Iron is an extremely important trace element for health, the deficiency of which can cause anemia and its accompanying symptoms - palpitations, infections, irritability, pale complexion, hair loss, cold palms, general weakness and fatigue. Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency and it is estimated that about 20% of women suffer from it.
The best solution is to eat foods and iron-rich drinks every day. And while it is clear which foods that are rich in iron - fish, meat, eggs, liver and other offal, mussels and seafood, nettles, spinach, lettuce, beets and carrots, when it comes to drinks it is not so clear. Which are the drinks that provide us with the largest amounts of iron?
Spinach is an excellent source of iron, so it can be easily made into a healthy smoothie, which will load up the body with the necessary trace element. The same goes for red beets, but they should be mixed with fruit. Iron is perfectly absorbed in combination with vitamin C, so a fresh juice of beets, oranges, apples, lemons or carrots is a great dose of nutrients.
Prune juice is also an excellent source of iron, as are strawberry and watermelon juice. This also applies to tomato juice, carrot juice and celery. Although it sounds strange, lettuce juice will charge you up with iron and it is also very beneficial for a good metabolism. Pomegranate juice is a real balm for the body. According to experts, all red juices are an excellent source of iron.
