- Homeschooling this week...I'm trying to push through.....
I haven't left the bed today but feel maybe slightly better. As I write this, it's day 4 of stuffing myself with iron rich foods. I don't want to record the next lesson because I tried and I looked so tired, sick, and pale. Hopefully you guys are ok if I come out with it on Friday. If it's not here til Sunday just know im probably not feeling well enough. Do you all have experience with anemia? I'm trying to convince myself to be still...
Cook with cast iron pans, it transfers to the food. At least that's what the nutritionist told me. Feel better soon.
It's true.
Also Blackstrap molasses
Same
They have little iron fishes you can add to food.
I agree
Take your time. Put yourself first because the world needs you. You are a breath of fresh air. Thank you for everything you do.
Well said..
Akeeba is a real teacher , even though she's taking about her low iron level, she's there teaching us about the environment and climate change.
Thanks everyone for your well wishes. I am looking at your comments and suggestions!
Feel better, Akeeba! Don’t know where you got all the energy from, sis! Truly admirable!
Ok I am saying to you take care of yourself and the school can wait for one to two days, because you're girls need you around ok,,everything can wait, ok GOD BLESS and GOD will take care of your body ,but you have to eat good food for your body ok, take a day or two off,ok love you my sister 🤗😴💃
Hope that you feel better enjoyed shopping with you today learn some things your such a great person thanks for sharing
Molasses and ALL the GREENS!!! 🖤🖤🖤💚💚💚
Feel better soon! ❤❤❤
Yes. Blackstrap molasses worked for me
Omg same here, it use to be so bad for me I would faint. Once u find iron u like take it with orange juice the vit c helps absorb iron, feel better mama ❤️🔥
As a South African, I am searching high and low for lessons online on teaching Montessori like style from African parents and you are my favourite. I'm even more impressed as I'm a climate financial specialist to hear you incorporate environmental lessons in your parenting. I don't know what I'm saying, I guess that I'm happy you and I are aligned in 2 ways.
Honestly if you feel that tired you need to make an appointment with your PCP have blood work done asap. Low iron can serious and lasting effects on your body.
sorry you do not feel well!
avoid any milk products, sugar, processed food and coffee.this will block iron absorbtion take also vitamin c(ascorbic acid powder) and Mg.they both help Fe to be absorbed better.
cooking with a cast iron pan is a great ideea. the only thing is that you have to make sure it is indeed a pure iron pan and that it does not contain any other metals that could be poisoned.
get well soon! prayers🙏❤
Sorry to hear about the anemia. I’ve had issues with anemia too. Glad you got the liver. That’s what my grandmother used to give me. Also, some good Jamaican callaloo. The dark chocolate is good too! Hope you feel better soon!
Feel Better, Soon. Remember, you come first; you can't pour from an empty cup. If you don't find liver, dark leafy vegetables are a good substitute, especially spinach.
Your daughters are so smart and beautiful. Thanks for the liver reminder. I am anemic too.
Eat lots of green bananas,kale and greens.fresh is best
Feel better soon
Please take care of yourself Akeeba. Being anemic is rough Maybe you are trying to do too much. I am hoping and praying that when your next video comes out, you will be telling us that you feel much better. Much Love to You, Aphiwe and Amahle 🌝 ❤ 🙏
PleaseTake care of yourself Akeeba TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF FIRST there is ONLY ONE you. You cannot pour from an empty cup. You are an awesome mother & we all appreciate everything you do on your platforms.
Hey Akeeba, I'm sorry you aren't feeling well, but you are so admirable. Your still doing so much. I have sickle cell and feel like that a lot of times, but then I'd get blood work and my iron is fine, so 🤷🏾♀️ what it is. Anyway, idk how you do it. Your amazing. Also, the sun thing is also very true for me. My husband love being in the dark, but if I am away from natural light too much, I get depressed and irritable. He says I'm withering like a flower. Feel better soon🤗
The lovely closeness between Ajedi and Aphiwe🤩🤩🤩
Yes I have to take iron tablets. Because I have low hemoglobin
Goodmorrow Sis
Look up krystalalkalinedoula, she has herbs for everything!!! Peace, Love, & Light!!
