This week is World Iron Awareness Week, and we have put together a practical guide to getting more iron from everyday meals, covering:
• Which red meats are the richest sources of iron
• Haem vs non-haem iron, and why the difference matters
• Food pairings that may help your body absorb more iron
• What to keep away from iron-rich meals, including drinks and supplements
• Easier-to-tolerate options when red meat is hard to manage
