Iron is an essential nutrient needed by our body. It plays a role in transporting oxygen to where it is needed in our body, and that is why low levels of iron leave us feeling tired, fatigued and lethargic. Our bodies can't produce iron on their own, so we need to get it through our diets.

Iron can be found in many foods such as spinach, legumes, edamame beans, chickpeas, red meat, liver, oysters, pumpkin seeds, quinoa and fortified breakfasts.

If you have symptoms of low iron, speak to your healthcare practitioner so they can test your iron levels.
