If your diet is pure vegetarian then eat green leafy vegetables more. If non vegetarian diet then eat nonveg food 3 to 4 times a week. Take 3 meals a day. Low hemoglobin can be due to b12 deficiency. After taking these precautions for 2 to 3 months get another sets of tests done if low hemoglobin and vit b12 still persists, then consult a physician. For vit d3 you can take vit d3 sachets once a week for 3 to 6 weeks.

Dear lybrate-user, at your age you should be eating 3 large meals viz breakfast, lunch and dinner. Vitamin b12 is best obtained from animal sources. So if you are vegetarian, must consume dairy products like ghee, curd. You must increase your time in sunlight exposure. Get vitamin d injection once in a month instead of taking capsules. Finish dinner by 8 pm as our digestive system is slightly weaker as night approaches. Avoid packed food such as noodles, pasta, rusk. Avoid nuts, seeds and dry fruits as they are antinutrients in nature due to their phytic acid content. Avoid ro water as it is deficient in essential minerals, thereby causing weakness and fatigue. Follow these steps, you will see immediate improvements.
