The ferritin levels are usually low due to a poor diet or a diet that lacks iron. However, chrons disease and other underlying medical conditions can also result in low ferritin levels. If you have low ferritin levels then you are recommended to take a diet rich in spinach, and fruits such as bananas and pomegranate.
