Health Hint 3/24

Health Hints: A shortage of iron in the body can make a person feel drained. Moderate iron deficiency can be corrected through diet. Consider eating sensible portions of iron-rich foods, such as lean red meat, pork, liver, and dark poultry meat. They contain the kind of iron your body can easily absorb. Consume foods that are high in vitamin C, such as citrus fruits and juices, broccoli, tomatoes, potatoes, and cantaloupe. Vitamin C will help your body absorb iron. Avoid substances that inhibit iron absorption, such as tannic acid in tea.
