Answers:
The best way to tell if you are anaemic is to get a blood test (see your doctor)!. this is important as there are different types of anaemia and some are more threatening than others!.

the most obvious way to tell is physical symptoms such as lack of energy, tiredness, dizziness on standing!.!.!.

foods high in iron include spinach and other green leafy vegetables!. iron is best absorbed if you consume it at the same time as you consume vitamin C (eg!. orange juice)!. you can also get iron supplements over the counter but i would recommend seeing your doctor firstWww@Answer-Health@Com

Look at both your palms!.They normally should be pink and even reddish!.That is a good sign!.It is always better to get your haemoglobin content in the blood!.For ladies it should be around 14-15mg or slightly more!.
As a precaution start eating spinach plenty and consult a doctor!.Drop in haemoglobin in blood indicates many complicatios and so you should not neglect!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Not all people with anemia have the same symptoms and look the same!. The simplest lab test for anemia is a blood test called hemoglobin which can be requested alone or as part of a CBC (complete blood count)!.
