Getting enough iron is key for healthy blood.
Animal foods including beef and seafood are good sources.
You can also get iron from plant sources including:
– beans
– lentils
– tofu
– baked potatoes with the skin
– leafy greens
– pumpkin and sesame seeds
– dark chocolate
and fortified cereals.
The iron in these foods is not as well absorbed as iron from animal sources.
But eating them along with foods rich in vitamin C can increase absorption.
