A stunning solution to a global health problem. Throw a fish into the cooking pot to beat iron deficiency. Just make sure your fish is made out of iron.
80% of people in the world don't have enough iron in their bodies.That's 2 billion people, we understand. Iron deficiency causes anemia in 30% of people. It was Dr.Christopher Charles who invented the original concept of the iron fish to deal with the problem of Cambodian women dying at childbirth due to iron deficiency. Now it is a global health movement. And he is on the board of The Lucky Iron Fish company founded by Gavin Armstrong,
The iron fish is shaped like a...well... like a fish, what else! All you need to do is wash the iron fish with soap, water and a soft cloth. Throw it in the cooking pot (1 litre water or broth with 2-3 drops of citrus juice, which is required for the absorption of iron) and boil it for 10 minutes then remove. This simple process releases 75% of your daily-required iron intake and the fish is reusable for up to 5 years.
If you are wondering why this miracle-iron is shaped like a fish and not..say a tomato, it's because fish is a symbol of luck in Cambodia, the country that inspired this health innovation.
