“The Importance of Iron in Your Diet”

Iron is a vital mineral for producing hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. Iron deficiency can lead to anemia, causing fatigue and weakened immunity. Good dietary sources include red meat, poultry, fish, beans, and leafy green vegetables. Vitamin C can enhance iron absorption from plant-based sources. Understanding iron’s role and ensuring adequate intake through diet or supplements supports overall health and energy levels.
