Iron is one of those nutrients you don’t think much about — until you’re running low.
For midlife women, maintaining healthy iron levels supports energy, focus, and overall wellbeing.
Why Iron Matters
As estrogen levels shift during menopause, iron metabolism can change too. Low iron can leave you feeling tired, foggy, or low on motivation. A nourishing breakfast with iron-rich ingredients can help you feel balanced and strong from the start of your day.
Ingredients to Boost Iron Naturally
🌿 Spinach: A plant-based source of non-heme iron.
🌿 Eggs: Provide protein and support iron absorption.
🌿 Beans or Lentils: Excellent plant protein with steady energy release.
🌿 Citrus or Bell Pepper: Vitamin C helps your body absorb iron more effectively.
