4 Ways to Increase Your Iron Intake💪

Are you feeling tired, lightheaded or dizzy? 🥱
Have you been experiencing a racing heart or shortness of breath?

While fatigue is a perfectly normal part of recovering from pregnancy and birth (and of motherhood in general) sometimes these symptoms point to an iron deficiency.

👉🏽Iron deficiency is especially common during and after pregnancy, during which iron needs increase by 50% to support the placenta, growing baby, red blood cell production, and blood plasma. On top of that, delivery itself can lead to 500-1000 ml of blood loss! It’s no wonder your body may be depleted during postpartum. In fact, studies have found that the prevalence of anemia 1 week postpartum for unsupplemented women with vaginal births was 24%-26%!⠀

You can increase your iron intake and enhance its absorption by:
✅ Incorporating iron-rich foods into your diet. Animal products that contain the most absorbable heme iron, such as organ meats (liver, heart), oysters, beef, clams, lamb, poultry, and sardines are the best food sources. Non-heme sources include legumes and dark leafy greens. 🥩🦪🍖🥬🐟
✅ Consuming these iron-rich foods with vitamin C like fruits, tomatoes, spinach, cabbage, cauliflower, potatoes, and other green leafy vegetables🍊🍅🥬
✅ Cooking in cast iron pans/pots. Studies have reported increases anywhere from 2 to 24 times the amount of iron in the food compared to cooking in other pans
✅ Taking our heme iron rich Grass-fed Beef Liver Capsules, or an iron supplement like our Chewable Iron Chelate tablets, which is in a highly absorbable form that is gentle on the stomach. Plus, they are chewable and taste great!😋

✨8 POSTPARTUM NUTRITION TIPS YOU SHOULD KNOW✨

1️⃣Eat easily digestible foods
Labor and delivery can slow your digestive process way down. Ease constipation support your gut by providing nourishing foods (slow-cooked meats, stews and soups made with bone broth) that are easy to digest and absorb.

2️⃣Eat warming foods
Eating cold foods requires more energy because it requires the body to raise its temperature. Cold food can also "shock" your system and slow down digestion.

3️⃣Eat organ meats
Organ meats are nutritional powerhouses that can help you regain important nutrients after birth. They contain 100 times the amount of nutrients that muscle meats have and contain high amounts of B-12 and easily absorbable heme iron.

4️⃣Stay hydrated
Keeping up with hydration is important, especially if you’re breastfeeding and/or dealing with constipation. Aim to consume half of your body weight in ounces, plus another 24 ounces.

5️⃣Eat fiber-rich foods
Constipation is the most common digestive issue that you’re likely to experience. Nip the problem in the bud by increasing your fiber intake to improve your gut function. Aim to have 2/3 of your plate be plants.

6️⃣Eat nourishing fats
Did you know our brains are 60% fat? In order to replenish yourself and continue providing fatty acids to your baby through breastmilk, it is recommended to consume good sources of nourishing fats every day, in particular Omega-3 fatty acids.

7️⃣Eat iodine-rich foods
Iodine is an important nutrient that supports thyroid, brain, and metabolic function and health. Studies indicate that many postpartum women have insufficient iodine levels in their breastmilk, so eat iodine-rich foods for both you and your baby.

8️⃣Probiotic-rich foods
Probiotics can help promote a healthy balance of the good bacteria in your gut and help resolve digestive issues like constipation. They are especially beneficial for mothers who had C-sections and other medical interventions that required antibiotic use. Probiotics can also help minimize eczema, colic, and other digestive issues in breastfed babies.
