Exercise uses up iron, so be especially on the lookout for low iron if you are ramping up your exercise.
- Fatigue
- Hairloss
- Irratibility
- Weakness
Foods High in Iron:
- Chocolate
- Liver
- Sesame, sunflower and pumpkin seeds
- Dried Apricots
- Caviar
- Clams, Mussels, Oysters
- Red Meat
Just because you're not craving any of these foods doesn't mean your iron is good. The body doesn't always crave the specific foods it needs. For example, quite a few people who are low in iron love to chew ice. That doesn't have iron.
Before supplementing, have your doctor to do a blood test and see where your iron levels are.
WARNING: Iron poisoning is the leading cause of poisoning deaths for children under 5 in the United States. Store any pills containing iron with appropriate caution.
