Plus there’s a Report outlining what iron does in the body, what foods give you iron, what to do if you don’t eat meat, iron helpers, iron-deficiency anaemia, tests used to measure your body’s iron levels, how to beat anaemia, and iron supplements

Contents - What you’ll get

After reading this Printable and its related material, you will learn how to eat with iron in mind. You'll get:

•     A Report “The Low-down on Iron” including references (which is a PDF)
•     A graphic of the Best Foods for Iron

The list gives you the iron content in milligrams per serve for meats including liver, kidney and other organ meats, fish, chicken, whole wheat biscuits, wholemeal bread, spinach, eggs, dried apricots, brown rice plus others. In practice, if you need to boost your iron, you need to eat more of the well-absorbed sources found in meats, fish and poultry.
