Iron Rich Recipes

TACKLING ANAEMIA

It's all in the diet. Getting the right amount of iron and other nutrients from food is very important. As we grow older we need more iron and nutrients, but tend to pay less and less attention to what we're eating. A little care with diet can help keep anaemia at bay.

Iron is found in two different forms in foods. They are called 'Haeme' and 'Non Haeme' iron. Animal foods like meat, fish, poultry, egg etc contain iron in its haeme form while the non-haeme form of iron is found in all plant foods.

Haeme iron is more easily absorbed than non-haeme iron and hence animal foods are considered to be a comparatively better source of iron. But vegetarians need not despair, for there are plenty of iron rich plant sources as is demonstrated.
