Iron is a vital trace element. First of all, women 20-50 years old need it, since the fairer sex lose more blood throughout their lives than men. For example, during childbirth and menstruation. Therefore, it is very important for them to eat iron-containing fruits in order to prevent anemia.
Instructions
Step 1
Do not think that men and children do not need iron. By consuming iron in berries and fruits, you can get rid of increased fatigue, apathy, and dizziness. To increase the efficiency and resistance of the body during the period of seasonal exacerbation of diseases.
Step 2
The richest plant source of iron is blueberry - 7 mg per 100 g. This berry also contains copper and vitamin C, which greatly increase the absorption of iron. Blueberries are extremely useful for diseases of the eyes, intestines, kidneys. Tea made from dried berries removes putrefactive decomposition products from the body, and also relieves the kidneys from sand.
Step 3
The second source of iron is black currant (5.2 mg per 100 g). Not only berries are useful, but also currant leaves. They contain a lot of vitamin C and copper, which are perfectly combined with iron. But since calcium and magnesium are present in black currants, which reduce its absorption, this berry cannot be considered the most valuable source of iron. Therefore, currants often act as a remedy for scurvy and viral diseases, and not for anemia.
Step 4
There is enough iron in apricots, more precisely, in dried apricots. This product contains 4.7 mg of a trace element per 100 g. Therefore, a decoction of dried apricots helps to get rid of anemia and blood pressure, problems with blood circulation and vision. Dried apricots are also a great way to support immunity during the cold season.
Step 5
Peach is quite valuable as a source of iron - 4, 1 mg per 100 g. Which, moreover, contains a large amount of vitamin A, which makes it possible to consume iron found in the liver.
Step 6
The most popular iron-rich fruits are apples. Although, in comparison with blueberries and dried apricots, they do not contain so much of this trace element - only 2.2 mg per 100 g. But the juice of fresh sour apples significantly increases the level of iron in the blood with iron deficiency anemia, regulates the content of vitamin C in the body and prevents avitaminosis. Plus, almost no one is allergic to apples, so they are a very valuable fruit.
Step 7
Iron is also present in raspberries, although not in such quantities as in blueberries or black currants. Despite the small content of this trace element - 1.7 mg per 100 g - it is perfectly absorbed, since the berry is rich in copper and vitamin C.
Step 8
A valuable source of energy - bananas - also contains iron - 0.8 mg per 100 g. Bananas are usually given to children, as they are hypoallergenic.
Step 9
Adults who need iron the most should not consume these fruits and berries with cottage cheese and dairy products, as calcium reduces the absorption of iron. But babies up to six months, who need only 0.27 mg of a trace element per day (compared to the adult norm of 15-18 mg), can be given blueberries, currants, raspberries and banana with curd, since calcium is more important for them.
