About Iron
Iron is a vital mineral essential for producing hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. Found naturally in foods like red meat, poultry, seafood, beans, spinach, and fortified cereals, iron exists in two forms: heme iron, derived from animal sources and more easily absorbed, and non-heme iron, found in plant-based foods. Iron plays a key role in energy production, immunity, and cognitive function. While iron is crucial for preventing anemia and boosting overall health, too much iron can lead to toxicity and organ damage. Its inclusion in diverse cuisines—such as hearty stews, leafy greens dishes, or lentil-based curries—highlights its flexibility in meal preparation. Pair non-heme iron sources with vitamin C-rich foods, like citrus or tomatoes, to enhance absorption, and consult a healthcare provider to ensure intake aligns with individual needs.
