Iron is an important mineral that helps the body to carry oxygen through your blood vessels. A lack of iron creates a deficiency that can cause some severe symptoms of Anemia.
Anemia symptoms include:
Common causes of iron deficiency can be inflammatory bowel disease or celiac disease. Women, in particular, can suffer from it due to blood loss from heavy periods or a need for extra iron during pregnancy. Iron deficiency can also be due to a low iron diet. This usually affects vegetarians and vegans. This mineral can be found in foods such as red meat, leafy greens (spinach and kale), seed and nuts, legumes, and seafood.
Luckily there are also extra foods that can aid your iron absorption, which mainly consists of vitamin C. Fruit and veg such as Bell peppers, oranges, kiwi, broccoli, and strawberries.
There are also certain foods that can hinder its absorption. These include Phytate acid, which is found in whole grains and soy. Polyphenols which can be found in tea, coffee, and wine, and also food that has a lot of calcium can also deter absorption levels.
If you struggle to get your recommended daily amount of iron through your diet, there are supplements available that can be taken to improve and alleviate your symptoms of anemia. How much you need can depend on if you are menstruating, pregnant, and breastfeeding, and if you follow a veggie/ vegan diet. You would usually need more if you fit into this category.
