Iron is a trace mineral found in every cell of the

Iron is a trace mineral found in every cell of the body. It's essential for carrying oxygen from our lungs to our organs and tissues.

Dietary sources of iron include various meats, which are better absorbed than plant sources of iron.

One way to improve the absorption of plant-sourced iron is by combining it with vitamin C. Vitamin C converts the iron into a form that's more easily absorbed.

Below are some good sources of iron from plant-based foods (that also have more iron per serving than spinach):

Blackstrap molasses
Lentils
Quinoa
Kidney beans
Chickpeas
Pumpkin seeds
Swiss chard, cooked
Beet greens, cooked
Tahini

If you think you may be iron deficient, it’s recommended you consult with your doctor before taking an iron supplement. The reason is because excess iron in the body can lead to liver damage. Supplemental iron is generally only advised if you are pregnant, or diagnosed as iron deficient by your doctor.

Some common symptoms of iron deficiency include:
Anemia
Brittle hair
Dizziness
Fatigue
Poor concentration
Hair loss

Spoon shaped nails (nails curve up at the edge with and indent in the middle like a spoon) may also be a sign of iron deficiency.

For many of us, our thoughts are immersed in covid

For many of us, our thoughts are immersed in covid updates and how our lives have changed as a result.

It's hard to avoid the daily covid reminders, but we have the choice to think positively or negatively.

I'm not saying that we should ignore covid because it's unpleasant to think about. It's very important to be aware of what's currently happening.

Personally, I'd rather focus my thoughts on health, not sickness. I'd rather direct my energy towards happiness, gratitude, and care of other people.

I still want to get covid updates so that I can make informed decisions, but I'd rather not dwell on the negative. Let's think about being healthy, prepared, resilient, nurturing, and respectful of others. Let's work together to stay positive and strong! 🙏
