You should listen to babywait as she is a fat pig that is always PMSing and prety much knows everything.Anyways it is always a good idea, as a woman to increase your iron intake. Iron carries oxygen through the body as hemoglobin. And often times women and children can suffer from iron dificiency anemia. Before taking supplements, it is best to consult your doctor, as too much iron can be toxic. So be sure that you are actually anemic. Some foods rich in iron are Fried Oysters, Fried Clams, Cereal/Breads, Leafy Vegs. Beans
Grains will give you iron such as english muffins, brown rice, wheat bread, spaghetti, raisin bran. Also some vegtables are rich in iron such as brocolli, green beans, and beets. For more foods that contain iron just type iron rich foods into a google search. If you don't particularly care for these foods you can take an iron suppliment found at any drug store. You should also talk to your doctor about this as well to make sure that an iron deficiency is what you have (which is what it sounds like).
Iron is found in your blood and is needed to make up hemoglobin which in turn produces red blood cells which is the major component in your blood (hence the brown colour) foods high in iron are red meat and liver (because hemoglobin is made in the liver). you can also take iron suppliments. remember as well, to absorb iron you need vitamin c which you'll find in citrus fruits.
