Wellbeing A-Z -Iron

The video discusses the importance of iron in the body, highlighting its role in oxygen absorption and the consequences of deficiency, such as fatigue and anaemia. It explains the difference between heme and non-heme iron, noting that heme iron from animal sources is more easily absorbed. Seafood, particularly oysters, is identified as a rich source of iron. For those who do not consume animal products, iron supplements are suggested. The video also advises against consuming tea with meals due to tannins that inhibit iron absorption, recommending orange juice as an alternative.
