Absorbing Iron from Food
Rule one: Pair plant iron with vitamin C. Every time. No excuses. Rule two: Wait an hour after eating before tea, coffee, or milk. Rule three: Cook with cast iron when possible. Rule four: Don’t panic—your body is smart. It adapts. Iron absorption isn’t a crisis; it’s a fun little puzzle.
You now know more about iron than most vampires. Go eat a steak with a slice of orange. Or spinach with lemon. Your blood will do a happy dance—and you’ll have a weird, cool party fact for your next dinner conversation. Go, absorb the world.
