Recently, Miriah participated in a study that was designed to determine how much iron is necessary to prevent iron deficiency. Within a few weeks of consuming an iron-free diet, Miriah's red blood cells began to show signs that they lacked iron, and she began to complain about feeling tired. At that point, the researched added some iron to Miriah's food, so her daily intake of the mineral would be 1 mg. After 1 week, the researchers checked the iron content of Miriah's blood, and although it was higher than the earlier value, she still complained about feeling tired. In the weeks that followed, the scientists continued to increase Miriah's iron intake by 1 mg/week and check her for signs and symptoms of iron deficiency.
