But before you toss the shoes in the trash or take a blowtorch to them, check out some ways that you can try to de-stink them and keep them smelling fresh. First things first: If your shoes are wet, let them dry. That means placing them in a sunny spot and letting them sit for at least 24 hours.
Iron is a mineral that the body needs for growth and development. Your body uses iron to make hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body, and myoglobin, a protein that provides oxygen to muscles. Your body also needs iron to make some hormones and connective tissue.
About a quarter of the body's iron is found in readily metabolised stores as ferritin or haemosiderin in the liver and reticulo-endothelial system. The remaining iron is in the myoglobin of muscle tissue and a variety of enzymes necessary for oxidative metabolism and other cell functions.
