OK, one more and I'm moving on to a different subject matter.
The body needs iron to make the oxygen-carrying proteins hemoglobin (found in red blood cells) and myoglobin (found in muscles). Iron also makes up part of many proteins in the body. Iron from meat and egg sources seem to be the best for the body as it can be absorbed more readily, however, you can get it from dried fruits, vegetables, greens and grains, too.
While the body can store some iron, the symptoms of iron deficiency anemia are lack of energy, shortness of breath, headache, irritability, dizziness or weight loss.
As I wrote earlier, you also need vitamin C in your diet to be able to absorb iron properly.
