Common symptoms of iron deficiency include extreme tiredness, lethargy, feeling faint and headaches, pale skin, irregular heartbeat, and shortness of breath. The lack of this component in the human body also depletes the conduction of electrical charges between cells and as a result poor muscle functioning and tiredness occurs. To decrease DV deficiency you should eat more iron-rich foods. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends the following products, such as beef, chicken liver, broccoli, nuts, fortified cereals, whole grains, dark chocolate, and dried apricots to be included in DV's diet to improve his iron level. MyPlate (2014) also suggests a number of iron-rich produce as green vegetables, including turnip, kale, romaine lettuce, kale, dark green leaf lettuce, bok choy, and spinach. The entire set of products can definitely be integrated into DV's daily diet. Dried fruits such as prunes, apricots and raisins can be used as a snack instead of sweets, because they are rich in iron and potassium. There is growing evidence that better nutrition and adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals come from food
