Iron is often an overlooked nutrient when it comes to our health. Many individuals lack the iron that is necessary for the body to function properly. When a person does not receive enough iron, they are referred to as being "anemic". There are many uncomfortable symptoms associated with this medical condition, they include the following:

• Decrease in energy levels • The heart works harder to pump blood to the rest of the body • Complications associated with blood pressure levels • Skin that is pale • A general lack of defense in the immune system • Periodic Headaches • Problems when it comes to sleeping

Each and every single day we are exposed to dangerous toxins and pollutants that can result in many serious health problems. We often associate these toxins to those that are considered to be "environmental". It is very rare that we look inside our home, and to our cookware, as a potential culprit for these problems. However, if you use anything other than enameled cast iron cookware and you have no other explanation for why you feel so terrible, this may be the leading cause.
