What kind of food should I eat to help me build my iron and lower my cholesterol?

Those are two other things my doctor told me on my check up my heart is getting bad and my iron is low and my cholesterol is high. He said to check in to the Mediterranean Diet but no one here seemed to know too much about it. I guess I should just lower my calories and still with a family I do not know how to do that for me and still feed them.

Thank you.What kind of food should I eat to help me build my iron and lower my cholesterol?
Lean RED meat is an excellent source of iron.

Beef would be the choice in this area.

A Mediterranean diet is high in the so-called 'good' fats such as the ones found in olive oil and olives, and low in animal fats (butter, lard, cheese etc).



Iron comes from meat and fish. Fish are also high in the same fats that are good for you too. Since the best sources of iron tend to be red meat, you may just want to look into taking a multivitamin that contains iron and work on correcting your cholesterol through diet. Removing processed foods as much as possible will also help with that.
nerve interference can cause all the above. see an hio method chiropractor to check. grape juice is a good iron source, but only in moderation. b vits are good for a lot of things, including liver function.
