Do you consume enough iron in your diet?

The likelihood is that majority of people are not😩. 

Iron has many benefits, and is one of the most important minerals for your body💪🏿.

Food has two types of iron - heme iron and nonheme iron. Heme iron is found in red meat, fish and poultry🍗 while non-heme iron is found in plant based foods 🥗 . 

➡️ Listed in the video are some food options you can use to incorporate this nutritional powerhouse into your diet if you haven’t been chowing down on iron rich foods. 

If you opt for non-heme iron foods, try to pair with vitamin C(can be found in citrus fruits, strawberries, tomatoes, broccoli, spinach) to aid with absorption of non-heme iron. 

🥗🍗Your diet can provide all the iron you need each day, but if you have low blood iron levels, or trouble absorbing iron from your diet, you may need to supplement 💊 . 

Stay informed, stay healthy! 💪✨
