What's a Lucky (Iron) Fish?
The Lucky Fish caught my eye - the name alone is an attractive proposition, conjuring up thoughts of happiness and health. This little iron fish, which you can hold in the palm of your hand, is a carefully designed health innovation that can actually improve your health by improving your iron intake.
Iron & Red Blood Cells Are Key to Good Health
Iron is needed to produce red blood cells and is a key to a healthy body. Iron deficiency can lead to anemia, which can cause severe fatigue, complications with pregnancy, heart problems such as irregular heartbeats, weakness, dizziness, impaired cognitive function and even death according to the Mayo Clinic.[i] People who are most susceptible to anemia are over the age of 65, have a family history of anemia and women who are pregnant or are still menstruating. Certain diseases — such as rheumatoid arthritis, Cohn’s disease, cancer, kidney disease, HIV/AIDS, and other chronic inflammatory diseases — also often interfere with the production of red blood cells. A diet consistently low in iron, vitamin B-12 and folate also increases your risk of anemia.[ii]
When your blood doesn't have enough red blood cells, that’s when anemia occurs. That means either your body isn’t making enough red blood cells or your body is destroying your red blood cells or bleeding us causing you to lose more red blood cells than your body can make to replace them.
There’s a way to change that…. with a simple, affordable, and effective solution anyone can use.
Why the Fish Works!
Each Lucky Fish is made from a special type of iron. The shape, size and weight are carefully calculated so the Lucky Fish releases roughly 70 micrograms after use. The key is following directions and allowing 10 minutes of boiling in acidified water. The LuckyIronFish.com website has a "Recipe Tank" for soup, tea, rice, sangria and other recipes.
