I was recently told by my doctor that I have a very low iron, so I was referred to a dietitian to help me with food suggestions that can boost my iron consumption and help my body store more iron. We all need iron to help build red blood cells and also help carry oxygen from the lungs to every cell in our body.

The importance of iron cannot be overemphasized, a woman between the ages of 18 to 49 years old needs 18 mg of iron daily. If you are pregnant you need even more iron to sustain you and the baby. If you don't get enough iron, you may feel tired, out of breath, irritable, lack concentration or look pale.

It is that time of the year again, to prepare our kids to get back to school. I am just like every other parent out there, rushing up and down to get the kids ready for school resumption. The list of items needed is always overwhelming,  it is both exciting but expensive to meet up with all the demands and sometimes we just need a little help.
