Health Benefits Of Consuming Iron Rich Foods:

Iron is an important mineral to help you recover faster from your workouts, and keep your energy and immune system high. Think about it, iron helps deliver oxygen from your red blood cells to your muscles. See how this could be important when you’re pumping iron in the gym?

Recommended Daily Amount Of Iron For Men And Women:
Here’s the typical recommended daily amount (RDA) of iron for men and women:

- Men and postmenopausal women: 8mg per day
- Premenopausal women: 18mg per day

Premenopausal women obviously require more, because of their “monthly visitor”.

Heme Vs Non-Heme Iron-Rich Foods
Before I give you the top 5 iron-rich foods, let me clarify how iron-rich foods can be broken down into 2 categories.

- Heme
- Non-heme

Heme: simply means the iron is comes from animal sources, thus is better absorbed in the body.
Non-heme: means the iron comes from plant sources, which tends to not be absorbed as well as animal sources.

Live Lean Tip: to increase your non-heme iron absorption, combine plant based iron-rich foods with foods high in vitamin c, like citrus fruits and bell peppers. Vitamin C helps absorb non-heme iron.
