2. Growing children need iron in their diet. Iron is the nutrient
needed to make haemoglobin, which is the component of the
red blood cells that carries oxygen. Red blood cells circulate
throughout the body to deliver oxygen from the lungs to the
various parts of the body. If your child’s diet lacks iron, he or she
may develop iron deficiency, which will make it difficult for his
or her body to make enough red blood cells.As a result, tissues
and organs won’t be able to get the amount of oxygen they need.
5. You may have resisted Brussels sprouts as a child, but once you
realise how healthy they are, you will be more than inclined to
include these veggies in your children’s diet.Acup of Brussels
sprouts contain 1.8 milligrams of iron, fulfilling 10% of your daily
requirement.Aside from being an excellent source of iron, they are
rich in antioxidants, vitamins, folate, and fibre. I know this may
sound impossible however it’s amazing what games you can play
with shapes and dipping sauce with these brilliant vegetables. We
often put them on toothpicks and dip them in white sauce or gravy.

iron, but cooking them will make it much easier for the
body to absorb their nutrients. One cup of cooked spinach
contains more than 6mg of iron. It is also rich in protein,
fibre, calcium, and vitaminsAand E. Many children don’t
like the taste of spinach but the good news is spinach is an
easy ingredient to sneak into most of your recipes.

of iron per cup. In addition to
that, they are also loaded with
fibre that can fill your children’s
tummies. Lentils are good for
adults, too, as they help lower
your cholesterol and keep your
blood sugar levels stable.
10. Another iron powerhouse, apricots, whether raw, canned, cooked,
or dried, is a great source of this key nutrient. But if you want
your children to a have good dose of iron in their diet, feeding
them dried apricots will do the trick.Acup of apricots provide
4mg of iron and when they are dried, they lose their high water
and sugar content without losing their key nutrients.
12. Best eaten fresh, strawberries provide an excellent
way for your children to improve their daily iron
