I hate red meat,but i‘ve realized that i‘m probably not getting enough iron :/I eat eggs and chickendo those have iron? What are some other sources?
The best sources of iron include: Dried beans Dried fruits Eggs (especially egg yolks) Iron-fortified cereals Liver Lean red meat (especially beef) Oysters Poultry, dark red meat Salmon Tuna Whole grains Reasonable amounts of iron are also found in lamb, pork, and shellfish. Iron from vegetables, fruits, grains, and supplements is harder for the body to absorb. These sources include: Dried fruits prunes raisins apricots Legumes lima beans soybeans dried beans and peas kidney beans Seeds almonds Brazil nuts Vegetables broccoli spinach kale collards asparagus dandelion greens Whole grains wheat millet oats brown rice If you mix some lean meat, fish, or poultry with beans or dark leafy greens at a meal, you can improve absorption of vegetable sources of iron up to three times. Foods rich in vitamin C also increase iron absorption.
