Iron <\/b>is an important mineral required by the human body. Appropriate body functions can only be performed if iron is supplied to the body in adequate amount. Too much supply of iron can cause negative effects to take place.<\/p>\n

Hemochromatosis <\/b>is a disease that increases absorption level of iron inside the body. It leads to liver damage. Excess iron intake is often linked to increase of risk to cancer and heart disease. 7mg<\/b> iron for 1000 calories<\/b> intake is the appropriate iron consumption for an individual.<\/p>\n

Low Iron Diet<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n

Grains <\/b>\u00e2\u20ac\u201c They are a good source to gain iron. You can find grains with less than 1mg<\/b> iron per serving. You may see the label on grain packaging for this purpose. Commercially prepared breads are rich in iron. Make bread at home by using non-rich iron flour<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Vegetables <\/b>\u00e2\u20ac\u201c Almost all the veggies contain low iron content. Dark green leafy vegetables<\/b> like spinach are absolutely iron free. Tomatoes and broccoli contain huge amount of iron so avoid them. On the other hand, potatoes <\/b>and carrot <\/b>contain moderate amount of iron content.<\/p>

\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n

Fruits <\/b>\u00e2\u20ac\u201c Vitamin C<\/b> rich fruits enhance level of iron absorption. It is recommended to avoid such fruits. Oranges contain least amount of iron content. Majority of the fruits contain 0.5mg to <\/b><\/b>1mg<\/b> iron in 1 fruit item.<\/p>\n

Beans and Meat<\/b> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c They contain highest amount of iron which is absorbable. Eggs <\/b>and peanuts <\/b>are low in iron content. Both contain only 1mg<\/b> iron per serving. Ground beef and pinto beans are also rich in iron so ignore them. Tofu <\/b>is another food item that is rich in iron. The only option you have within this category is to eat in low quantity and less often the meals prepared with inclusion of beans <\/b>and meat<\/b>.<\/p>\n
