Im an anemic with prenisious anema (anemia) and have trouble keeping my iron levels up my doctor has subscribed irion suppliments that sometimes act if though they don‘t work fast enough can i get some help on high iron foods to eat,.
Here is basic info on Iron deficency. The most common iron supplement is ferrous sulfate, although other ferrous salts such as ferrous lactate, fumarate, glycine sulfate, glutamate and gluconate are also absorbed well. Ferrous succinate may have a 30 percent higher absorption rate than ferrous sulfate. If you take iron tablets on an empty stomach, you get the best absorption but you also may experience constipation, diarrhea or stomach upset, depending on the dosage. Taking iron supplements with meals reduces iron absorption by up to one-third. Vitamin C aids iron absorption whether the iron comes from food or a pill. Try meal combinations such as orange juice and iron-fortified cereal or salsa and bean burritos. Other good food sources of iron are meat (especially red meat and liver), dried apricots, and iron-fortified bread. Keep supplements out of the reach of children. Eating iron-containing drugs is the most common cause of poisoning deaths in young children. I hope this will help. :)
Galvanising is coating with zinc. Zinc and copper react with each other if the water passing through them is slightly acidic to produce a small electric current. The zinc gets taken off the iron, particularly with galvanised hot water cylinders, and produces a black sludge. The iron is no longer protected by the zinc (which was its original function) and rusts through. Use all copper, it's cheaper in the long run.
Broccoli, spinach,beans,red meat, liver and egg yolks are high in iron.
hi Absorption of iron from food is influenced by multiple factors. One important factor being the form of the iron. Heme Iron, found in animal sources, is highly available for absorption. Non-heme iron on the other hand, found in vegetable sources, is less available. Iron Rich Foods containing Heme Iron Excellent Sources: Clams, Pork Liver, Oysters, Chicken Liver, Mussels, Beef Liver Good Sources of iron rich foods include: Beef, Shrimp, Sardines,Turkey Iron Rich Foods containing Non-Heme Iron: Excellent Sources: Enriched breakfast cereals, Cooked beans and lentils, Pumpkin seeds, Blackstrap Molasses Good Sources:Canned beans, Baked potato with skin, Enriched pasta, Canned asparagus The absorption of Non-heme iron can be improved when a source of heme iron is consumed in the same meal. In addition, the iron absorption-enhancing foods can also increase the absorption of non-heme iron. While some food items can enhance iron absorption, some can inhibit or interfere iron absorption. Avoid eating them with the iron-rich foods to maximize iron absorption. Iron Absorption Enhancers Meat/fish/poultry Fruits: Orange, Orange Juice, cantaloupe, strawberries, grapefruit etc Vegetables: Broccoli, brussels sprouts, tomato, tomato juice, potato, green red peppers and White wine etc. Iron Absorption Inhibitors : Red Wine, Coffee Tea Vegetables: Spinach, chard, beet greens, rhubarb and sweet potato,Whole grains and bran, Soy products hope this gives you some insight as to what foods you can eat
