| Iron-rich foods must be included in your diet |
We're still hearing about the value of consistently
having enough fuel. If we aren't having a deficiency that's called anemia. The
disorder can cause symptoms of all sorts such as exhaustion, light skin,
dizziness , nausea, headaches and sometimes cause inflammation of the tongue.
Iron deficiency is also one of the most common nutritional deficiencies in the
US. Nevertheless don't worry, it can be handled. You should eat more iron-rich
foods on a daily basis, or take supplements. Although certain foods are considered
to contain large levels of iron, such as red meat and chicken or lamb liver,
there are plenty of other choices for those who either don't like or don't want
to consume such foods for whatever reason.
Vegetables
Beans, lentils , chickpeas, peas, and soybeans are among
the most common forms of legumes. These are all filled with essential
nutrients. Beans such as black beans, navy beans, and kidney beans can easily
help you increase your iron intake. In fact, half a cup of cooked black beans –
about 86 grams – will give you about 1.8 grams of iron-10 percent of the DV.
Use legumes with foods rich in vitamin C, including tomatoes, vegetables, or
citrus fruits, to improve your iron absorption.
Tofu
The soy-based food is now very popular among vegetarians
and in Asia. One half-cup of tofu (126-grams) has 3.4 mg of iron, which is 19
percent of the DV.

can provide you with a good iron content. Just 1-ounce of iron can contain 3.5
mg, 14 percent of the DV.

minerals , especially cashews and almonds.

quite a lot of magnesium. Certain healthy choices, apart from those two, are
also broccoli and green peas.
