Ever feel like you just can't shake off that lingering fatigue even after recovering from COVID? You're not alone. Millions of people experience long COVID, a frustrating collection of symptoms that persist long after the initial infection. Now, research from the University of Cambridge suggests a surprising culprit: low iron levels.
Iron is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in the production of hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. Iron is also important for growth, development, normal cellular functioning, and synthesis of some hormones and connective tissue.
We get iron from certain plant and animal foods, such as red meat and poultry. Plant-based sources contain non-heme iron, which is not absorbed as efficiently as the heme iron found in animal products.
However, you can enhance the absorption of non-heme iron by consuming it with vitamin C or with animal proteins. COVID can disrupt how the body manages iron, causing either iron deficiency or abnormal iron storage. This can make the infection worse and affect recovery.

I put this in the politics section because the republicans have totally politicized this virus.
This is very interesting. Apparently covid interrupts the gene that manages iron in the body. They are finding that inflammation and anemia is what causes long covid.
I highly recommend reading the article to get the information.
It looks like covid does damage to more than just the lungs. It's also people's brain and now even people's genes.
trump was so lying. Covid isn't just a cold or the flu.
Worse, he knew he was lying when he said covid was just a cold or the flu.
