Women's Health Wednesday: IRON!

I have always had low-iron and that was increased when I stopped eating meat one year ago.

I get very bad periods (TMI?!) and always try to incorporate extra iron into my diet.

I probably don't do well enough in this area, but it's one that I am trying to get better at!

Today's WHW comes from the Women's Health website.

I love their website because it has most, if not all, of the articles from the magazines in an individual format.

This article lists 9 sources of iron to eat after a workout (and anytime!)

Here they are listed:

1. Lentils

2.Spinach

3.White Rice

4.Beef

5.Kidney Beans

6.Oysters

7.Tomatoes

8.Chickpeas

9.Potatoes

Go to the article for more info on these foods.

This is a pretty delish list! I never eat beef or oysters, but the others are regulars in my diet.

Hey, maybe I am not so low in iron as I thought!

You can make an awesome dish with most of this list: I am thinking all of the beans, rice, spinach and tomatoes? Sounds pretty good and very filling.
