šŸ«”Letā€™s learn somethingā€¦šŸ§ 
Spinach is known to have a large amount of iron with low calories. Unfortunately, the majority of that iron is USELESS.
This isnā€™t a ā€œgreen shamingā€ post, just trying to save you some time if you need iron in your diet.
The iron in spinach is a ā€˜non-hemeā€™ iron, simply meaning not fully absorbed (low-bioavailability). The iron from spinach has a 2-10% absorption rate.
Next, raw spinach has a lower percentage due to oxalates preventing absorption all together. Unless cooked, spinach is not providing adequate iron supplies to you and even when cooked youā€™re still only absorbing roughly 2-10% of that iron. To meet iron daily needs you would have to eat a large amount of spinach.
Meats are a ā€˜hemeā€™ iron source (high-bioavailability). Specifically beef and chicken liver are great sources of heme AND non-heme iron.
There is no comparison when it comes to providing your body with the iron it needs. Beef is roughly 50% heme and 50% non-heme. The heme iron in beef is fully absorbed and then the 2-10% of the non-heme in the beef is ALSO absorbed.
Again this isnā€™t to knock spinach or dark greens because they are great sources of other nutrients, especially vitamin C. The main point is to remember that your iron supply will be best met by consuming meat.

šŸ„øLetā€™s gain some knowledgešŸ«”
An electrolyte is a substance that conducts electricity when dissolved in water. Electrolytes, such as sodium and potassium, are essential for a number of functions in the body. This electricity is used throughout the human body for function of automatic systems. They cause interactions between your tissue, nerves, and muscles, to communicate properly.
Common symptoms of electrolyte imbalance include fatigue, twitching, changes in blood pressure, excessive tiredness, confusion, nervous system disorders, and convulsions/seizures.
These symptoms can come from having too many electrolytes or too few electrolytes in your body.
Checking your hydration is the first step to working towards an electrolyte balance.
You can also ask your doctor to perform an ā€œelectrolyte panelā€ to determine your electrolyte levels and which specific electrolytes you may need to work on.
Drink that water and feel better
