Common causes of low iron are poor mineral absorption and excess menstrual flow.
There are two forms of iron found in foods. Heme iron in meats, nonheme in vegetables. Peter D’Adamo, author of the
Eat Right for Your Type Diet, finds people with O blood types absorb iron better from heme sources. We offer this for informational purposes only.
Consume whole foods, especially leafy green vegetables.
Beets, beet juice and molasses are good sources of iron. If you are a meat eater, small amounts of organic meats and wild caught salmon are good choices. They’re best eaten no later than lunch for better digestion of amino acids.
Tip: Have 2 tsp apple cider vinegar and raw honey (optional) in room temperature water with meals to improve assimilation of minerals and correct PH.
Iron and oxygen transportation go hand in hand. It’s one of reasons people feel exhausted when iron deficient. Short periods of mild exertion outside in the fresh air will help you feel more refreshed, improve sleep quality and overall health. Breathe deeply. Exhale thoroughly!
