12 Signs Your Body Needs Iron.
Iron is an essential mineral involved in over 400 enzymes in the body. It's heavily involved with transporting oxygen through the blood, in making and encoding DNA and making cellular energy throughout the body.
Standard routine blood tests often focus primarily on hemoglobin, which means early or hidden iron deficiencies can sometimes be overlooked on a standard panel.
For this reason, today we identify 12 common yet strange signs of iron deficiency to watch out for including hearing your heartbeat in your ear, nails bending inwards, craving ice, having a smoother tongue amongst others.
I also explain why iron deficiency happens, and some natural ways to boost your iron intake, and activate it inside the body.
