Iron is an essential mineral used to transport oxygen to all parts of the body. A slight deficiency in iron causes anemia (fatigue/weakness), and a chronic deficiency can lead to organ failure. Conversely, too much iron leads to production of harmful free radicals, and interferes with metabolism, causing damage to organs like the heart and liver.  The body is able to regulate uptake of iron, so overdose is rare and usually only occurs when people take supplements. Iron from natural food sources, like the ones listed below, are considered safe and healthy. While iron is better absorbed from heme (meat) sources, non-heme (plant) iron is better regulated causing less damage to the body. The current percent daily value for iron is 18 milligrams (mg). Below is a list of high iron foods.  To boost the amount of iron in your diet, try these foods: Red meat Egg yolks Dark, leafy greens (spinach, collards) Dried fruit (prunes, raisins) Dried Apricots Sun Dried Tomatoes Cocoa Powder or ...

He kept silent the whole night, seems to be in deep thought with a lighted cigarette at all times. My feeling of disappointment only increased, here was a man wh...

The reason that the British gave was that Bengal was too large a State to be administered easily. But the people of Bengal knew the truth. The British were trying to destroy the unity of the people of Bengal. When the British announced the partition, the people of Bengal showed their unity by fasting. People came out on streets and sang patriotic songs.

No one is ever busy in his/her life.Its all about Priorities. Love doesn't start in morning & doesn't end in evening.  It starts wen you don't need it & it ends when you need it most. Tears don't come wen you miss A person But they come wen you don't want to miss a person. Never raise U'r voice just improve the Quality of U'r argument. Life is much like Facebook, people will like your problems & comments but everybody seems so busy in updating their own status. You regularly texts your friends they don't reply you, But if you text from new number everyone will reply that Who r'u ??? People have time for unknown but but are skeptical to cherish the known. -- Mail Forward (Unknown Source)
