Iron for your Body

What is Iron?
Iron is an important mineral for the body, It is needed to help our red blood cells deliver oxygen to the rest of the body. Plenty of vitamin C helps your body absorb a lot more iron. Women need to maintain their iron level much more than men. It is the only nutrient that women have a higher daily requirement than men. In the United States a (RDA) Recommended Daily Allowance of 10 milligrams of iron for men and 15 milligrams for women.

Transport and storage of oxygen.

A healthy adult on a daily basis diet should be about 15% of iron. You should know the amount of iron your body store before you can figure out how much your intake should be. It works this way, if your body barely has any iron it will demand more from the food you are eating. If you keep your Iron level high, your body will demand less iron and you will always have extra Iron store.
