Is iron deficiency keeping you from sleeping at night?

Is iron deficiency keeping you from sleeping at night?

If your legs tend to tingle or twitch at night, keeping you awake, it may be that a lack of iron causes your brain cells to send mixed up signals telling your legs to move.

Ask your doctor to run a blood test to check your iron levels. If you have an iron deficiency, add more iron rich foods such as beef and leafy greens to your diet. Oysters and multi-vitamins are good for this also.
