Iron makes feminine

Each body only needs 3-5 g of iron, but if it is missing, your health will have problems. Particularly for women, iron deficiency directly affects the development of gender.

Iron in meat is more easily absorbed in vegetables. (Photo: aboutorganics) At the age of puberty, girls with iron deficiency will have negative manifestations not only in muscle development but also in psychology and intellect. The first round measurement will not have a special change, the figure may still be as sprawling as the child, the sexual maturity will also come very slowly.

When menstruation is present, iron loses its blood every month. During pregnancy, childbirth, breast-feeding, the woman's body needs to "consume" twice as much iron as the previous period.

About 20% of the iron reserves will be "lost" during the breastfeeding period. Therefore, the risk of depression, hair loss, and sexual desire in this subject is 2-3 times higher than that of normal people. Iron deficiency in the blood is also the cause of easy bleeding.

The task of iron

Iron is involved in red blood cell synthesis. Iron assists in transporting oxygen to cells, ensuring the process of feeding them. It also has an oxygen storage function for muscles. Iron is also responsible for neutralizing some foreign ingredients from entering into the body, participating in the synthesis of prostate hormones and preserving immunity.

The iron deficiency crisis will destroy the function of many organs and systems in the body, weakening the ability to protect itself, overturning metabolism.

Iron is most effectively metabolized under the help of vitamin B12 and folic acid (vitamin B9); Since then blood is produced quickly and promptly. Therefore, B12 is also called "red vitamin". During the menstrual cycle, physicians encourage women to add 2 vitamins, plus a B-complex tablet (commonly known as 3B) to ensure body weight. Pregnant women can use double folic acid dose (under doctor's permission).

Alarm signs of iron deficiency

Dry skin, pale, flaky skin, hair, nails are broken and shed.

Tiredness, insomnia, fainting, dizziness, nausea, do not want to do anything, infection, inflammation, depression, depression, memory loss.

When the blood test shows that the red blood cell falls below 12 g / l, iron supplementation and nutritious food and vitamins are required.

Iron-rich foods (order from high to low): Pig liver, cocoa powder, beef liver, peanuts, cashew nuts, pears, chicken eggs, apples, cabbage, fish, cow's milk.

Note : Iron content in plants (vegetables, fruits) is difficult to transform 3-4 times more than iron from animal origin (meat).
