HOW TO MAKE AN IRON BOOST MEAL AND WHAT IS IT IMPORTANT FOR YOUR HEALTH AND FITNESS:
✅Spinach, kidney beans and lentils are very good sources of iron.
✅Iron is an essential mineral which participates in a lot of essential processes in your body such as temperature regulation, energy balance and focus, immune system efficiency and gastrointestinal functions.
✅Furthermore iron participates in carbohydrate conversion into energy while working out so you certainly need it to check it on point.
✅ If you're after blood donation or have any significant blood loss (accidents or for period for women) you really need to replenish the lost iron in your system.
✅the recommended iron intake should be around 19-20mg/day. To break this down in facts:
➡️Spinach contains 2.7mg/100g.
➡️Kidney beans contain 8.2mg/100g.
➡️Lentils contain 3.3mg/100g.
➡️So here I have 100g spinach, 100g kidney beans and 150g of lentils which result in 15.85mg of iron
✅Although some foods are rich in iron, the absorbed amount of it is a whole other story.
✅To achieve maximum iron absorption, avoid high quantity of dairy in that meal and integrate some carbs in order to increase the surface that iron will stick on to.
