3. Dark, Leafy Greens

Leafy greens like kale, spinach, collard greens, and chard are among the most nutritious foods you can eat, packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and iron. A cup of cooked spinach delivers 6.4mg of iron, along with vitamin A, vitamin K, folate, and vitamin C, which actually boosts your body's ability to absorb that iron.

Cooked collard greens and kale offer 2.2mg and 1.2mg per cup, respectively. Aim for at least two servings of dark, leafy greens daily.
