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.
Iron is a part of all cells and does many things in our bodies. For example, iron (as part of the protein hemoglobin) carries oxygen from our lungs throughout our bodies.Having too little hemoglobin is called anemia. Iron also helps our muscles store and use oxygen. Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency and the leading cause of anemia in the United States. 2  Iron deficiency is due either to increased need for iron by the body or a decreased absorption or amount of iron taken in.
