There are many foods containing iron, such as animal foods, plant foods, fruits, fortified foods, etc. 1. Animal foods Animal liver, red meat (such as beef, mutton), egg yolk, etc. are good sources of iron. Iron in these foods exists in the form of heme iron, which is highly absorbed by the body. 2. Plant foods Beans, green leafy vegetables (such as spinach, amaranth), black fungus, kelp and so on also contain more iron. The iron in plant foods is non-heme iron, the absorption rate is relatively low, but through reasonable collocation can improve its absorption rate. 3. Some fruits such as raisins, dates and so on also contain a certain amount of iron. 4. There are also some iron-fortified foods on the market, such as iron-fortified bread, rice flour, etc., which can be selected according to needs. Iron is an essential trace element for the human body and is essential for the formation of blood and oxygen transport. Iron deficiency can lead to iron deficiency anemia, fatigue, dizziness and other symptoms. In order to meet the body's iron needs, you can get enough iron through a diverse diet.
