Iron deficiency is caused by not eating enough iron in your diet. Iron is necessary in your blood in order to carry oxygen, and is the primary reason your blood is red.
Places to get iron:
- red meat (a favorite point among carnivores)
- egg yolks (a favorite point among those who don't like egg whites)
- Spinach (and other dark-leafy greens technically)
- Prunes/raisins (a favorite among those with a sweet tooth)
- oysters/clams
- turkey/chicken gibblets
- beans, lentils, soybeans (favorite among herbivores)
- Liver
- Artichoke hearts
