Today I thought I’d do a blog post discussing a bit about IRON. Iron is a common micronutrient deficiency in the populations I work with and it can take a little intentionality to be consuming adequate amounts of iron in your diet on a regular basis (and in ways that promote optimal absorption – more on that later).
In this post we will be thinking about:
-
- Why is iron important and who is at increased risk for iron-deficiency anemia (IDA)?
- What are common symptoms of iron-deficiency anemia?
- What are some ways I can increase both my iron intake and my ability to effectively absorb the iron I do consume?
