Iron
Iron is essential for oxygen transport and therefore physical activity and optimal brain function. Iron is also necessary for the production of energy from glucose, and critical for brain development. Insufficient iron can result in anaemia, fatigue, impaired physical performance and impaired cognitive functions such as concentration, memory and learning. Low iron intakes are common in Australia, and coupled with increased requirements among population sub-groups (such as adolescent girls, vegetarians and pregnant women), make iron deficiency a significant public health issue. Meat and Livestock Australia has developed a number of leaflets to help you address this issue with your patients.
