Your body needs iron to keep it running like it should. Learn more about the important mineral and what happens if you're low:
Iron is a mineral that your body uses to make two proteins: hemoglobin and myoglobin. Hemoglobin helps your red blood cells move oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. Myoglobin brings oxygen to your muscles. Iron is also important in making hormones, as well as tendons, ligaments, and other connective tissue.You might not notice anything at first because your body will use what it has stored in your muscles, bones, liver, and elsewhere.
That’s why vegetarians or vegans should almost double the daily iron amount that doctors recommend for meat eaters. That’s 14 mg for men, and 32 mg for women age 19-50. You can do it if you eat a varied diet and get plenty of vitamin C , which helps your body absorb the iron.Oysters, beef liver, white beans, lentils, and spinach are some of the top natural food sources.
