Avoid to take your iron (nutrition or supplement) with coffee, tea, milk or coke, all these beverages inhibit the resorption of iron. Orange juice would be a much better choice.
Some studies also show that intense exercise can increase pressure on the lungs, which allows red blood cells to leak into air sacs, possibly causing that metallic taste. No cause for worry, says Gerald Zavorsky, PhD, associate professor of health and sport sciences at the University of Louisville. It’s only temporary
Nice video. One thing to add. If you are diabetic keep your sugars down. Watch that A1c because excess sugar inhibits the ability to absorb iron any kind of iron
What about people who store too much Iron? Should people get tested first before assuming their Iron levels are low? I know I store a lot of Iron and a lot of people with European ancestry do as well. Also, I wanted to find out what's better for endurance boosting, MCT oil or coconut oil?
What about for vegans? What would be your approach? How much lentils, beans, etc. would you be eating weekly to avoid having to take supplements? Or, are pills inevitable on a vegan diet in this regard? Thanks
I have a video on iron on my channel too that I posted recently! Your point of view is different though. Thanks for putting it together and explaining it so well.
If your getting your iron from food your good to go, unless you have genetic hemochromatosis. If supplementing, best have a blood test to insure that you require iron since too high iron levels are not healthy; a serum ferritin will tell you about your stored iron, serum iron and TIBC help determine current iron status. Have a doc who is good with nutrition help interpret the tests.
Dear coach Elizabeth, Thank you for another great video. The marketplace is saturated with various brands of liquid iron products. Looking for a specific recommendation, What are the best liquid iron products I should consider taking?
I use to take liquid iron from CVS. They use to sell a non-brand supplement. I just recently started running again after 2 years, and wanted to get back into taking iron. However, CVS now requires a prescription from a doctor to get liquid iron, unfortunate.
Yes I'm a frequent walker .my iron is always low.I hate that fiber makes it hard for iron to absorb.in my case I can take a small amount of iron and right away I'm constipated. Then I bloat and retain water.if anyone knows what could help this let me know.
Sanjeev Kumar Drink water before you walk and see if it stops. If I don’t drink half a pint before a run I always get a stitch. Breathing can also cause a stitch I think 🤔 if you breath out with your right foot it can cause a jolt to the liver which can also cause a stitch. Try breathing out on your left foot forward. If you have any concerns see your GP
Can you get too much iron? If so, does the body just get rid of it or could it be a problem.....and what would be the downside of too much? Thanks...loved the video
Yes, you can absolutely get too much iron. Please get a complete blood count and iron studies before considering iron supplementation. Once absorbed, it can be rather difficult for the body to get rid of depending on gender. Females menstruate every month so we lose iron through the menstrual bleeding. This is the reason why more females have iron deficiency anemia. Males, unless they are bleeding somewhere, they typically won't get rid of iron easily. Usually if males (or postmenopausal females) experience iron deficiency anemia, it raises concerns for other diseases that may be source of bleeding, the most common in older people being colon cancer. Too much iron can cause hemochromatosis where iron is deposited various organs including, liver, heart and pancrease and may lead to organ failure. Again, it is important to get a blood test to check for iron deficiency and find the possible causes before supplementing iron.
If you get your iron checked also make sure you have your ferritin levels checked. Not mentioned in the vlog, but do not take iron with any calcium or caffeine. Those will also block absorption. Hopefully your levels are good!
Nice video again. I think the vitamin C could have been stressed more. It's not only for supplements, but helps all iron intake. With that steak too.

She bit down on that fence

Great video on such a hot matter for runners!

Great video!Thanks for making them!
Good Evening Coach Elizabeth thanks for the video 👍
Cook in cast iron pans, too.
Thanks Coach! Nice video.
Thank you for video. There's one more point, Folic Acid supplements can also help.
What about for vegans? What would be your approach? How much lentils, beans, etc. would you be eating weekly to avoid having to take supplements? Or, are pills inevitable on a vegan diet in this regard? Thanks
Thats interesting about the inflammation. Thanks for the advice.
Thanks for the info, The Run Experience
Yes i need that coach

Me too!!
Thanks choice video 👍
is this video recorded in portugal ?
No. It was filmed in San Francisco, CA. :)
@@TheRunExperiencewe have a bridge that look the same called "ponte 25 de abril"
What happened to coach Elizabeth? I have not seen her in a long time.
she recommends micrograms, but means miligrams
a standard iron tablet has 20 miligrams of iron
I was about to ask that question
I've been getting side stitches while I walk lately. My breathing is good as far as I know. Is this something serious 😥😥😥?

Thks Judy great info...…..blood test on Wednesday for me!

Cool....thanks dude....I'm getting it done today
MICRO grams? Don't you mean milligrams?
You are right, it must be milligrams (mg)! That's a thousand times more than micrograms (µg).
J L no, she definitely means micrograms
Not at all good advice. Wrong in so many levels.
