Foods that contain Iron, like Liver!

Prevention

The best way to prevent iron-deficiency anemia is to eat a diet containing plenty of iron. The recommended daily amount is 7mg a day for men and 11mg a day for women.

Iron is found in meat, liver, cereals, raw green vegetables, fortified foods such as some breakfast cereals. The following is a list of the amount of iron contained in 100g of these foods:

* braising steak - 2.7mg
* lamb's liver - 10mg
* fortified corn flakes - 7.9mg
* wholemeal pitta bread - 2.7mg
* broccoli (boiled) - 1mg
* spinach (boiled) - 1.7mg

It's a good idea to eat foods containing vitamin C at the same time as eating non-meat sources of iron because this helps with iron absorption. Good sources of vitamin C include peppers, Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, oranges and kiwi fruit.

Women who have heavy periods should consider taking an iron supplement. Speak to your GP or contact a dietitian for more information.

Also, dump the Teflon and get a cast iron cooking pans. Every time you cook food in it you will get iron....especially when cooking tomato rich foods.

Any nutrition extreme in iron would help to boost the hemoglobin stages -- liver is majorly extreme in iron and the b-supplementations (yet, no longer many people can choke it down). you will get an over the counter multi-nutrition with iron, and take it two times on a regular basis, or communicate with you ordinary practitioner approximately getting SlowFe -- an iron supplement.

Both are good for you, each fruit/vegetable has different vitamins. And so as more variety, as better. Vegetables have generally less sugar than fruits.

Pork and beef liver (fried or made into meat pies) are both very good at this.

(m)

Eating foods high in iron can help prevent iron deficiency anaemia. There are two forms of iron in our diets – haeme and non-haeme iron. Haeme iron is found in meats, liver, poultry and fish and is easy for the body to absorb. Non-haeme iron is found in fortified cereals, eggs, and certain plant foods and is not as easily absorbed. Try to eat at least two high iron foods each day.

Iron content in foods

HAEME IRON Iron (mg)
NON-HAEME IRON Iron (mg)

Chicken liver (3oz or 90gm) 7.0
Soybeans (1 cup) 9.3

Oysters (6) 5.6
Lentils (1 cup) 7.0

Scallops, steamed (7) 2.7
Bran flakes (3/4 cup) 5.3

Beef, tenderloin (3oz or 90gm) 2.5
Kidney beans (1 cup) 5.2

Beef, lean ground (100gm) 2.4
Spinach, cooked (1/2 cup) 3.2

Turkey, dark meat (3oz or 90 gm) 2.0
Other sources of non-haeme iron: lima beans, navy beans, black beans, fortified oatmeal, tofu, whole wheat bread, nuts and seeds, dried fruits (apricots, dates, figs, prunes, and raisins), eggs, and dark green leafy vegetables.

Chicken leg (3oz or 90gm) 1.1

Other sources of haeme iron : crab, halibut, shrimp


Tips to increase the iron content of your meals

Try to include meat, chicken or fish on a daily basis.
Choose breakfast cereals fortified with iron.
Add dried beans, peas and lentils to soups and casseroles.
Sprinkle dried fruits such as raisins and chopped dates on cereals, in salads or use in baking.
Add blackstrap molasses to muffins, baked beans or other recipes.
Sprinkle wheat germ on cereal or use in baking or preparing casseroles.
Substitute baby cereal for some of the flour when baking.
How do you improve iron absorption from foods?

Vitamin C helps your body to absorb more of the iron you eat. Vitamin C rich foods include 100% fruit juices, oranges, grapefruit, dried cranberries, strawberries, kiwis, tomatoes, asparagus, broccoli, red and green peppers, potatoes, spinach and squash.
Adding heme iron (meats, poultry, and fish) to a meal will also increase your body’s ability to absorb the non-heme iron in foods.
Tea, coffee, and cocoa (chocolates) can significantly decrease iron absorption in your body. Trying to avoid these can improve your iron absorption.
Some examples of iron-rich meals include:

Scrambled egg and multigrain toast ; Spaghetti and meat sauce ; steak or chicken fajitas ; chili with beans and meat ; salmon (or any fish) served with pasta and broccoli ; peanut butter and jelly sandwich on whole wheat bread ; split pea soup and whole grain crackers ; ‘chappati’ / ‘roti’ served with ‘dal palak’; chicken, fish, lamb ‘curry’ served with rice, ‘sabji’ and a fresh fruit.
