| Iron absorptionAs we know, iron deficiency or iron anaemia causes fatigue and can be common mainly in women. The best way to determine lack of iron is to have a blood test as you don’t want to supplement unnecessarily. An overload can be dangerous to the heart and liver. Include more lean beef or ham, tofu, pumpkin seeds, spinach, chickpeas and molasses in your diet or find an iron supplement that is chelated to prevent supplemental constipation. Remember if you are taking vitamin E take it away from your iron and avoid smoking, soft drinks, tea and coffee. These adversely affect iron absorption. Close
