Iron is a mineral that works with other substances to create hemoglobin, the compound that carries oxygen in the blood.


Iron absorption can be impaired by very high-fiber diets, alcohol, the tannic acid in tea and concentrated sources of calcium (for example, calcium supplements).


The best source of iron is red meat, with smaller amounts in chicken and fish. Iron is also present in plant foods such as legumes, nuts, whole grain breads and cereals, and green leafy vegetables, but it is not absorbed as well from these foods.


Eating foods rich in Vitamin C alongside iron-rich foods can improve iron absorption.

One of the biggest topics in the raw food world is the Vitamin B12 debate. Taking B12 supplements is controversial because it can be really helpful if you have a B12 deficiency, but then if you are overdosing on B12 then your body will naturally stop producing this vitamin on its own.

It’s true that correcting a B12 deficiency will lead to better sleep, a better mood and perhaps weight loss.

It’s good to know the facts.

For starters, people are the most productive when they wake up, and setting up a routine ensures that they maintain that level of productivity for longer periods of time.


Following a system when you first wake up, means you’ll have more time to reflect in a quiet atmosphere (less hustle and bustle) and it gives you the opportunity to be organized for the rest of the day. More importantly, this daily habit helps you create energy and the right “mindset” to tackle the challenges of a busy day.

Consider including some of the following ideas into a morning routine that makes the most sense to you and your specific situation …

#1. Fix Something That Has Been Neglected

Most of us have a number of small things that need some attention. The longer these tasks are postponed, the more they add to our stress levels, for example:

Unmade beds

Cluttered mail

Unsorted laundry

Messy kitchen

Trash that needs to be taken out

These are tasks that can be fixed in a matter of minutes, yet we often postpone and ignore them for the rest of the day since we’re too busy with something else.


Take care of these lingering tasks to see a dramatic decrease in your levels of stress!

#2. Weigh Yourself Every Day

Weighing yourself on a regular basis can help you establish clear health and fitness goals. Also, it’s important to know that your weight will fluctuate on a daily basis, so you don’t have to be bummed if your weight goes up for a day or two. Finally, be sure you weigh yourself at the same time for the most accurate results.
