Silent Signals: Are You Tired, or Is It Iron Deficiency?

Nutritional Strategy and Diet
Alongside medication, consuming iron-rich foods is essential. There are two types of iron: "Heme" iron (found in animal sources like red meat and liver), which has very high absorption, and "Non-Heme" iron (found in plant sources like lentils, spinach, and legumes), which is less easily absorbed. Combining plant sources with citrus fruits or meat can significantly increase the absorption of plant-based iron.
