Iron deficiencies are common for many women, especially aging and pregnant women. If you an active lady, growing teen, aging goddess or a mommy-to-be you might be feeling tired because of low iron. NOW...I know what your all thinking! "OK, I'll just eat more red meat." Might I warn you of its high fat and cholesterol content. Although red meat has its perks be wary of these facts. There are a variety of plant based foods that contain lovely levels of iron and provide you with a variety of other vitamins as well! I'll take the plants! So...next time you run to the grocery store try these WHOLISTIQUE wonders!
Dried apricots
Spinach
Swiss chard
Basically any green leafy veggie
Parsley
Dried tomatoes
Beans
Sprouts
Dried coconut
Dried currants
Raisins
Olives
Try sprinkling the dried fruit on your oats in the morning or in your cereal. Add some greens to your favorite juice! Or make sun dried tomato pesto pasta! The possibilities are endless!
Live well!