Beets, raisins, brussel sprouts.
Love you mama! Keep going!
Floradix kept me from having an iron transplant while pregnant with my 5th baby. Seems like the iron issue gets worse with each child or maybe age. Anyone else have an opinion on that?
I know the floradix works because I both that straight through my sister in law pregnancy.
I love love love this vlog!!!!!!!!!! So nice to see a day in your life like this!!!
Wish you better lovely lady. You are usually a bright, shiny ray of light. It sad to see your light is dimmed. God bless and protect you. ♡♡♡♡
Praying you feel better soon. My daughters and I love what you do and hope to meet you one day. Please take care of yourself💕 We'll be here when you're better 💓
Get well soon, you have been such an inspiration to so many..we can't have you feeling weak..always remember Italian deli or markets always have delicious fresh liver...get better& be your wonderful strong self..a nice hot bath with ebson salt is always good..God Bless..
I just had a spoon of black strap molasses. I like liver but never prepared it.
💕💕👏👏🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🦋🦋🦋
Plan for these breaks. Just like you plan for homeschool. Your body is telling you that it needs immediate adjustment, so schedule it in, wrote naps down in your planner. Plan in time to give your self more rest and nourishment.
I recommend garden of life’s “Blood builder” it’s organic capsules for more iron. Check into it.
It's the best. It brought my levels up in no time.
Yes I love that vitamin
I be so exhausted bout to vomit and heart palpatations... u did good girl. My iron levels be in range but on the low side but my reserves ( ferritin) levels be low. Praying for u and every other woman who goes through this. Docs just tell me to take ferrous sulfate 325 with orange juice for a couple months. Its tough out here, but WE ARE TOUGHER.
Eating as I did as a kid is what I need to do more of also. Momma knew how to keep us healthy.
I understand how you feel. God bless you. The journey back to health is long.
I’m glad I’m not alone in these feelings. One child can be overwhelming just as 10. I honestly am learning a lot just from observation.
Feel better! Fish and spinach is also a great source of iron. I love liver and onions too 💐🦋🌹
Love you mama, please take care 🥰😍😘💥
Definitely one of your best videos I must say🙌
Maybe some iron tablets from the GP might help out?
Feel better.
Great video, even though you were I'll. I pray you are feeling better. God Bless.🙏🏽
Good afternoon. You have to take care of yourself. I hope you feel better soon.
Your daughter's are so cute. I love it they love to read. I use to have the same problem. Tired a lot my iron was always low.
Stopping by to say pray you are feeling better. The things you purchased will help you it just may take a couple of days. Since being pescatarian I became vitamin D deficient and already had an iron deficiency. I take those supplements daily now. When I forget and start to feel bad I can always pinpoint that I forget. My body feels horrible when that happens. I get weak and sleep too much. Please just take care of yourself with all the great things you have going on. The food intake you already know the importance of. Best wishes. Hope to see you back soon creating great content!
Hope you get better soon. Take your time and boost up your self properly. My God bless you with good health,and surround you with helpful and kind people 🙏 ❤
I do know the feeling , I just had a new baby and my energy level was so low , even while taking the vitamins , I heard about B12 n after taking it I started to feel more energetic.
Feel better Akeeba & try black strap molasses.
Thank you for your videos:) I am super anemic so I use Floradix liquid iron.
Akeeba,I enjoy all of your videos, please take care of yourself.
AG1 or Mary Ruth vitamins are very good. Maybe one of these brands of vitamins could help you. Hope you feel better soon❤️
Can you take B12 vitamins?
Get well soon Akeeba!
Nettle Tea!!
Nettle is a source of iron, vitamin C, vitamin A and even folate. One of the reasons it's used to increase iron is because the presence of vitamin C makes it a very absorbable source of iron as vitamin C helps increase iron absorption.
An easy iron packed snack idea is are dried Figs. Hope you're feeling better🙏
I also have iron deficiency and it's not easy.
Hope you are doing well 🔆
I came across an article today about the benefits of eating quail eggs. The publix in my local area sells them. Would not be surprised if Whole Foods carries them as well. They increase hemoglobin and have twice the amount of iron as chicken eggs and many other increased nutrients.
