Iron is an essential mineral that plays a critical role in the production of hemoglobin in red blood cells, enabling oxygen transport throughout the body. It is also involved in various enzymatic reactions that support energy production and cellular metabolism. Iron is obtained through dietary sources, such as meat, fish, and leafy green vegetables. Iron deficiency can lead to anemia, characterized by fatigue, weakness, and reduced oxygen-carrying capacity in the blood. On the other hand, excessive iron levels in the body can be harmful and may lead to conditions like hemochromatosis. Maintaining a balanced iron intake is crucial for overall health, and supplements are sometimes prescribed to treat iron deficiency anemia.
