Iron deficiency can seriously hinder your work out

Do you find that you aren’t getting as much out of your gym sessions as you’d like? Maybe you started the New Year by joining a gym but find you have already fallen behind with your fitness regime. If you are combining exercise with dieting, you could be missing out on essential nutrients. Low iron levels, for example, mean that the red blood cells are not delivering enough oxygen to the tissues and muscles, which results in low energy. A combination of an inadequate diet, iron lost through sweat and poor absorption means that females are likely to end their session needing even more.

91% of women aged between 19 and 64 years are consuming less than the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of iron – but that doesn’t necessarily mean being anaemic. Fatigue can begin long before anaemia sets in, which could be enough to stop you before you even start to exercise. Boosting your energy levels can be just a matter of improving your diet, but most health professionals also recommend giving nature a helping hand.

Iron is a part of haemoglobin and myoglobin, the parts of the blood, which carry oxygen around the body and help muscle cells to store it. People who are iron insufficient get tired very easily because their bodies are short of oxygen. Supplementation may be the answer for those who are finding it hard to include enough iron rich foods in their diet. Yet conventional iron supplements can have unpleasant side effects such as constipation, stomach upset or headaches. Spatone however is a unique natural iron-containing spring water found in the Welsh mountains of Snowdonia National Park that is clinically proven not to cause constipation and is a 100% natural iron rich water.
