One of the most common nutritional deficiencies in us is iron deficiency. This is mostly with respect to kids and women. It is known to us that iron is a mineral that our body needs for growth and development plus it plays a role in the formation of haemoglobin. This haemoglobin aids in the transportation of oxygen throughout the body. The bitter fact is that deficiency of iron could lead to more serious issues like anaemia etc.
There are few mistakes that we make daily and these can result in iron deficiency in us.
By not eating breakfast regularly:
It must be noted that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It is essential that we must eat breakfast compulsorily to replenish our body`s nutrient levels after fasting in the night. Mostly, we consume iron rich foods like lean meats, eggs, fortified cereals etc for breakfast. Point is that skipping breakfast would lead to low levels of iron in us.
By drinking tea/coffee immediately after meals:
Iron absorption could get affected when we drink coffee or tea immediately after eating meals. It is noteworthy that coffee and tea have polyphenols and tannins in them and these would bind with iron and inhibit the absorption of iron. It is true that the iron absorption by us would be lowered by 60% if we drink these beverages immediately within an hour after eating meals. This has been confirmed by a research study conducted by the American Society of Nutrition.
By excess intake of calcium foods with iron rich meals:
Iron absorption would get hindered if we eat excess amounts of calcium based foods with iron rich meals. For the absorption in the gut, calcium would compete with iron. This would make it harder for our body to get iron which the body would need. Point is that this becomes an issue when calcium is consumed as supplements. It was published in the British Journal of Nutrition that intake of more than 300gms of calcium at a time would lower iron absorption in us. In this situation, it is necessary that we space out the intake of calcium based foods from iron rich meals.
By eating a vegetarian diet without proper planning:
If not properly planned, intake of vegetarian foods would lead to iron deficiency in us. Non-heme iron or iron from plant based sources would get less effectively absorbed by our body than heme iron present in animal products. Phytates that are present in vegetarian foods would lead to poor absorption of iron.
By not consuming iron rich foods:
When we don`t eat sufficient iron rich foods like lentils beans, poultry, lean meats etc then we could get iron deficiency in us. It has been revealed by WHO that 30% of the population across the globe has been affected by iron deficiency especially due to poor dietary intake.
By ignoring gut health issues:
Absorption of iron depends on gut health. Truth is that our gut`s ability to absorb nutrients would get reduced due to issues like celiac disease, Crohn`s disease etc.
Many of us would have felt a burning kind of sensation in our mouths after eating fresh hot samosa or drinking hot coffee or tea etc. This burnt issue can be there for many hours together causing huge discomfort for us. There is no need to worry about this burnt mouth issue as there are few home remedies available to soothe the burnt feeling.
The home remedies are
By drinking cold milk:
It is true that by drinking cold milk we would be able to get some relief from the burning sensation in our mouths. Intake of cold milk would numb the area and would give us immediate relief. The presence of proteins like casein in the milk would coat the burnt tissues in the mouth. A protective layer would be formed and this would help in speedy healing.
By applying honey:
Not many of us know the fact that honey can be a natural healer. The burnt pain in the mouth would be reduced by applying honey on the area in the mouth. The antibacterial properties of honey play a huge role here. Soothing layer would be formed over the burnt area in the mouth and this would facilitate faster healing.
By applying ghee:
As a remedy for burns, ghee has been used for many decades and that is mainly due to its special cooling properties. By applying ghee, our burning sensation in the mouth would reduce. Ghee application would help in tissue repair.
By applying aloe vera gel:
A popular home based remedy for treating burning sensation in the mouth is by applying aloe vera gel. The reason is due to its cooling and healing properties It must be noted that there would be immediate relief from the burning feel due to cool temperature and creamy texture of aloe vera gel.
By applying sugar:
The pain of burnt mouth would get reduced when we apply sugar. Sugar works by stimulating our saliva production and this would cool down the burning feeling. Healing would be promoted. Truth is that this sugar application remedy could be used when other home remedies are not available.
