Iron Vital for Overall Health Including SKIN!

This mostly goes out to the women of the world since we are more susceptible to iron-deficiency anemia than men. But everyone can benefit from including healthy levels of iron in their diets. After all it's our overall health and wellness that is often reflected in our complexions. The better we take care of our bodies, the more natural and nutrient rich foods we eat, the better our skin looks.

Some good sources of iron: spinach, kidney beans, baked beans, peas and apricots. Certain cereals and whole grains are fortified with iron too. Eat your iron rich foods along with oranges, grapefruit, tomatoes and broccoli. The Vitamin C allows for better iron absorption. Your skin will look more radiant and toned in no time!
