Iron-Rich Foods
05/25/07

Most of us can stave off iron deficiency by eating a balanced diet, but high-carbohydrate athletic diets may not give you enough, especially for those engaged in hard training.  Many foods are rich in iron including:

• fortified cereals

• soy products

• leafy green vegetables

• broccoli

• baked potatoes (with skins)

• liver

• beef, pork and lamb

(also great for icing shoulders!)

Iron is one of the nutrients required to be included on food labels, so it's easy to get a feeling for iron sources by getting in the habit of reading labels.  GO WWSWIM!
