As a result sometimes I don\u2019t get enough nutrients or make the best decisions when it comes to meal time. Sometimes this is a struggle medically. When I don\u2019t eat right the regular blood tests that I go for typically show something as being out of whack. Because I\u2019m a legal adult and they don\u2019t leave messages on my mom\u2019s answering machine anymore, they call my cell phone instead. This used to be convenient, but now it just seems as if my doctor is another parent. The most common issue that I have is that my iron levels are low. I\u2019m normally pretty anemic, but when there\u2019s a big jump in numbers they ask me to make changes in my daily routine. For one I take supplements, which help out a lot, but I often forget to take them. The other way to increase iron intake is to change your diet. This was something that I kept in mind while watching all of the food presentations in psychology. I normally eat spinach, almonds, and try to eat red meat, but sometimes it just isn&#8217;t available. So thank you to those of you that gave presentations which touched on your food&#8217;s iron content or lack there of. It was helpful!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Shannon<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I mentioned in an earlier entry, I work at\u00a0a camp that doesn\u2019t offer a lot of variety in food.
