I'm supposed to be taking iron tablets for an iron deficiency, but the only ones I have are expired. I'm away at college and wont be back home to get more for another 2 more weeks. I feel really weak right now, just really drained, and I just want to sleep all the time, which I have been doing a lot of. I was wondering what foods I could eat to help boost my iron intake, at least until I get back home. I've been trying to drink orange juice, I don't know if that helps though.Thankyou everyone.
the best source of iron is lean red meat it can also be found in chicken, turkey eggs and many cereals There are two forms of dietary iron - heme and non-heme. Heme iron is derived from hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that delivers oxygen to cells and non-heme iron is from plant foods. Good dietary sources of iron are: Heme - red meat - liver and other organ meats - fish - poultry Non-heme - lentils - dried beans/peas - flours - cereals - grains
Unfortunately no one answered the question. This is nothing more than another gone to waste forum
what's your objective for the automobile? Brembo stuff is nice, so is the Baer and Wilwood stuff in case you like the struggling with ability. Hankooks are not fairly overall performance tires IMO. they are good for the $$ yet once you're conversing genuine overall performance tires we are conversing Michelin Pilot activities, a number of the Nitto tires available, etc.
eat an apple, that really helps as it is high in iron n has a lot of vitamin C for good absorption of the iron. avoid drinking too much tea with food if u do as that prevents any vitamin absorption including iron. i was anemic too but by sticking to this i was fine n it gave me lot of energy too. believe me. a lot of ppl will say bitroot though that as also got a lot of sugar. all this was adviced to me by my doctor. xxxx 'an apple a day keeps the doctor awake'
Foods rich in iron: * Meat and fish: beef, lamb (especially kidneys and liver), veal, pork, poultry, mussels, oysters, sardines and tuna * Fruits: dried fruits such as prunes, figs, raisins, currants, peaches and prune and blackberry juice * Vegetables: greens (spinach, silverbeet, lettuce), beans and peas, pumpkin and sweet potatoes * Grains: oatmeal, iron-fortified breakfast cereals and wholegrain breads. The iron in meat, fish and chicken is called haem iron and is more abundant and more easily absorbed than the iron in vegetables, which is called non-haem iron. It is best to get iron from a variety of sources – protein in meat also helps your gut absorb non-haem iron. Iron contained in 100g of different foods - haem iron: lamb kidneys 12mg lean beef steak 4.3mg chicken breast 1.9mg - non-haem iron tofu 5.4mg baked beans 1.9mg spinach 1.3mg Your body absorbs only a small amount of iron at any one time, so it is important to eat a lot of iron-rich foods every day. To get the most out of those foods remember: * eating foods rich in vitamin C (citrus fruits, leafy green vegetables) will help iron absorption * drinking milk around meal times or when taking iron tablets can interfere with iron absorption * drinking tea with meals also hinders iron uptake.
