Iron is very important for the proper functioning of the body, as it carries oxygen to all parts of the body.
A small deficiency can cause anaemia (and consequently fatigue and weakness), while chronic deficiency can lead to organ failure.
On the other hand, excessive iron intake can lead to the production of harmful free radicals and affect metabolism, causing damage to key vital organs such as the heart and liver.
However, because our body has the ability to regulate iron intake, overdose is not so common and occurs mainly through supplements.
Below are the foods that are rich in iron.
But remember: It's not enough to just consume foods with iron, but to allow your body to absorb it as well. The best way is to eat foods rich in vitamin C together.
