Sources_Of_Iron

                    What are some natural sources of iron?

                    Statistics show that the average American diet is approximately 2500 calories per day.Out of these 2500 calories,there is about 15 mg of iron that a person is getting from their food intake.This is just a guide of course,and you may eat more or less.If you are eating less than 2000 calories a day,iron supplementation may be necessary.

                     It's best,however,to seek out foods that contain iron naturally before attempting supplementation.Iron can be found in meat as well as from plant sources such as fruits and vegetables.It is important to note that iron derived from meat sources,which is called“heme iron”,is absorbed more readily by the body than iron that comes from plant sources.
