An adult male requires around 1 mg, and menstruating females need around 1.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5 mg per day<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. However, to achieve this number, you must consume a lot of iron-rich food. Why? Because the<\/span> iron absorption in body<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from your diet is directly related to how much your body is able to store iron. Only 18% of the iron is absorbed by a healthy person of the available iron from a Western diet, which also includes animal products. On the contrary, only 10% is absorbed if eating only a vegetarian diet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surprisingly, this<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> number can be much less even if you eat a high iron-rich diet. The primary reason is the already existing iron in your body. There are various places where the iron is stored in your body, including the liver. If the already stored iron percentage is high, the <\/span>iron absorption<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from food happens less and vice versa. To boost your iron intake, you can add<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthkart.com\/iron?navKey=SCT-vs-min-iron\"> \u2018<\/a><\/span>iron tablets<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019 to your routine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Food_Sources_Rich_in_Iron\"><\/span><strong>Food Sources Rich in Iron<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People often feel that red meat is the only source of iron. However, many other food sources can help you with <\/span>iron absorption in body<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Iron that is absorbed from food can be categorised in two forms as heme and non-heme iron<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Let\u2019s look at both these sources:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heme_Iron\"><\/span><strong>Heme Iron<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sources of heme iron are animal food products rich in haemoglobin, such as meat, poultry, and fish. It is the best form, and almost 40% of<\/span> iron absorption <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">readily happens. Some other sources are beef, pork, veal, shellfish, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Non-Heme_Iron\"><\/span><strong>Non-Heme Iron<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This plant-based <\/span>iron absorption form <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is present in vegetables, grains, and fortified foods. This is added to iron-fortified or iron-enriched foods and other iron supplements. The body does not absorb the non-heme iron form as much as the heme-iron form. Some non-heme iron sources are rice, oats, wheat, spinach, apricots, kale, soybeans, lentils, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Food_That_Helps_With_Iron_Absorption\"><\/span><strong>Food That Helps With Iron Absorption<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As seen above, <\/span>iron absorption takes place in<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> heme sources better than non-heme sources. However, people who do not eat animal products may find <\/span>iron absorption problems<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Hence, they should include certain food products to help them with better <\/span>iron absorption<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Let\u2019s look at them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vitamin_C_Rich_Foods\"><\/span><strong>Vitamin C Rich Foods<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vitamin C has been linked to better <\/span>iron absorption in body<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The non-heme iron sources are captured by this vitamin and stored in a way more accessible for the body to absorb. Some vitamin C-rich foods are dark green leafy vegetables, citrus fruits, melons, bell peppers, and strawberries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Beta-carotene_and_Vitamin-A_Rich_Foods\"><\/span><strong>Beta-carotene and Vitamin-A Rich Foods<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your body needs vitamin A for <a href=\"https:\/\/connect.healthkart.com\/5-great-vitamins-for-eyesight\/\">healthy eyesight<\/a>, immunity, and bone growth. Beta-carotene is found in plants and fruits and is a red-orange pigment that can be converted as vitamin A in your body. Some sources of these foods are sweet potatoes, carrots, kale, spinach, red peppers, squash, apricots, peaches, and oranges.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vitamin A will assist in releasing the stored iron in your body and may help improve <\/span>iron absorption <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and prevent anaemia.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Foods_to_Limit_for_Effective_Iron_Absorption\"><\/span><strong>Foods to Limit for Effective Iron Absorption<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certain food products can reduce <\/span>iron absorption<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in your body.
