Help Low Iron

At least 5 servings a week of red meat, and green vegetables, like spinach broccolli...Thats a start that I can think of..

Besides Liver, I don't of any recipes. Have he thought about taking a iron supplement.

I think the easiest way to ensure your iron level is high enough is to take a supplement. Just make sure he drinks plenty of liquids and has appropriate amounts of fiber in his diet as well because iron supplements can cause constipation. I had to take them through all 3 pregnancies!

The first thing that came to my mind was liver:) Since your hubby does not like that, how about trying this: You will need 1 TABLESPOON OLIVE OIL , 1 ONION, FINELY DICED 2 CLOVES GARLIC, CHOPPED , 1 RED CHILLI, FINELY CHOPPED 1 TEASPOON GROUND CUMMIN , 1 TABLESPOON CHOPPED OREGANO 3 ROMA TOMATOES, FINELY CHOPPED , 1 CUP COOKED KIDNEY BEANS ¼ CUP WATER , 300G PACKET VEGIE DELIGHTS TRADITIONAL SOY SAUSAGES HOME-STYLE , 2 CRUSTY FRENCH BREAD STICKS Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan and cook the onion and garlic over medium heat until soft. Add the chilli, cumin, oregano and tomato and cook for 10 minutes, or until the tomato breaks down. Add the kidney beans and water and cook for 5 minutes, or until the mixture starts to thicken. Chargrill or fry the Traditional Soy Sausages over medium heat for 5 minutes. Slice the bread sticks into six pieces, roughly the length of the Longa Life sausages. Cut each piece in half lengthways and top with a Longa Life sausage and a dollop of chilli beans. Sandwich with the top of the roll and serve wrapped in a napkin.

THIS IS MY SMALL HELP FOR YOU. PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY. What foods are good sources of iron? Iron is found in a variety of foods. Heme iron is found in meat, poultry, and fish. Nonheme iron is found in fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and legumes. The body absorbs heme iron better than nonheme iron.
