Good food sources of iron is best gotten from unrefined foods. Some

of the best food sources for iron found in food are seaweed's, and

micro algae such as spirulina. Folic acid is essentially important

and is found in chlorophyll rich foods, leafy greens and sprouts.

 

To increase iron absorbstion, alfalfa leads the list, rich in

chlorophyll. It contains enzymes which help the body to assimilate

protein, fats and carbohydrates. Alfalfa contains important

nutrients and protein, carotene, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium,

phosphorus, sodium, sulfur, silicon, chlorine, cobalt, zinc, as well

as the vitamins K and P. Cherries also contain an excellent source

of iron for poor blood disorders such as anima.

 

Elaine knew what she was doing when she sent out her recipe for

Hummus. Chick peas, also known as gabonzo beans contain more iron

than any other legume and its an good source of unsaturated fats.

 

In order for the body to absorb iron from foods we eat, be sure you

are getting adequate copper and B vitamins, including vitamin C.
