I stumbled across your site by accident about a year ago and admit to being a skeptic. Over the last year or so I have been stunned by the accuracy of your tarot predictions each week. This Sunday's prediction was for the end to financial hardship. On Monday I received an offer of employment which arrived after over a year of unemployment due to illness. Not only was it a job for which I am well qualified, but also a 40% pay increase over what I was earning before I became unwell, and working in an industry I had never before considered. This not the first time you have been correct -- you've predicted major arguments, frustrations, and unexpected travel. I'm beginning to wonder if there isn't more to tarot than meets the eye!

Recommended Daily Allowance
The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for iron in healthy adults is 10 milligrams per day for men and 15 milligrams per day for premenopausal women. Premenopausal women's needs are higher than men's needs because women lose lots of iron during menstruation.
Pregnant women will need as much as 30 milligrams of iron per day because the unborn baby needs iron for development.
One interesting fact about iron is that it has the ability to regulate how much the body absorbs. When current iron levels in the body are normal, no iron is absorbed. When level gets reduced, the body goes into iron absorption mode.
Good dietary sources of iron
Food contains two types of iron - heme iron and nonheme iron.
Heme iron is derived from haemoglobin, and is found in animal foods that originally contained hemoglobin, such as red meat, fish, shellfish and poultry. Iron from these sources is readily absorbed in the intestines.
Iron from plant foods include lentils, dried fruits, nuts and seeds, leafy green vegetables such as spinach, whole grains, fortified cereals and breads, peas and beans is arranged in a chemical structure called non-heme iron. Other sources of dietary iron include green leafy vegetables, tofu, chickpeas, and strawberries.
Heme iron is absorbed better than non-heme iron, but most dietary iron is non-heme iron. Non-heme iron is absorbed better when it is consumed along with animal protein and Vitamin C. Therefore, it is beneficial to consume citrus fruits or juices which are high in vitamin C, along with foods that contain iron.
Is a high iron diet or excess iron supplement harmful?
There are some instances in which a high iron diet can prove to be harmful.
People suffering from hemochromatosis (a common hereditary disorder where the body is unable to adjust to the amount of iron that is absorbed and stored) need to avoid iron rich foods. This can lead to severe damage to the liver, heart, and pancreas.
Chronic liver disease can also result in excessive amounts of iron being stored in the liver - thereby aggravating the damage done to the liver.
The most common side effect from excess iron supplements is stomach upset including discomfort, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and heartburn. Stools become dark green or black when iron supplements are taken orally.
Do not take iron supplements along with antacids or calcium supplements at the same time – give a gap of atleast 1-2 hours.
