Iron helps your blood carry oxygen to all parts of your body so you can move, play, and think clearly. It also keeps your muscles working and helps your body make important hormones! Iron is especially important for growing babies and small children and those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

You can get iron from foods like meat, beans, spinach, nuts, and cereal. đŸ„Ź Need help eating healthy? WIC can help! Find a clinic near you: www.signupwic.com/find-a-clinic

It’s not as complicated as it seems! Start with easy-to-grow plants, and before you know it, you'll be harvesting fresh fruits 🍓, veggies đŸ„•, herbs 🌿, legumes đŸ«˜, or even mushrooms 🍄!
