The summer wind, came blowin' in-from across the sea. It lingered there, to touch your hair-and walk with me. All summer long, we sang a song-and then we strolled that golden sand. Two sweethearts, and the summer wind. Like painted kites, those days and nights-they went flyin' by.
Iron is a trace mineral needed to make hemoglobin, the protein needed to carry oxygen throughout the body. Hemoglobin gives red blood cells their color, and stores most of the body s iron supply. Iron is also stored in muscle tissue, and helps supply the muscles with the oxygen needed to make them contract.
Iron is an essential mineral and an important component of proteins involved in oxygen transport and metabolism Almost two-thirds of the iron in your body is found in hemoglob â¦ in, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to your body's tissues. Smaller amounts of iron are found in myoglobin, a protein that helps supply oxygen to muscle, and in enzymes that assist biochemical reactions in cells. About 15 percent of your body's iron is stored for future needs and mobilized when dietary intake is inadequate. The remainder is in your body's tissues as part of proteins that help your body function. Adult men and post-menopausal women lose very little iron except through bleeding.
