Eat Foods Rich in Iron

Iron is crucial to metabolism. It brings oxygen to the cells, strengthens the immune system, and is one of the building blocks of carnitine and other enzymes required for digestion. Though iron toxicity can be very dangerous, iron deficiency will cause your body to become fatigued because your cells won’t be receiving the oxygen they need. Women need extra iron when they’re menstruation because of the loss of blood, but because of the dangers of toxicity, we recommend eating roods rich in iron – such as soybeans, beans, tofu, beef, and spinach – over taking an iron supplement.
