Iron Meat
As a female athlete, should I start eating red meat to ensure that I get enough iron?
I've been abstaining from red meat because I'm not crazy about it and it has a lot of calories/fat, however, I'm concerned about not getting enough iron, as I know that iron is very easily absorbed from red meat. I know there are other foods that contain iron (i.e.legumes), but I have heard that the body does not take in most of the iron contained in other foods.
Being an athlete, iron is important in the production of red blood cells. If you want iron and don't want to eat red meat your best choice would be to get iron pills.
These can be found at any of your local pharmacies in the vitamin section. If you cant find iron by itself you can easily find them in other multi vitamins. There is nothing harmful about taking iron pills as long as you don't overdose. Too much iron can cause iron poisoning (this happened usually when kids ate flinstone vitamins like candy)
GOOD LUCK!
