00:00Want to increase your iron naturally?
00:02These seven foods can help boost your dietary intake.
00:05Chicken liver is among the richest options, providing 10.8 milligrams in three ounces.
00:10Cooked oysters also contain plenty of iron, with 6.1 milligrams per three ounce serving.
00:17Beef liver provides another source, delivering about 5.2 milligrams in three ounces.
00:22For plant-based choices, cooked soybeans offer 8.8 milligrams per cup.
00:27Lentils are another iron-rich option, providing 7.2 milligrams per 100 grams.
00:33Pumpkin seeds can add iron, too, with about 2.5 milligrams per ounce.
00:37And one cup of raw spinach provides around 3 milligrams of iron.
00:41Iron from meat and seafood is called heme iron and is generally easier to absorb.
00:46Plant foods contain non-heme iron, which the body absorbs less efficiently.
00:51Adding vitamin C-rich foods can help improve the absorption of non-heme iron.
00:55Experts also recommend getting iron from a variety of foods as part of a balanced diet.
01:00From lentils to spinach, these everyday choices can help support healthy iron intake.
