 milligrams of nitrates in each 100-gram serving.
