Summary:
Iron Deficiency Anemia
Iron is the most abundant element on Earth. Your red blood cells contain a protein called hemoglobin.
Vitamin C
Did you automatically think about limes and lemons? But there are so many other options. It is a lesser-known fact that bell peppers, guava, and green leafy vegetables like spinach and kale also have tons of Vitamin C.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A-rich foods give you the actual bang for your buck. If you want to squeeze out all the iron from your regular food then make it a point to add them to your diet.
Meat
Are you a big fan of hot dogs and steaks? This is another reason to indulge in your favorite foods.
Cast Iron Skillet
It just takes a few minutes to make mindful swaps while cooking. Give your nonstick cookware a break and try using a cast-iron skillet. It may be something your grandparent used but is actually backed by science.
Calcium-Rich Foods
Do you usually have a glass of milk and then eat iron-rich foods? If yes the calcium from the milk can prevent the complete absorption of iron.
Tea And Coffee
Polyphenols are a group of chemical compounds present in tea and coffee that interfere with iron absorption.
Phytic Acid
These are unique natural compounds found in plants, seeds, grains, nuts, and legumes. They have quite a negative effect on mineral absorption.
Word Of Caution
When you are facing iron deficiency your approach should be food first. Natural nutrients can beat synthetic nutrients.
