The body needs iron to function. Without it, our red blood cells don't work to carry oxygen to the rest of the body, among other things. Iron deficiency can make us weak and cause our skin color to be more pale than it should be; if iron deficiency is severe, it can (in extreme cases) be fatal. Many foods are rich in iron (spinach, liver, asparagus, salmon) which serve us by delivering natural iron for the body to use. If we don't eat food with iron, we need to take iron supplements...one way or the other, we have to get iron nutrients in order to remain well. Women have a higher risk of iron deficiency than men for obvious reasons and should be particularly mindful of getting enough iron-rich foods in their diets.
