Looking for some natural sources of dietary iron? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Symptoms of low iron include fatigue, headaches, dizziness or dry damaged hair or skin. Iron supplements can upset your stomach, making it hard to be compliant with doctor’s advice. Getting a healthy dose of iron in your diet can help raise iron levels naturally. If you’re a fan of seafood, shrimp cocktail is low in calories and 3 ½ ounces can provide 14% of your daily iron recommendation. That same amount of spinach can provide 20%. And for you chocolate lovers, one ounce of dark chocolate can provide 19%. So, if you really want to drive home the iron, have a spinach and shrimp salad with an ounce of dark chocolate for dessert. This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a global leader in preventative medicine.
