Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Need to get onto a nutritional diet. At this age, excessive diet not advisable as malnutrition is more common.
2. Nutritional supplement composed of Vit B12, Folic acid and iron is necessary. Any brand is good.
3. Increase protein and fiber in diet. Low blood levels can affect the heart and the immune system. Need to improve it at the earliest.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