Iron fish is good too...🤗
Yes anemia sucks. Get some rest, take a supplement to get you up quick then stop and eat iron rich foods more often
So sorry you're not feeling well. Hope you feel better soon.
Do you think you will need a blood or iron infusion?
Your health comes first
My prayers for you and your family. Hoping you get better soon. I was very anemia. I need to take 3 iron pills a day. But for 2 weeks I would have lentils soup for breakfast. Add
chopped tomato 🍅 , onion 🧅 , and with lime juice, and coriander🌿
Take care of yourself. I appreciate your videos btw single honeschool dad here 👍🏻👍🏻
Akeeba please take floradix iron .It helped me. Check Whole Foods or Amazon
Feel better I know the feeling very well
Speedy recovery I pray you in JESUS NAME🙏
Get well soon🥰
hope you feel better take care
Megafood Blood Builder!!! I recovered in 3 days after crashing and having less than 7% iron binding capacity. My naturopath added Betaine HCL to help it absorb better.
Lol I pray you feel better soon
I be feeling the same way. I can't cook the country food that I use to eat when I was little because my Puertoricain lover is so very time I cook. I miss country food, I don't want spanish food all the time.
Girls growing up nicely. Please take care
I'm severely anemic due to my vegetarian lifestyle for past 18 yrs. Can't even give blood. I take ferrous sulfate. Probably would pass out if I didn't take supplements. I just keep pushing through cause taking off from work is not an option. I thank God He gives me strength. Btw u do know caffeine blocks iron absorption. Take vitamin C and magnesium with your iron supplement.
Organic beet root powder. Mix it daily in smoothies. It works. Follow your regimen from the Doctor also
If you pull down your lower eye skin and look at the blood in your lower eye, if it is pale then, yes you need iron, if it's rich in blood, you're OK. My mother taught me this. Liver is great, especially calf liver. Also rare steak or cook a London broil in the oven, rare. Less veggies, more meat. Be careful of which iron supplement you get.
Just put the liver in a bowl of roomy temperature water, change the water, say every 10 minutes. It should thaw out in about half an hour.
Hope you feel better soon. You have a lovely family.
I've been there with anemia and I have learned that kale is my friend
I'm anemic too so I know exactly how you feel.
As an anemic vegetarian I drink Floradix liquid iron everyday. It makes a difference, I can tell on days I skipped it. It's better absorbed than iron capsules and tablets. It's boosted when I drink orange juice and avoid milk Around the time I drink them.
When you feel like you are going to pass out, take a rest. I had anemia for several years.
The Herbal Elixir has iron teas! They work so fast got my anemia up from getting transfusions
Sarsaparilla and sea vegetables (kelp sea moss sea weed etc)
HAVE YOU TRIED SEAMOSS AND BLADERWACK. I KNOW PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT HOW DR. SIBE MADE IT POPULAR BUT IT HAS A LOT OF IRON AND OTHER MINERALS.
Juice some carrots beets coconut and cook your greens in orange juice the citrus acid release the iron in the greens
You don't need fresh liver. You can order dessicated liver tablets. They are mostly inexpensive too and extremely good for this.
Hey, guys, get Dr. sebi's iron herbs and his green food herbs, it will change you life..
Please take care of yourself Akeeba.
Please get better soon
when you got the liver in that cantainer, did you have to peel a thin layer off of it❤
Ask your dr about Hemax these work so well!!!
Please try beetroot juice or smoothie or boil and chop and add pomegranate syrup with lettuce. You will never feel dizzy
Get some rest sister your body knows best listen to it. It’s better to rest and come back then not to be able to come back longer because you didn’t listen to your body
Do not quote me but I believe fish is also a good source of iron maybe get some salmon
Get u self some Flora Dix its sold in at health food stores
lol! nevermind you got it:):)
Take care of yourself, young lady. If you are sick, you can't do anything. It's time to just shut it down for a few days. Yes, take Vitamin D3. It helps the immune system and is important during this pandemic times.
Please check out the fig tree website on iron how to achieve the bests iron from your food
Please add beets to your diet for blood building Akeeba!!!
You also might want to have your blood checked for thalassemia, it causes anemia my mother is a carrier.
