Question 3

Accepted Answer

Meats, fish, chicken: The best sources of dietary iron are meats, including beef, fish and seafood, and chicken. Liver is another excellent source of iron. Plant sources of dietary iron include beans, peas, broccoli and spinach as well as many fruits like raisins, apricots, peaches and prunes.

Question 4

what foods are rich in iron?

Accepted Answer

Meat: First and foremost. So is liver. "politically correct" ads showing beans, tofu, spinach, and peanut butter are misleading. Vegetarians who do not know exactly what they are doing tend to become iron-deficient -- and if you are iron-deficient, you've been done a terrible disservice. Look also for possible sources of bleeding if you're diagnosed. Good luck.
