Fatigue is one of the most common challenges during menopause. While hormonal changes play a role, another hidden factor is low iron. Iron is essential for carrying oxygen in your blood — and when levels dip, so does your energy.
The good news? A few iron-rich meals in your weekly routine can make a big difference in supporting steady energy.
Why Iron Matters in Midlife
Women over 50 are still at risk of low iron, especially if their diets don’t include enough iron-rich foods. Iron supports red blood cell production, energy metabolism, and even focus. Too little can leave you feeling tired, foggy, and run down.
Iron-Rich Meals to Try
- Spinach & Lentil Stew
Combine lentils, fresh spinach, carrots, and tomatoes for a hearty, plant-based dish packed with iron and fiber. - Beef & Veggie Stir-Fry
A quick skillet meal with lean beef, broccoli, bell peppers, and soy sauce. Iron plus vitamin C-rich veggies help absorption. - Spinach Omelet with Tomatoes
Eggs contain iron, and paired with spinach and cherry tomatoes, you’ve got a light, energy-boosting meal. - Chickpea & Quinoa Bowl
Chickpeas and quinoa are both plant-based sources of iron. Add roasted vegetables and a lemon-tahini dressing for flavor.
